Widescreen SLI Issue Tracking Options

[fatguy]

This is not a thread for flaming, expressing frustration, complaints, etc. If you want to vent, do it somewhere else. This thread is meant for information sharing purposes only.


Apparently the other thread disappeared, so I am going to basically summarize what is going on with the SLI Widescreen Issue in hopes of maintaining a centralized, informative location for people experiencing this issue to stay up to date.

The following points are a summation of the issues people are experiencing with SLI and widescreen resolutions:

1) Jittery video in AFR mode, tearing line in SFR mode at widescreen resolutions such as 1680x1050 and 1920x1200

Affected Montiors:
- Dell 2005FPW
- Dell 2405FPW
- Sony SDM-P234
- ViewSonic VP231wb
- Samsung 213T
- All Apple Cinema Displays
- Reports of issue occuring on some CRT montors as well

Available (Temporary) Fixes:
- Use the analog connection (assuming you have one, my eVGA has 2 DVI connections)
- Play in window mode
- Switch to a 4:3 ratio-based resolution
- 64-bit Windows (apparently works with beta 64-bit nVidia Drivers, but AA does not work)


2) VSynch does not work.


3) SLI will not work across multiple monitors as advertised


At this point, the collective consensus is that we would like to see an updated beta on nZone which is supposed to fix the issue. It has been stated by an nVidia rep that the problem is fixed in the new release of the drivers...which currently has no ETA.

Please post any additional info which you feel is relevant. Do not post flames, insults, or anything like "OMG WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN FIXORED?" We are all frustrated, everyone's aware of that by now.

Thanks.
