Rise of the tomb raider is lagging like hell, I've got FX 8320 @4.6Ghz and 16GB DDR3 ram with 2 GTX 980 4GB SLI (reference MSI) running this on 3 1080P monitors, can anyone help me find a reason why this is happening?
 
ROTTR can be extremely demanding, especially in the Soviet Installation and Geothermal sections, it's also very hard on the CPU.
Suggestions:
Update all your drivers.
Update the game to it's latest patch.
Try switching to DX 12.

Either lower the settings or move to a single display, my setup (i7 6500+R9 Nano) hits a wall in the super demanding sections on a single 1080 monitor with FPS dropping to well under 60 FPS in Soviet Installation and Geothermal sections.

Drivers are uptodate, game is uptodate and its on DX12 when the setting are set to low it does fine but you know we need good graphics in our games? What's the best settings to use that we don't need like AA, would trying it with out DX12 and running on DX11 be a good idea? If not any orthwr suggestions besides upgrade?
