Hey, I recently bought a Dell XPS 700 with 2X 7590 GX2s in SLI I've been really happy with in game performance, but after playing, say Bio Shock (or any other 3D game) the desktop is vibrating. If I turn down the resolution it stops, if I log in and out it stops. It's stuck on 60 hertz. I have the latest drivers from Bio Shock (gives you Beta drivers on install) and it does it with all versions from Dell as well, in some cases much worse.
The monitor is a Samsung 245B, 24" wide. Thanks!

Your desktop is physically shaking?

JK, but to clarify, your talking about exiting the game, and the Windows desktop is vibrating? Is in it's shacking, moving, blurry. Can you give us a little more description?

Sorry, it's kind of hard to explain. It's vibrating, very quickly but not a great distance (one or 2 pixels). From some angles it just looks blurry, but when you get close you can see that it's actually vibrating/shaking. If I switch users or log off and on it doesn't seem to fix it, but restarting does (until I run a 3D app again.) 3D mark 2006 doesn't seem to affect it, strangely enough. Are the cards maybe just not meant to run @ that resolution?

Almost sounds to me like the graphics are switching from Progressive to Interlaced. Have you checked your graphics setting in the Nvidia control panel? Make sure your not using the "Treat Monitor as HDTV" option (or something called like that).
Other then that I'm not sure what else it could be.

I think it's a bug in the latest nvidia drivers. Anytime I right click on my desktop, it does it for a second, and sometimes it wil happen randomly. It only lasts for a second or two on mine though.

Thanks for the tips, I checked and I wasn't, and just for fun I tried turning it on. When it's on it is jittery all the time, so I can see that it would cause a problem. Turned it back off and it's back to the way it was, jitte after 3D.
