Hi all
I have a few problems with my sli setup. I just got my second xfx 7900gt and found when I try to play bf2142 the screen goes grey after about 20 seconds. If I alt tab out and then return its ok for another 20 seconds then it does the same thing. I can hear the audio but just get no picture. I tried changing from single gpu to split in the advanced features and after the 20 seconds the top half of the screen goes grey but the botom is fine.
Also my 3d mark o5 score went from about 8500 to 9500. I wasn't expecting miracles but a 9500 in 05 just does not seem right, so I tried my new card on its own and again got around 8500. It looks like both cards are working fine on their own just not together.
I made sure I got the exsact same same second card as the first, but the second card must be from a much newer batch as it is black and my original one is silver. They both have the same model number.
I have had 6600gt's working fine in sli in this rig before so I know what has to be changed on installation and in the driver menu. Below are my related rig specs.
Gigabyte K8n pro-sli
AMD Athelon 64 3500
2x 7900 gt extreme
Antec Trupower 2.0 550w
2 gig of ram (4 x 512 sticks)
Any help would be appreciated.
