Multiple monitors and muliple video cards.

I posted on here a few weeks ago asking if anyone knew if I would have any issues running multiple copies of wow with two different video adapaters: Multiple vid cards in on one motherboard? ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=12047')

Well, I bought a motherboard with two pci-e slots and a second 8800GT video card, and using maximizer to choose which instance ID, my performance has dropped a ton. I am running 4 wows on 1 video card, and 1 wow on the second. The frames per second and responsiveness of the game windows are really, really bad. I used to get 60fps on my primary window, and 15fps on each of the other 4 windows (using maxfps commands) with 1 video card and dual monitors.

Now with two video cards I am getting like 12fps on each of the 5 windows. I was hoping to increase the maxfpsbk frame rate of the other 4 windows so they don't look so choppy, and turn up the graphics settings on the primary window so it looks prettier.

Edit: I installed nVidia system tools so I can monitor GPU temps. Only 1 GPU is being utlized, even though im running the game on different monitors.
