I'm having a flickering problem with SLI enabled with my 8800 cards, i don't have any problems with SLI disabled running one card.. When i enable SLI however, the colors are off and the screen flickers.. Could this be a driver problem? Has anyone else had this issue before?

Yes. SLi with 8800 series cards is still a little buggy....

Turns out one of my 8800GTS cards was faulty, i ended up trying it on one of my PCI-E slots and low and behold the same screen flickering problem occured, my other 8800GTS didn't do this so that how i came to the conclusion that the card was bad.. Anyways, i ended going back to Fry's and returned both 8800Gt's for a GTX, now i'm back in single card mode and i'm happy once again.. Thanks for your help.:D

I too ended up returning 2x8800 GTS's and went with a single 8800 GTX ultra (upgraded from 7900 GTX SLI). I now spend far less time fiddling with SLI profiles and changing drivers to fix game specific SLI issues. For some games the GTX is a little slower than the GTS SLI but on the whole it is just a lot less hassle and for games with limited or no SLI benefit the GTX is faster.
