Thank you for responding. Is there a VBIOS available that would work for just a single 2080TI card then? If I remove one?

Here's the issue:
Alienware Aurora R11 with two RTX 2080 Ti in SLI VC. Normally I don't have any issues updating Nvidia drivers through the Geforce program which bypasses the need for any Dell Drivers. However, if I try to update using the Nvidia drivers past 456.38, for example, to the latest version available 460.89, after the PC has been restarted (post driver installation) and comes past the BIOS screen the monitor will just power cycle on/off automatically. Like the PC is asleep and you press a key or mouse button and wake the screen up...except nothing is display but a black screen. The power cycle will continue on/off until you power down the system manually via the power button. In order to correct the issue you have to boot the system in safe mode....uninstall the Nvidia driver...and then install the Dell Nvidia Driver 27.21.14.5167, A0017 Aug 2020 (This is the only driver offered from Dell and the one that must be reverted back to in order to correct the issue. Any driver prior to the 456.38 directly from Nvidia works..but any after don't). Afterward, the monitor returns to normal operation. I have connected different brands of monitors and this issue happens to all LG, Samsung, Viewsonic. I have contacted Nvidia support who simply say they can't reproduce the issue so it's a monitor issue...but I don't believe that since it happens with multiple different brands. I have completely removed the driver using the recommended GPU driver removing tools and reinstalled it from scratch...which still doesn't help. So, my question is has anyone else experienced this with the R11 and if so is there a solution that actually corrects the problem? What would you recommend as my next step?
What are the issues updating the drivers? Have you tried using GeForce Experience to do the updates? -- Sometimes that can solve OEM issues
