    If this is the only issue we have that should be the least of our worrys quite frankly .

    One thing im unsure of is if that cable is just fine ? i mean heck it could be rated to withstand the heat of the sun for all i know i just thought it was a bad decision but im no engineer either.

    Im having the same issue with crysis, Dell is sending me a replacement card and cable today. My luck is the worst. My flextronics psu adapter is wonky also.

    Update: With Call of duty 4, disabling SLI makes the blue halo go away. so im pretty convinced that the SLI cable is kaput.
