SLI texture flickering problem

I had this problem a few updates ago and it was fixed but now it's back. I have 2x770GTX and the latest Nvidia driver, older drivers didn't work, other games work fine. Disabling SLI fixes it. Here i...

    OK I installed Origin on Windows 7 and pointed the installation to my SSD, no flickering and SLI working! So I did two things at the same time and I'm not sure which fixed it. I uninstalled DisplayLink driver, this is a driver for my USB monitor, this actually fixed a problem I was having whereby everytime I uninstalled the Nvidia driver my system would crash, screen went black and it got stuck in a loop, had to force a shut down. The exact same thing happened when I tried to disable SLI, basically DisplayLink and SLI don't get along, the developers know it and have out right dropped support for it but on the whole it works fine with SLI.

    The other thing I did was uninstall the Nvidia driver, reboot in safe mode and Driver Sweep, then restart and Uninstall both cards from Device manager, funnily one card had an explanation mark on it, shut down, took the second card out, loaded windows and installed latest driver, shut down, put the second card in and no more flickering in BF4.

    I think it's more likely that something got corrupted during the crashes when I uninstalled the Nvidia driver due to Displaylink driver, actually one time the Nvidia icon was still present after I uninstalled, crashed and rebooted and even after Driver Sweeping the new installer said it was removing something before installing the new driver. Anyhow, seems fixed now thankfully.

Does not one else with SLI have this problem?

    No I don't have that issue and I use SLI.

    Try going to nVidia Control Panel, 3D Settings, Program Settings.

    Select BF4

    Change SLI to Render Frames 2  (assuming it's on nVidia default, if it isn't on nVidia default make it that)

    You might also check (if that was on default)  to see if your SLI on your global settings isn't set to something non-default.

      I have tried many different Inspector settings, none of them fixed the flickering. Only thing that works is setting every in SLI to 1 card and single frame rendering (disables SLI). Using 337.88. really frustrating because this issue was fixed a few patches ago but now it's back but only for me it seems!?

        What happens if you keep both cards on but play in window mode anything but full screen?

        Edit.... 

        Also make sure your power on PC and in control panel are set to performance. I hope this helps  :womanhappy:
