Hardware issues multiboxing 16 clients with 5960X, 980 x3 sli

First off thank you for the swift reply, I always learn something! I've read through much of the documentation and many of your videos and sometimes I just get stuck.

I don't think any good can come from touching anything in the nVidia Control Panel unless you're attempting to increase image quality.

One setting worth tweaking recommended by EVGA is "power management mode" setting it to maximum makes the video cards work to their highest performance. It helped with spike fps needs as the cards are working at top performance all the time.

• While your Control Panel indicates you have SLI enabled, the monitoring program shows that you do not since only one GPU has any load on it. This is either a problem with the monitoring program, or... you don't actually have SLI enabled.

I called EVGA and asked them about why no "load" data is showing on the 2 other cards they said do the 3dmark test and if there is an improvement in the score then sli is working and something is wrong with the monitoring program. That said on all monitoring programs this is the case load doesn't show for 2 other cards. I have done tests with sli enabled/disabled and disabled my computer can't handle 15 clients with it enabled it is possible.

In addition to that, you can also drop your resolution since you're trying to play all of them at practically 1920x1080, which is suggested in the Wiki page you linked:

I don't quite understand what to tweak so the other wow windows will render at smaller resolution. I thought even though u have small windows in the layout they will still render at 1920x1080. Is this something i tweak in isboxer or in wow client?

You are right about that. I always have that set through nVidia Inspector, and rarely think of it these days.

I called EVGA and asked them about why no "load" data is showing on the 2 other cards they said do the 3dmark test and if there is an improvement in the score then sli is working and something is wrong with the monitoring program.

I don't think the issue warranted a phone call, and I assumed you would just try another monitoring program—Like HWiNFO, MSI Afterburner, or GPU-Z. I find it odd that they're not reporting load on the other GPUs when I've used all three of those programs with my SLI setup and everything reports correctly. It could be something with your driver or GPU. /shrug

However, you didn't mention anything about moving from DX11 to DX9.

Almost all of the time, whatever size Region 1 is set to, will be the size that every region renders at. If you want to lower the resolution of every game client, then drop the size of Region 1 in your Window Layout to something smaller than what you've got. You're currently using a non-standard resolution, so I'd suggest just creating a new layout using the Wizard and setting the Main Window Size to something smaller—like 1600x900—in order to keep the correct aspect ratio.
