GTA San Andreas - Problem w SLI
Aloha!
I was wondering if there was anyone who could help me with my dilemma. I have the following system: AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 CPU ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro Sound Card TWINX2048-3200C2PRO x2 = 4GB TOTAL DDR400 XMS3200 ProSeries RAM 2x XFX PVT70FUDE7 GeForce 7800 GTX PCI Express 256MB DDR3 Video Card Running in SLI Mode Thermaltake W0049RUC Silent PurePower 680W Power Supply 8x SATA Drives of Various sizes running in RAID stripe mode Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard & Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 2.4 GHz USB Gamepad Logitech Driving Force Pro PlayStation2 Wheel CH Fighter Stick USB & CH Pro Throttle USB 2x D-Link DUB-H7 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub 2x DVD (RAM, RW, R) MAD-DOG Internal Drives 1x DVD (RW, R Dual Layer) Sony External Drive 2x Sony X-Brite 19" Monitor Thermaltake A1681 Aquarius III External Liquid Cooling System Thermaltake External Reservoir Aluminum Cooling Tower I'm having problems with certain games when running in SLI mode. The graphics is fine when I play Doom3 or FEAR, however when I run GTA San Andreas, the screen splits vertically in two and the graphics on the top half starts creeping down 7/8th of the way. The bottom 1/8th of the screen is stuck on the opening screen for GTA while the top 7/8th is the game screen. I downloaded the latest drivers for my video cards and I still get the same result. I even swapped the two cards to see if that would make a difference. I went to the GTA website but the only patch they had was the one to remove the controversial "HOT COFFEE" segment of the game. The game has no problems when I deactivate the SLI Mode which is a pain just to play this game. I'm hoping someone would have some insight regarding this issue. Mahalo!

There are some games that simply aren't compatible with SLI mode on various motherboards, due to various reasons (this is why SLI can be disabled as easily as it is). GTA: SA is one of those games. Many people have had problems with GTA: SA in SLI mode on ASUS A8N Deluxe/Premium boards, however, there have been reports of it working on an ASUS A8N32X-SLI. The easiest solution is to just setup an nVidia profile to disable SLI for GTA - it doesn't need both cards anyway, it's not that intensive.
