Hello
I am trying to play Sleeping Dogs in high graphics, i have previously been able to do this, and now when i play in high graphics i get this: see image below:

When i lower to medium graphics it works fine. I have played on high before.

I have 2 Nvidia GTX 560Ti in SLI.

Is there a way to see if one of my cards is failing?

Is your graphics card driver up to date? If so, take 1 card out and fire up the game. Turn the settings wide open, and play a little bit, taking note of any performance issues. Take that card out and install the other card and repeat. If both seem to run the game at max settings, you should be ok. Mind you, it's not a scientific test, but if a card is going out, that will probably let you know. Check for a driver update first.

This could be a problem with the driver or the game itself. If you have it downloaded from Steam then Validate Data Integrity.

I would also try to uninstall the driver and reinstall the latest version if that doesn't work.
