    Hi !

    With my x7200 sager notebook (dual 480m gtx) I always have blue glittering on the screen when playing games in SLI mode, but only when full screen is activated in the game...

    The same for every game and many drivers it seems... in fact never bothered to check every drivers out there....

    My drivers are the last drivers from the sager website


    Do you have any idea ? Why is this ???

    Thanks a lot !!

    Does this happen all the time when gaming, or only when minimizing and going back to full screen? Does it do the same thing on an external display?

    Sounds like it could possibly be artifacting. Try hooking up an external monitor like Malibal suggested. Also, see if disabling SLI makes any changes.

    Never tried an external display as I don't have one... But with SLI disabled (in full screen mode) no problems...

    SLI is always tricky, though that sounds unusual. If you have the latest drivers it could be a power issue. The fact that it doesn't do that without SLI is a sign that it's not monitor/monitor cable related, which is good. If it doesn't do it in all games, I'd just say that it's an SLI scaling issue. If it does it in all games, I'd suggest hooking up a kill-a-watt and seeing how much power you're drawing. Certain cards in SLI may require more power than you've got.
