If you can run the same video card in your old configuration and get 60fps but with the new configuration you get 12fps, then it's something that changed with the new configuration. Start eliminating variables.


Some things to try:
  • KNOWN BAD: 2 monitors + 2 cards + SLI (don't need to retry this, just listing for completeness)
  • 2 monitors + 2 cards WITHOUT SLI
  • 2 monitors + 1 card (extend desktop to second monitor)
  • 1 monitor + 1 card
  • Same configurations as above but just running 5 wows instead of using ISBoxer.

Eventually you should get the variables narrowed down and figure out which part is causing the performance degradation.
I'll try this next.

Where I'm currently getting the best results is probably wrong in how I have it configured. I am using the SLI bridge and have the two cards hooked together. I have read that SLI doesn't work with WOW anyway, so this is I am sure wrong.

However, when I disconnected the bridge, took one of the monitor cables and connected it to video card 1, took the other monitor cable and connected it to video card 2, that's when the FPS went from the normal 60fps in most cases (except around fire, lots of trees and in Dalaran when lots of people are present) to a mere 12-16fps. So that obviously wasn't a good thing to do, however I may not have done that correctly. I still have a lot to experiment with to make it better.
