EDIT: So I booted it up and yeah, it has poor scaling in 2+1 config. Try changing your outputs to have all monitors on one card while running surround, it will probably work. BUT a lot of games don't seem to like that config - Mad Max and battlefield 4 for example, produce artifacting. A few games like to crash (although with the current state of drivers, who knows). But the normal guidelines are to run 2+1 when you have Sli.


well, I did try to put all three displays on one gpu, but with the 780 series do not have a way to get two DVI, plus one HDMI to work. i would need a way to plug into displayport, and that isnt an option Since I don't have a way to connect it to displayport.

i just finished chatting with nvidia live chat tech support, and after much very basic "troubleshooting," I was told that they would continue to investigate the problem and contact me via email. They will supposedly be escalating this to Level 2 support if they are unable to find any solutions. I was told this before when I called NV's Customer Care number, and to me it sounds like Level 2 support, and of course even their Software Developers, did not even so much a heard a little bit about this issue.

this helps a bit and actualy it seems rather playable on 4k surround and 4x times x, but there is some nasty jumping back and forth.. ahrd to expalin... but still much better performance with SLI even on single screen

I have been putting off playing this game because the performance in Surround has been in the toilet.

I nearly gave up but wanted to play today and did some searching around and found this thread. Glad you posted this, Ascendance.

I've got a club 3d active adapter on the way which hopefully fixes the issue and I see Nvidia is finally taking ownership of the issue and has a fix in the pipeline for a future driver release. I just can't wait.

I'm going to try Helifax's fix and see if that addresses the issue which I think it will.

I havent heard anything from nVidia in about 2 weeks or so. I just hope NV finally fixes it in the upcoming driver release. I dont have 100 bucks to spend on an active adapter to get all three displays on one GPU, so Im waiting till then.

Doesn't say anything about it in the release notes so yeah... probably not fixed yet.

My 780gtx's have 2x DVI, 1x HDMI, and 1x Display port. Yours don't, Ascendance?

"[...]but with the 780 series do not have a way to get two DVI, plus one HDMI to work. i would need a way to plug into displayport, and that isnt an option Since I don't have a way to connect it to displayport. "

I've had 3 monitors plugged in to my 2x DVI and 1x HDMI on my first card and obviously that didn't help but with Helifax's solution using the Display port and an active adapter my framerate has nearly doubled.
