Lag after connecting more than 3 screens

I have six 1080p ASUS gaming screens, and some crazy system latency when I plug more than two or three in at once.

I use to run this same configuration on two EVGA 760's in SLI and a touch screen making 7 screens. I had similar latency with those cards.

Sense upgrading to two 1080's in SLI almost nothing has improved other than the frame rate.

 

I did a fresh install the other day and even with nothing installed but the video drivers I get the exact same problem.

I run high quality DisplayPort cables for every screen.

I have tried no SLI, single bridge SLI, and duel bridge SLI. Nothing changes.

 

My system OS runs on duel SSD's in RAID 0.

I don't play any games that span more than 1 screen. Mostly just work stuff and six EVE Online clients. One on each screen.

 

Here is my setup.

Oh no not EVE... My friend lost like 2 years of his life and many of his other friends due to that game lol. Not to mention the crazy amount of real world money people dump into that...

 

My only guess is the fact you have EVE open 6 times. What are you in-game settings for each?

It's all the time lag. I just reinstalled windows fresh the other day along with the gfx drivers and it was the same problem. :/

 

In regards to your friend. He must have been deep into the PvP stuff, that takes a lot of time. I run industry mostly and only log in once every few days for only a few hours if that. :D

That shelf makes me so nervous lol.

 

As your problem, are your monitors set for fast response?

 

I know with my gaming monitor, I need to set it to fast response to capitalize on the low response time.

 

Or do you mean overall system lag? Can you explain the problem more?

 

Thanks!
