Do you get the same effect if you turn SLI off?

If not, try re-seating the SLI bridge.
Try changing the SLI rendering mode.
Make sure you have v-sync on.

When I turn the Sli off the stuttering goes away, performance drops but the video is smooth as silk. I've tried all the SLI rendering modes i have available to me (On, Frame render 1, Frame render 2) and still the same problem. no setting is better then the other. And to top it all off when v-sync is on it still stutters.

Thank you so much for your advice, I'll check the bridge. I actually have a question about that. There are two places i can plug the Sli bridge into adn both are right next to eachother. My bridge is in the left plugs right now, should i change it to the right? would that change it at all?

Have you tried an different driver versions. Some are definitely better than others when it comes to multi card setups.

I'll def try that, so far the only drivers I have are the most recent drivers and sli updates from Nvidia and EVGA. What drivers versions work the best?
