<p>I currently have:</p><p>Two 9800 gtx's (SLI)</p><p>Vista 64bit</p><p>8gigs of ram running at 1066</p><p>Intel Quad @ 2.83Ghz</p><p>Driver version 182.08 whql</p><p>860w PSU with 68amp 12v rail</p><p>Heres the problem, any time i play EQ2 after 3-4min the game starts to artifact really badly (i play in windowed mode). I tried the suggestions posted in this thread <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=444891" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=444891</a> about chaning the properities of the exe file. Those didnt seem to help.</p><p>Please note this artifacting only occurs in EQ2 (no other games) and my system temps (while under load) never peak over 50deg C. If i tab out to another window there is no artifacting. Therefore i belive this problem is only related to EQ2 itself. I've always played with SLI enabled without any problems untill just recently (around when brewday was unlocked) when the problems started.</p><p>If i disable SLI the game runs fine without any problems. So for the time being i have to keep doing that (highly annoying though).</p><p>If anyone has any solutions or suggestions i would greatly appriciate it.</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>I have been hearing reports that the driver version you're using is causing problems for some people.  You might want to try a previous driver version, preferably the version released in October of last year.  Make sure to completely remove the current drivers before reinstalling.  Let me know whether or not that helps.</p>
