Just got a new vigor. Running vista;64bit; with an Intel Core i7; 2.67GHZ, 3GB RAM; and, 2 GeForce GTX 260. The problem is that when I log into GW, the screen goes beserk! Blinking, blurring, etc... I called Tech Support at Vigor and they suggested I disable the SLI -- which I did and that fixed the problem BUT turning off the SLI sort of defeats the purpose of paying for 2 video cards! I checked and have the latest drivers for both cards. My monitor is a samsung/model p2370.
Anyone got any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks

well simple answer would be to disable SLI for GW - you sure as heck don't need it for a 4+ yr old game.... enable it for newer games.
If you are determined to get 300+ FPS you could download the latest drivers directly from NVIDIA, use DriverSweeper (www.guru3d.com) in safe mode and then install the new drivers - might fix it for you.

I started off with 2x GTX 260's and upgrade to 2x GTX 295's. When i had the 260's I never had a problem like your describing. Are you tweeking the setting is the nvidia control panel, or just leaving them as globally controlled/application controlled? You can use SLI with GW, and to be honest, yeah its overkill, but some ppl like to see that 200+fps. Are you using textmod? And yes go download the latest drivers. If that doesn't work, call nvidia, not Vigor. Vigor just build your rig, not the video cards, and that seems to be the issue.

200+FPS? Are you folks joking!! I am lucky to get 60. After putting all that money into the system, would think checking with the builder to see if they may some error in setting up the SLI was the best first stop but... Anyway, appreicate the inputs.

Easiest way is to check the bridge between the 2 cards. Should be a little plastic tab that connects both GPU's together. If that isn't present then there could be some issues. But the GTX 260's have what 896 vram? You should easily be up over 60 fps even with just 1 GPU.

SLI and GW don't always get along, I would try it with one GPU and see what kind of FPS you get. I have dual 4850s and I get 230+ FPS in Crossfirex in 1080p, so even with one gtx 260 you should be around 80-100 if not higher.
