If its even possible, would having 3 cards in xfire/sli withi one monitor in each card make any kind of difference in a 3 way monitor setup. I tried an eyefinity setup on a 290x watercooled and it seemed choppy. I know i cant runn in 144hz as 2 of the 3 were 60hz monitors(working on 2 more monitors @144hz)
Am i seting up wrong or do i need 3 cards or even 2 cards
All three monitors need to be in the primary/top card
A 290x is going to have trouble pushing 1080p * 3 in any situation as that's near 4k performance, a game like Civilization though would be fine
or was your desktop choppy or something? Mixing 144hz and 60hz can be an issue unless you've set them all to run at 60hz at all times
When using crossfire everything needs to be hooked up to the main card
No just games
Well is every game choppy?
Not sure only tried dirty bomb and need for speed and they didnt feel as smooth as they could be . It might habe beeen the 144hz was down clocked to 60 or something.
I wanted to try more but i had it jerry rigged to hold up the 3rd mo itor and dogs bumped it and almost went flying so i stopped.
Ill hold off till i get 2 more 144hz pannels and a better amd card that ihas full cover blocks available and non refference design.
This was just a what the hell im home and nothing to do so ill try it out thing wasnt expecting mutch anyways.
you're triyng to render near 4k levels of performance with a single 290X, that's issue 1
Issue 2 would be if you had 2 displays set to 60hz and one display set to 144hz, set them all to 60 and see if that improves it, then run the games at the lowest possible settings
you especially couldn't run 1080 144hz * 3 on almost any GPU right now, the Titan XP is the first true 4k capable GPU out there and it's just past 60fps
