So im running triple monitors on a gtx 1080 trying to play games like r6 siege, ace combat, bf1. At first the performance was perfectly fine, but now I'm struggling to get more than 15fps. But if i play in single monitor and super sample to 4k (which is higher resolution then the triple monitor) the performance is just fine. It happened all of a sudden and I don't recall updating any drivers.

Maybe windows is being mean idk.

Here's the setup
4790k @ 4.8ghz
Zotac amp Gtx 1080
16gb Kingston HyperX FURY ddr3 1866mhz
Gigabyte z97x gaming 7
X3 sceptre e22 1080p monitors.

I'm not overclocked on the gpu, so honestly I don't know what's going on. The cpu is super stable, tested for roughly 80hrs of use and around 5hrs in aida64
Anyways plz help!
 
Something weird going on...

Does it do it in all games all the time?

tripple monitors is NOT tripple resolution, its not even double, not even half as much.
It is more of a FOV stretch than anything - it doesn't increase load much at all.
That said, you're getting terrible performance - but remove the increased resolution as a potential problem from your mind.

Something else is goning on here.

3 monitors in surround isn't much more demanding than one.

From what can tell Every game is doing this, only in triple monitor. I didn't see any significant load on anything either. so i don't know. Every game performs perfectly on single monitor. I'm not quite sure what it is either. I remember a while ago windows had an error that affected performance on windows 10 machines that were running multi monitors. So i may have just caught the windows bug =(. It used to work great, but not anymore.
