Problem solved. Something is wrong with the old motherboard. I was in Microcenter a couple days ago so I picked up a new Asus Maximus VI Hero. Finally got around to making the swap. Instantly the problem vanished. I didn't even reinstall windows (though I will). I just swapped the board and let windows reconfigure itself. Very painless process.

Very happy guy over here. Gotta figure out what I'm gonna do for graphics cards now. I have 3 290x's currently but only have desire to run 2.

1- Msi gaming
1- Msi Lightning
1- Asus DCU II

Wish I had a maching pair. =(

Oh weird.

So the old motherboard had a problem with SLI then? Was it also stuttering with 1 GPU?

Thats the problem with PC's... problem could be ANYTHING!
