Wouldn't hurt to disconnect them to see what happens.

The DP cable arrived today. Sadly it didn't fix the problem of the in and out black screen flicking in-game mode. I think it's really a driver issue from NVIDIA now. Last week I did see artifacting on the desktop only once. I don't know which card it is. Maybe I should RMA both cards for replacements.

3dmark time spy extreme, Heaven benchmark 4.0 @ max settings, Unigine superposition on the 8k optimized preset.

You already try the hotfix driver that supposedly fixes flickering in a couple of games?

If it was only that easy. Installed and I'm still faced with in-game black screen flicking...

Took a screen shot while in COD-OPS-4 Look at all the vertical lines in the graphics all over the place. Looks semi-vertical line artifacts effects? Limited on file size. Right click save as to view closer.
 

I'm not seeing vertical lines on my 4K monitor looking at that image. That would indicate a display problem, not a GPU problem.

Can you please look at the full screen version here's the link let me know what you see > https://ibb.co/hQOSJA

I already did. I would not have made the post that I did. Where exactly are you seeing vertical lines?

I don't see anything wrong in your screenshot.

I only see it in COD-BLACK-OPS-4 I played Friday the 13th and FarCry 4 none of which were present. It might just be the way the game looks. It's not present on my desktop Wallpapers or anything else other then said in-game.

Okay, well maybe you can give us an example? When you post an image that does NOT represent the issue you're having, it kinda makes troubleshooting more difficult. Kinda like telling us your big toe hurts when you've got a headache.

I only see the small fine vertical lines in the COD-4-BLACK-OPS I'd also say most game titles thus far have the black screen effect in-and-out. The only game so far without the issue is The Witcher III Not a single flicker of black in game mode. I must say at this point it's a driver issue with NVIDIA. I don't even get the flicking in and out on my desktop only in certain game titles. I don't even get it accruing in COD-4-BLACK-OPS only in the beginning on my game play. After which I don't see it at all unless I adjust my volume on my keyboard. Can anyone else with a 3440x1400 monitor or 4K display go into the same game mode in COD-4-BLACK-OPS like the one I posted and see the vertical lines in the character's skins? Also, look at the game play areas like the weapons it's noticeable. I believe it's the way the graphic textures are designed for the game from the developers.

I get driver crashes with black ops 4 416.34, ftw3 SLI with the same Asus HB bridge you got. Then cod spits out a "fatal error" with a bunch of random numbers seeing how the card got **disconnected** when in reality it is the driver crashing. Running 2560x1440 Gsync. Still doing more testing with other games

Yes, same here but it doesn't happen often now. I played the Witcher 3 without any black outs to date. I hope NVIDIA fixes their drivers. The 20 series cards are also having many problems both hardware and software related.

Update: After more testing. I have come to the conclusion that the problem could be related to my monitor. The Acer Predator X34 with G-SYNC 100Hz. I noticed by disabling G-Sync within the manage 3D settings under monitor technology. That when changed to "Fixed Refresh" and leaving V-Sync enabled on fast setting. I do not have issues with my games flicking with black screens in and out. When enabling back to G-Sync in SLI mode. I will have the same related issues with black screen flicking in game-mode. I also noticed this only occurs in SLI mode. If I run in none-sli then I do not see any in-game black screen flickering issues. I think this problem is coming down to the monitor display and not the video cards, DisplayPort cable, HB SLI Bridge or NVIDIA drivers. What do you guys have to say?

Doubt the monitor is the issue if the problem doesn't appear when using g-sync with a single card.

Flickering like this nearly always a driver/SLI issue compatibility. Sometimes resolved by using different SLI flags in the Profile, changing resolution, Vsync type...I went through all this years ago.

Update: I updated to bios version 86.2.39.41.92 And I still get the black in and out flickering when playing games. I might add that it only occurs when I enable SLI. When I'm starting to load a game and it will continue doing so when I start playing a game for a couple of seconds and then stop. I then continue playing without any problems. Aside from that, I do not see these issues on the desktop or while watching media content. Perhaps the issues is with the QC of NVIDIA drivers. Some games can have their own artifacting issues not related to hardware. If I could see artifacting in game mode or on m desktop. I would I RMA both video cards to EVGA. I will continue monitoring these issue and continue updating the drivers and bios when available.

By ordering the cable I don't know if it will fix the problem across the board with all the games or not. One other question I have is do you think this cable the ivanky DisplayPort Cable 6.6ft can do the exact same thing as the cable I purchased?

Nope.

Sajin,  
 
The ivanky displayport cable is compliant on all levels. Here's a response from the ivanky support team directly.
 
 

I guess you'll just have to take their word for it since their cable isn't listed in the vesa certified dp cable list. The cable I linked can do 8k@60hz.
 
Note: I never knew cables had g-sync.

iVanky Support perhaps meant it will support the G-SYNC LOL!

The fact their support would put out such nonsense makes you question the rest of their claims. As was pointed out, they are not listed as being certified. Use what you like, but I generally like to stick with officially certified stuff if possible.
