    possible Faulty SLI bridge

    hello, my 3xs system arrived yesterday night via friendly reg, everything looked good and the computer looked smart and tidy inside.

    initially its all working fine until i start using Sli in games and get Horrible flickering, ive done abit of reading on the subject and seems to be that the solution is normally just pushing on the sli bridge to make sure its properly seated on both cards.

    i have tried this solution and it does indeed work however it seems to work its way loose again after some time and i have to repeat the process.

    is there chance of a replacment bridge? i dont have any spares in the boxes that i can see.


    edit:.. have pulled the bridge out and reseated it completely and now seems to be working ok, are these bridge things normally this tempremental?

    Hi

    Can you confirm which games are having the issues as some do have issues with Sli for example Crysis 2 has terrible Sli support and this does cause the game to flicker, this should be resolved with the next patch hopefully as we are getting a lot of people questioning this

    If you try 3DMark and Heaven Benchmark and the issue is still apparent let us know and we will post a new bridge out to you

    Regards

    Ben

    was with anything while using SLI mode, switching to single gpu stopped it.
    fsx/crysis/x3/crysis2/gta4/oblivion/eve and some others, same issue flashing colours and major flickering.

    was even messing out video's.

    has not re-ocurred since i i removed the bridge and reseated it, think it must have worked loose in transit, as said though its ok for now and wil keep a sharp eye on it.

    thanks.

    Crysis 2 has terrible Sli support?
    How can a developer forget about sli,
    especially crytec, they must of needed 4xsli while making the first crysis.

    It's a shame because duel EVGA gtx560ti's SC are awesome.

    I know it's fixed now but still...
