Alright,

I have two 256 Video cards, they are NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS. I can have the cards run in SLI mode for improved performance. However, when I do this, Guild Wars doesn't take so kindly. When a loading screen is about to finish up, the screen flashes a bunch or the pixels turn strange colours, as if the computer is adjusting to a resolution change. It does this at EVERY loading screen, and is really annoying.

So for now, I'm playing Guild Wars with only one video card, but it is a waste of money. Any ideas?

GW has issues. Yes, it would be a waste to use an SLI setup for GW only.

Does the exact same thing on mine. Both my SLi and single card systems. It's nothing to worry about though, as the game works just fine.

Great. Now if I want to play F.E.A.R, I have to turn on SLI. Then turn it off for Guild Wars.....unless I want super annoying flashes during Guild Wars.

How abut using Game Profiles? You select the FEAR executable a specify an SLI profile, and do the same for GW and specify a non-SLI profile.
