Picked up a second card for a hell of a deal for SLI.  Only problem is now Tomb Raider and Hitman Absolution run slower then they did with one card.  Tried isolating if one card was bad but they both are running about even in single form. Only seems to crap out when I run SLI.   Driver issue?  Anyone notice hits like this for these games?  If not it pisses me off I shelled out another 190 bucks for a second card only to get hosed on performance!

Sometimes some games don't scale well with dual card configurations.

And this is why we can't have nice things.

Driver issue or just games not coded correctly for it?

Both Tomb Raider and Hitman are both optermised for SLI. You should be getting better performance.

Have you enabled SLI in the Nvidia control panel?

Yes I have.......Have the Nvidia Experience installed as well.  I have this odd belief I have a random error that will be solved with a complete re-install that I really don't want to do.

Hmmm.... In Hitman absolution you should be getting. 10-15% increase in performance.

What driver version are you running?

I thought that but tried the WHQL and it did the same......I am thinking since I installed the card on a pre running setup that there is something causing the slow down when it should be speeding up.  I was hoping to find another answer then a fresh install.  Looks to be thought that I need a fresh install of windows to proceed to see if something else is a miss!
