I rencenty bought a second 12mb stb voodoo2 to sli with my current card . After getting sli working I noticed some problems when running full screen . Just to be sure i tested the new card by itself and it did it , while my other card did not . The amount of memory is reported correctly .

I assume this means the card has issues and I need to return it . Just want to check to see if i may have missed something .

in game unreal gold .Looks the same sli or with just the new card . a lot of the textures are goofy and some look really bad .

it dose this some times during the unreal menu in sli or with the new card itself .

Try cleaning the contacts. If that doesn't work, return it.

I cleaned them with a pencil eraser already . Did not change anything . Should I try something more abrasive like metal polish ?

Try using rubbing alcohol.

I tried didn't seem to help . While looking at the card closely it looks like some surface mount components are missing . Back it goes . Thanks for the suggestions .
