You may be running out of vram. Monitor the vram usage in game and keep it below the amount of vram on your 8800's.

here's a GPU-Z log while playing (for one of the graphics cards not both as i don't know how to do that.)

98 degrees C - that's VERY hot for an 8800, methinks.

Wow. Your GPU temperature is 98C! You need more cooling . vram usage looks fine.

Yeah as expected after viewing that myself i thought so too. It's probably because of it being on a chair (i have game cases under the feet to allow airflow under the laptop but i will try it on my desk and tell you if it makes any difference, if it doesn't I will blow my laptop out with compressed air and try again, thanks for helping me guys will get back to you in a few minutes when i move things around :) )

Since I bought my GTX580, a few months ago, only one time did it reach 97C (max card temp limit) and the screen froze.

Can you guess in which game? It was Oblivion: Nehrim mod

I was shopping at a merchant and took my eyes off the on-screen gpu temp.

Something about the oblivion engine causes nvidia cards to work extremely hard and overheat.

I would display gpu temperature on-screen while playing oblivion in 3D.
In your latest gpu-z attachment, it looks like your temps were still climbing and reached 87C when you shut down Oblivion.

I use MSI afterburner to show on-screen stats while gaming.

In afterburner, click on
settings -> Monitoring -> GPU temperature -> Show in On-Screen Display
ok

Not necessarily: I play Oblivion in 3D (with max setting and AAx8) almost everyday with 2 GTX285 in SLI, and the temp of each card never exceed 75°C (my tower case is a Coolermaster Sniper, without watercooling).

Are you guys also noticing a problem with the shadows in this game. It's like they flicker, or better yet, the left eye and right eye are seeing a slightly different position shadow. That makes them not quite line up and gives the outer edges a flicker effect. If I turn up the convergence, it seems to help, but not completely fix the problem. And distant shadows always seem to have this problem reguardless.

I'm running a GTX580 with the latest version of Oblivion, Windows 7 32bit, and the latest Nvidia WHQL drivers. I can turn shadows off, but with them on it makes the immersion better.
