It seems i am cursed to no matter how much money i spend on good components always have issues that no one else can figure out or has even heard of.  Computers just seem to hate me and there seems to be no other reason why this always fail.

You can't just make a post like this and not explain what happened.

Everything, it is pointless to try and explain as i have already tried every avenue of help, 3 way sli won't work when it has absolutly no reason not to and an identical setup that somone else has works fine..... my 120hz monitors that i spent tons on will only run at 60hz because nvidia control panel says so, for any form of sli to work all of my monitors have to be on 1 card which may mean i can't even drive 120hz for 3 monitors on 1 card so yay. I swear i could spend a million dollars on a pc and it would have some stupid issues.

I've had some bad issues with tech as well. But that doesn't mean you can't ask for help.  Odds are we can help you troubleshoot your issue, and most likely find a fix.

so do you have all the drivers up to date

yep, and i have used ddu to reinstall them about 25 times now.... the 3 way sli appears right after install but then does not work and the switches back to only 2 way, it never actually enables 3 way

This is also true. Very few games can utilize that many cards very well. One exception I know of is BF4

Really stupid question, but do you have all 3 cards connected by an sli bridge? I've seen people make that mistake before so I gotta ask.

for any form of sli to work all of my monitors have to be on 1 card which may mean i can't even drive 120hz for 3 monitors on 1 card so yay.

That's how its supposed to work. 1 card does the outputs while the other 2 will become "slaves" so to speak, helping to display the 3 monitors.

yes it is an ROG 3 way bridge. it is not a matter of using it well it completely ignors it as seen in the nvidia control

Odd as most of the guides show you to connect monitors to different parts of the different gpus.... i really do not care about whare i connect them as long as it works
