Terrible issues with 285gtx sli - RESOLVED

[stnicralisk]

Replaced the new 285 BFG OC and everything works fine!


Especially prevalent in l4d. With multicore rendering option enabled and without.

I do not have problems with it using one card and I have used both cards alone and everything functions fine.

2x 285gtx

The cards are stock.

I have run in safe mode and uninstalled drivers, used driver cleaner, installed the latest driver 186.12 with no luck. I am close to giving up on SLI and selling the second card. Anyone have any advice? SLIforums seems to be lacking an answer - or everyone has an answer but none of them work.

I am getting the nvd....... driver has failed and recovered error and 15 - 40 seconds of freezing and sound loop. This is listed as something that is fixed by SP1 for Vista 64 but I have all the updates :/

Steam claims that I have too much pooled memory - I have 250mb pooled physical memory. Is it too much?

I think there were some issues with L4D on some nV driver sets...not sure which but you could google it. As for the other games I'm not sure.

This thread was from just a few days ago... seems like L4D is a bit of an issue right now. Driver problems are part of life from time to time, I'm sure they'll get it fixed sooner than later. Good luck.
