I am not sure if I should post here or in the video card section but we go. Is it possible to overclock your video cards when they are in SLI configuration? The reason I ask is when I enabled SLI I lost the option to set the card frequency in the properties section of the video card display.

Yes you can OC with SLI just get something like RivaTuner or PowerStrip

And make sure you have the latest Forcware drivers and don't be shy on the betas, I'm installing 77.13 as we speak

After installing riva tuner my settings for clock frequency are now back in the display properties menu. Don't know why but they are.

I would prefer RivaRuner because it has lot more settings to play around, but make sure you know what you'r doing (PowerStrip is also awsome, good for noob's).

That's because you'r OC'ing through your drivers and when you OC with RivaTuner, Forcware automatically detects and displays new clocks.

P.S. Let me know how the OC'ing goes

Off topic, but you should think about flashing your boards BIOS to 5/13-3 because they are great with TCCD's/G-Skills LE's I want some

I have a pair of eVGA 6800GTs in SLI right now (not OC'd yet). I notice on my games and the 3DMark benches, there is a fair amount of flashing textures. I assume upping the voltage on the PCI-Ex would resolve the issue, but I can't seem to find out where the settings are located in BIOS. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

I had to update my drivers to get rid of the SLI problems. I would try that first.
