I just received my 2nd GTX 260.

I have installed it and the drivers and have SLI enabled in my control panel along with Physx

when I go to play a game I get flickering red lines and flickering textures that look horrible....when I disable SLI....everything is fine
 
Ok.....I turned the sli bridge around and swapped slots with the cards and it is now ok.

The temps are better on the cards with them swapped around too.

I think the 2nd card was not seated right, but I am not positive...but it is working now.

I do have a few questions though......when I run the benchmark for Batman Arkham Asylum, I get the following results

1 card 41 frames minimum 101 frames maximum 71 frames average

2cards 32 frames minimum 92 frames maximum 62 frames avereage

Here are some Clear Sky Shots
SLI with 2xAA

Batman Arkham Asylum has a profile in the control panel, so I am assuming it supports sli....I am using the new 196.21 drivers

Farcry 2 also seems to support sli, and the frames show that as well.

What mode of sli is best for games....force alternate frames or nvidia recommended....that is what I am using.

OK....after some research I have found out that Batman Arkham Asylum
does indeed play better with one GTX 260 as just a PhysX card.

The following benchmark was done at 1920 x 1080....2XAA..16XAF....All other video settings set to the maximun setting allowed and the PhysX setting to the highest allowed....so i guess this is pretty impressive considering this game is better not utilizing SLI.

The new Stalker game benchmark scales very well in sli....matter of fact, in the last leg of that benchmark with the sunshafts....there was times when it would bring both GTX 260's to their kness....lol

With one card you could see all of the vegatation and stuff popping before your eyes, but in sli, most everything was already drawed out and very smooth.....I wish all games scaled this well as this is very nice indeed.
