Hi, I'm getting a flicker when playing Battlefield 4. I want to know the best way to fix it (and preferably the easiest way). Running SLI GTX 660s. Thanks
 
Solution
I bet you are using Win 7. Here's my perfect solution:
1. Right click on desktop-->Personalize-->Window color--> UNCHECK "enable transparency"
2. Right click on taskbar-->Properties-->UNCHECK "Use aero peek to preview the desktop"

In short, disable transparency and areo peek, that's why this won't happen to Win 8


game just came out, im sure its not been totally optimized for great sli performance yet..aren't they still sorting certain glitches out etc? how many GB of system RAM?

No I haven't. I'll have to try it. But is there anything you know of in the video settings that would fix it?

Have you updated to 331.65 drivers? With 331.58 and 331.40 people were reporting that flickering issue. So make sure you update to latest drivers.

I have SLI 660s as well and I don't have flickering with 331.65.

Disable any overclocks you have performed on the card -if you have. It is healthier for BF4 at least until some patches and driver updates.

I am having the same Issue with my EVGA gtx 660s. I reinstalled drivers and nothing is working. Wtf to new nvidia driver .82 and also BF4 new update. If you figure out a way to fix this let me know.

Disable sli but this is one of the reasons why i choose single gpu setups of now. SLI just didnt work out for me so well
