IT is an ancient Mariner ...   Registered Member #1044 Joined: Fri May 16 08, 05:08PMYour Location: Caerdydd, Cymru, UK Posts: 1145 | I've just installed the latest NVIDIA drivers (186.18). I have a couple of 8800GTXs in SLI running under XP. All of my other current games are fine. However, TF2 flickers between my character dying and moving to respawn. This happens a lot  No problem during actual play. I know TF2 is optimized for SLI, so I thought some incompatibility might be the cause.Not a big problem but I just wondered if it was happening to anyone else or if it was a known bug.

I'm getting this, what it looks like its doing is trying to show 2 different killcam shots of who killed you, the last kill and the kill before. i'm running a palit 295, settings all set to what tito told me to set them to   | ||||

Thanks for the replies, all. @Tito - I have "Max. Pre Rendered Frames" set to "3" and "Triple Buffering" set to "Off". What's your recommended configuration? Even though it didn't work for Garbled it may work for me since, as far as I can tell, PC's all have minds of their own Many thanks. Peanut - "... or is your beard broken again ...?" | ||||

Witty and Original.  Registered Member #1158 Joined: Sat Jul 05 08, 07:56PMYour Location: Cheltenham Posts: 46 | I'm getting the same, running latest drivers on my 9800GX2. Interestingly, I also get an insane amount of flickering if I set shadows to High in World of Warcraft. Does seem like the common factor is SLI, though. I might disable multi-GPU and see if that makes a difference... not that it's ideal, of course. [ Edited Sat Jul 04 09, 04:56PM ]  | ||||

Since the latest drivers caused it, I've got nowhere to go but backwards. From all your replies, I now know this isn't a sign that my GPUs are about to explode, so I can happily live with it  D Cheers. Peanut - "... or is your beard broken again ...?" | ||||
