You are forgetting to add "when it works".

My current triplefire fails misirably in Skyrim and New vegas, when according to afterburner the gpu 3 is just sleeping, and gpu's 1 and 2 are going all over the place from 0% usage ( on both) to 70% usage on both, each location seems to trigger something in the driver that begins this crazy cycle.

Offtopic: Oh and I get artifacts on the screen sometimes in skyrim, thought that might be the issue with the overclock -> but nope, same on default settings.
I saw similar problem in Heaven, when you get the dragon flight-around during sunset, break texture lines, both on OC and default. Strange problem is -> doesnt happen in 3dmark 2011 on any settings, doesnt happen in BF3/Metro 2033/ Crysis 2 on any settings. Granted I didn't do a clean install of windows after my nvidia cards....cause I'm lazzy, and that might be the case, but still annyoing.

Hey atleast you have a possible solution to your issue at hand. 3 of my systems with Nvidia cards have the annoying WMC reset/refresh/freeze issue and in 3D phase a 1-2second refresh. You ever try playing a MMO PvP or a Multiplayer FPS and have the screen reset on you for 2 seconds out of nowhere. The only semi-cure is reverting back to 27x.xx series drivers but that fixes the WMC issue and the 3D phase refresh isnt as frequent.
