when in sli mode (2 gfx cards running) all the buttons and windows in decal/eltank flash like mad, making it annoying and unusable. If I disable sli and use 1 gfx card only eltank runs without this gfx hitch. anyone else seen this problem and is there a fix for it?

(dont say just run 1 card) :P

The same thing happens to me, and I don't have SLI. See if the flashing stops when you play AC in windowed mode. This problem will more than likely go away in Decal Alpha 8, when they integrate the new view system. I'm guessing that's not going to be released for at least a few months.

I hope windowed mode is the cure. I have 2 7600 GTs coming to replace my solo 6800 GT. I will stop playing AC before I downgrade the computer. lol

anti-alaising IS not the same as going from lowest to highest graphic setting!

I turned my Anti-Aliasing down to 4X to get the flashing to stop.

I have my AA set to 'application controlled' and I don't have any issues with decal and SLI.

Ok. Got both cards in yesterday and have been playing the last 2 days fine. I run 2 clients at 1600x1200 and both maxed out graphics wise. Haven't had any issues at all.

isn't there an Anti-Aliasing option INGAME that is separate from the "Application Controlled" setting on the card drivers themselves?

check the Graphics options inside of AC.

I tried it, went from the lowest settings possible, still blinking away like a mad thing.

Are the instructions somewhere on how to run 2 clients on the same box?

You have to get Drakier's client program to run 2 at the same time.

Mine was doing this with mouse trails enabled. For some reason that messed with the SLI.
