    Far Cry 4 doesnt in SLI either? Green Bars appear flash up?

    Whenever I try to play FC4 with SLI enabled, green bars dance up and down the screen. This occurs on the intro bit, the main menu and in game.I have tried updating my graphics drivers and this doesn't fix the problem. I have 2x NVidia GTX 580s and ive never had and trouble with SLI support for them yet.

    And I find this out just after I resolve to only play FC4 in stereo because it doesn.t like to work in surround sound.... It is now officially 2015... Some developers had those things sorted years ago!

    Note that this only happens when in full screen mode. When the game is windowed, it works fine... Even when I alt-tab out of the game making it temporarily windowed...

    I have attached a video showing the issue.

    Have you added the far cry.exe via the nVidea control panel ?
    I was having similar problems with SLI until I added the far cry.exe to the games list in the control panel.

    That looks weird. I'm running SLI (GTX 980) with no issues (related to SLI anyway). Make sure your bridge connector is seated good. Maybe swap it if you have an extra.

    It looks like the diagnosis of the dodgy SLI bridge was correct!! Thank you. Although I might not be so thankful for long... Seeing you and theinternetcafe (thank you for your input as well) are both running either the 980 or the 780 in SLI... I was thinking of doing that... Which I can afford, the question is should I spend that much money! I live in Australia and unfortunately retail prices for GPUs here are marked up a lot compared to the USA and other countries!

    What level of displays are you guys both running?

    edit: nvm didn't see you got the sli connector above. I had the same issue and it was the sli connector as well here...
