Title:
  Enabling SLI on NVIDIA "tested" drivers causes 14.04 artifacts and
  freeze of desktop environment forcing manual system reset.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  If SLI is enabled, there are many flickering artifacts and double
  images (especially tooltips). Eventually, the desktop environment
  locks up completely and the computer needs a forced manual reset. I
  needed to disable SLI as soon as possible and restart in order to get
  out of the constant freezing and artifacts.

  This issue was not present in 12.04 but became immediately present the
  first time using 14.04 on the same computer. I know my hardware is not
  the problem because my video cards work perfectly fine in Windows 8.
  Bug report and logs below are taken from when SLI is disabled.

  WORKAROUND: Disable SLI.
