I would swing those monitors into portrait configuration and use them at native resolution. Your card is about the same as my old GTX 680, and even though I was using two of them I believe it should work as well as what you have now. So, unless you are saying the monitors all have different resolutions it should be better for you. You do not have to run at native resolution they just need to running at the same resolution, but if one monitor has a different aspect ratio then it will be a problem.

Portrait mode. Something closer to 3240 x 1920. What you have now is landscape. Portrait mode *should* give you better performance.

There must be a typo somewhere, my calculations show that a single monitor runs at 1920 x 1963 in your system which means the screens were totally square instead of 16/9 rectangular.

Yes, of course this is the orientation I am talking about:



Most monitors don't come with the ability to pivot like that, so you may have to make accommodations. You don't have to actually do the pivot to test it though. Just use the Nvidia Control Panel to rotate the display (which can get frustrating) in software and run the benchmark. If you get better results then you can decide from there.

I had planned for this when I designed my desk (4' x 7') and so I then just created a bookshelf to suit the situation (and with allowances for rack mount audio equipment and stereo tuner).



From there it is just a matter of finding VESA mounts that can pivot and you can even change orientation on the fly.

So wait... having 3 different sized monitors takes away more performance than having 3 equal size monitors?

The odd resolution Lawndart is reporting is probably because of bezel correction. If the monitors are not the same model they may not support similar resolutions and may suffer from the synch polarity issue. There is a way to force your way past the issue by forcing the same driver onto all three monitors, but it's a hack and not supported for that reason.

Landscape Surround modes create aspect ratios that are higher than the standard single screen ratios, while portrait modes more closely approach standard modes. This is one reason why in some games (AH for example) that setting the aspect ratio even ideally will result in stretching of the rendered scene. This is a known problem with surround and you can verify these facts by reading the Nvidia Whitepaper on Surround Best Practices.

That is why I recommend sticking closer to standard aspect ratios. It is not going to be a miracle cure, but it should offer some small percentage improvement.

Thought my score of 1110 was low , so i saw that amd released new drivers 15.7 sometime in the last week or so, and tried them. So far so good . They also enabled VSR for a bunch of different series cards. Might be worth checking out if you have an amd card

I know this thread is old but so is my current system. And it gives me a good comparison.  This is what I play AH3 with right now.
That's actually windows 10.

Gone from the game. Please see Spikes or Nefarious for any Ahevents.net admin needs.

Kanth, I have had the same processor running at 3.8 GHz for a year or so now. The temperature stays low, below 50 celsius/120 F. The only thing I did was to raise the bus speed to 400. I'm not quite sure about the motherboard automatically raising the voltage though, it's currently 1.6 V. At this point I don't care about longevity, if it dies prematurely a new one costs next to nothing.

Hot-hardware was running 4.3 Ghz on air with a 1.336 Vcore so i would think it has too much Vcore in it .  Have you tried to bump it up anymore ? Your already running alot of vcore , might as well hehe.
