Dual monitor setup question

[ulpian]

Hello everyone,

Recently I upgraded my monitors to 2 Achieva ShiMian 27" monitor, excellent screen! Currently I'm using a pair of GTX 560Ti 448 core in SLI. I see severe FPS drop in some games. If I upgrade one of the video card to Gigabyte GTX 680 or Gigabyte Radeon HD7970 for the primary display and a old GTX 560 for the secondary display, in non-SLI setup. Will I see improvement on gaming? Any other suggestion for my saturation? By the way, I only have enough money for 1 video card upgrade, so SLI a pair of gtx680 or HD7970 is out of the question.

Before you go spending...

Could you enter your system information into the space for that in your User CP then enable viewing of it? Or could you make a detailed signature listing all of your parts? This will help others answer this and future questions, and you only need to do it once. As an example of the level of detail we need, you can click on my system dropdown or look at some of the other signatures you see here. Thanks.

First time on this forum, I just enter my spec in the userCP.

Right now I'm playing The Secret World, and some TERA.

The Secret world frame rate range from 45 to just 7.

Well then, Welcome

Not familiar with those games...What driver version are you running at present ?

304.79 - BETA
It is the latest beta nvidia driver, the reason using it because it support SLI in The Secret World.

BTW, I was using a 24" 1280X1024 and a 19" 1024 x 768 screen, and have no problem running the game and watch netflix at the same time.
