System is as follows:
Asus A8N-SLI deluxe, AMD FX-55, Crucial Ballistix 512MBx2, eVGA GF6800GT x2, Creative Audigy, WD and Maxtor SATA HDDs, Toshiba DVD, Plextor DVD+/-RW, Enermax 600 watt PSU, Viewsonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor.
Regardless of drivers or BIOSes, the image quality when in SLI mode of most games (HL2, WoW, SW:KotOR) has tearing. I've seen some people refer to "texture shimmering", and one a thread on another forum with a screenshot of the problem. I have tried v-sync enabled and disabled, both via in-game and via drivers. This includes up to the 71.84 beta drivers. The 75.xx drivers crashed SW:KotOR at the menu, so I didn't continue. When I operate in "single GPU" mode, the problem does not exist. Half-Life 2 and WoW are on the list of supported SLI games, yet the tearing when turning my character's view is dramatic. All of my games are updated to the current patch.
Also, regardless of single or SLI mode, I can not enter S3 standby.
I've also tried an ATI X850XT, and these problems do not exit using the Catalyst 5.2 drivers.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? I have a hard time believing anyone would be excited about SLI when this problem exists, which leaves me hope that the problem can be corrected on my end.
