World of Warcraft and SLI problems

[miltonic]

I just recently built my dream machine, and part of that package includes the Dell 2405FPW monitor and two 7800 GTX cards in SLI.

I've had hitches here and there trying to get SLI to work properly with certain games, but none look more ugly than World of Warcraft. The main problem is that major screen tearing occurs. If I disable SLI and only use one card, it looks great. I do have V-sync and triple buffering enabled in game, but it makes no difference, the tearing is as bad as always.

Does anyone Play World of Warcraft in SLI and 1920 X 1200 resolution and have these same problems? IS there anything you've found that fixes it, withou resorting to turning off SLI? I will note that my PSU is SLI compliant. Thanks for any advice, and grats on the great website and forum.

I don't have the game but are you using the WoW profile in the Nvidia settings ?

Yes, I play WoW in SLI at 1920x1200, and yes, I agree, vsync seems to be broken. I still get tearing, not too horrendous, but still noticeable. Only thing I can suggest, which is something I should get round to myself, is to try and force vsync on via the nvidia control panel and see if it works then.
