I have two titans running in sli at 4k on my sony bravia tv with driver version 337.88 with no problems. As soon as I update to any new driver beyond this point I get green flashing lines up and down the screen rendering any game unplayable in 4k, my question is this must be software rather than a hardware or Sli bridge problem as it is only instigated by the driver update, please can someone at NVidia look into this as I feel I have wasted my money on these cards if driver updates make them unusable in sli?
My system specs are:-
NZXT Enthusiast Ultra Tower Case - Gun Metal Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor
Overclocked & Optimisation
Silent Cooler      Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

    Can you verify that this happens with different SLI bridges, and test with SLI disabled

    This happens with every sli bridge I have tried,  six in total, I have tried the 3 way sli as well as it fits the two outer slots due to my card spacing. The problem goes away with Sli disabled but then obviously I'm loosing half the graphics processing power of the cards working together. Thanks for your interest, regards Matt

    Dear MattyDread,
     
    I removed the serial numbers as it is not a good thing to post these online. I am sending you an email with a firmware update for your cards. Please run the update and then email me at chrisb@evga.com if the problem should continue.

    Hello, can you please verify that your motherboard is using the latest BIOS, this should not effect things, however it is possible.
    Next, can we get the BIOS revision on the cards?  This can be found in the Nvidia control panel under Help - System information, and you can get the BIOS information form the cards for each card from there.

    Have you tried switching the cards in the slots? I had this problem when i went sli.
    Also, try your second sli slot on your GPU if you have one. As that also solved one of my problems.

    I have found a new bios for my motherboard efiflash.exe but it says it is not compatible with 64bit systems so cant use that, my card bios is the one that chris B sent me so I assume its the latest one
    80 10 3C 00 90 still getting green strobing on most games, for example skyrim and sniper elite 3 are unplayable at 4k sli, thanks for your time Matt

    I have already tried to buy them from EVGA's European supplier but they are out of stock, besides I have already spent the equivalent of $2000 on the two titans that don't function properly with the supplied bridge so yes Send me one rather than purchase one seems appropriate!!!
