Hi i am having problems with a stalker clear sky and i was wondering if anyone could help, or maybe give me a forum that would help because i have searched and found nothing. well the problem is the game flashes a slight purple color constantly in intervals of miliseconds (dont know the exact number) and well i wanted to see if anyone had the same problem or if anyone knew about it and maybe can help me with it. I thought it might be my video card so i decided to FRAPS it to see if it shows anything and when i looked at the video it couldn't be anymore clear. So Help PLZ!!!

my first thought is SLI. I would try it with just one of your vid cards. then try it with the other one. see if either (or both) will cause the same purple flashing. if they both do it, you can probably look elsewhere. If neither does it by itself, it could be something with the mobo drivers and SLI.
is it just STALKER where this happens, or can you see it in other games, 3dmark, etc.?
is your monitor LCD or CRT?

well i can see it in only 1 other game TF2 umm but every other game seem fine, ill try updating the mother board drivers to see if that helps and i was using a 19inch LCD but i switched back to my 24 inch and it seemed to help a little.
