G1.Sniper 3, Tri-SLI and nV Surround

[caboob]

Has anybody been successful at getting this to work? I can run single card and 2-way SLI to power 3 screens but when I attempt 3-way SLI I get locked up after 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay (BF3, Arma2).

Please advise.

I currently have 301.42 installed but have tried 301.34, the release driver for my cards

Note the time of the problem and use the Windows Event Viewer to see if there are any entries that point to a problem.
Check out Official BETA NVIDIA 301.24 Display Driver Feedback Thread For NVIDIA Geforce Desktop/Notebook/ION GPUs - NVIDIA Forums for possible solutions.

I've attempted to create said PC Specs list but the form doesn't seem to accept my data. When I click the "save settings" button the screen refreshes and all that inputted info is gone. I have updated my signature instead.

I'll definitely check out that driver feedback thread.

Thanks.

Problem confirmed.
I updated my PC Specs and the change was not saved.
This problem reappears randomly.
I've notified the forum support people.

Hi All,

Been smacking my head for the last week trying to figure out how you even got 2 way sli working!!????

I just updated my BIOS to F5 and still cannot even get DVI port to stop flickering on 1 card!

can you assist me with getting this resolved? or point me in the right direction?

I was thinking chipset might need a update but not sure how to proceed with that?

I have tested each of my GTX 670's via Heaven and they both seem to be working fine. manage to run Heaven amongst the flickering, but once in heaven it didnt flicker at all during the benchmark!
Displayport a different story all together - keeps going into power save mode on a repeated basis, i did manage to run 1 heaven run while it was turning on and off (took a long time) but once i ran it i noticed no sound coming from onboard at all.

I have tried disabling onboard sound to which still created same result. regardless of which cable used.
if i manage to get in a game while with DVI cable in - it manages to not flicker at all - strange!

tried both 301.42 and .25 drivers - both produce the same result.

its becoming very frustrating!!!

I am hoping that its not a case of faulty graphics cards or motherboard etc, but some setting or update i have not applied..

Any assistance would be great!

thanks,

Create a detailed hardware list in your forum signature.
Be sure to include bios versions (motherboard and video cards), o/s version and brand/model numbers for all components.

Verify that all components and cables are properly connected.

ahhhh found it!

Re: G1.Sniper 3, Tri-SLI and nV Surround

I have found the solution to my Tri-SLI problems.

It turns out that the nvidia 301.40 beta driver is the only driver that allows me to successfully run and pass the Furmark benchmark (all stock settings). I then tried BF3 and DayZ and it all worked without issue. I FINALLY have a computer I can use. WOOT!! The vsync bug doesnt bother me because I usually have it disabled.

Prior to this driver, I was using the WHQLs and the latest beta 304.XX without success. The 301.40 happens to be the release driver for my videocards. Hope this helps.

Glad to hear that the 301.40 Nvidia driver solved your problem.
Thanks for the update.
