Possible SLI Issue?

[Shredderc4]

Hey guys,

     Recently moving over from console to PC, I built my first PC. I have an Intel Core i7 6700k. 2 Nvidia GTX 780's in SLI (given to me to help save money on the build). An Asrock Z710 Fatality K6 motherboard, and a Samsung 850 EVO SSD. 

 

     I just recently decided to start playing games on my PC, and I decided I wanted to do a play through of the witcher 3 and Skyrim. While trying to do so, my screen does a flicker and a stutter that I haven't seen before. I am gaming on a Samsung 4k monitor, but have the resolution set to 1080p and am getting consistent 60 fps. I am not sure why it is doing this and could use some help. Thanks in advance!

Video won't launch on mobile for some reason, but, if it is stuttering that could be an issue with SLI. Try disabling it, SLI, and crossfire have lots of bugs most are solved by simply disabling it.

Does it happen any other time? So the system is runnin at 1080, is the game also at that res or did you just run the game at 1080? What drivers and are you monitoring the cards specs?

i would reseat the GPU's and try a different SLI cable, i had same isues with an SLI cable, make sure it sits or flip it the other way around...

No, it only seems to happen when I run games such as The Witcher 3 and Skyrim. Never did it with CSGO or even watching 4k video, or rendering 1080p60fps. The game was set to run at 1080p through NVidia Geforce Experience and in the settings of the game it was confirmed that it was running at 1080p. I have the latest drivers from NVidia. I have been peridocially checking my cards and running test benches and such (testing with HWmonitor), and everything seems to be in working order. I disabled SLI and it worked, but I would still like to be able to use SLI at some point until i can get my new GPU.

Well I suggest using an older driver if you don't play new games.
