Yeah, 680's don't scale well right now in SLI. We are only on the launch driver though, so I'm sure there is a lot of tweaking for nvidia to do.

It wasn't DOA but it did require replacement. Anywho, that's besides the point. I had to replace the mobo because I got a short on the USB bus which messed it up enough to cause complete instability. This was caused by my case not allowing the io rear panel to sit properly and that caused improper grounding. Thanks a lot NZXT Phantom :mad:.
