I'm trying to get the absolute best gaming performance out of my triple monitor setup. My first setup was 3 22'' monitors all connected to a single GTX 760 4GB video card. It ran alright, but in my most frequently played games it lagged a bit and halved my framerates. My current setup is the same three monitors, but running on a dual GTX 970 4GB SLI configuration. It runs great on almost all games, but the two most frequently played games (AC: Unity and FFXIV) are both having SLI issues and one is still lagging in certain area's (this is specific to FFXIV). I'm running 16GB of RAM, an i7-3770k overclocked to 4.4GHz, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler in a push/pull configuration, 7 case fans, 1000w PSU, and game is running from a 256GB SSD drive.
I'm now considering adding a third video card and instead of running SLI I would run each monitor from it's own dedicated graphics card. There are expenses involved in this addition that I am prepared for, I'm just tired of having a system that falls on it's face while on paper it should easily run AC and FFXIV at maximum graphics. I don't run anything in the background and keep my running processes to the absolute minimum.
