Asrock, Extreme7 Gen3, been using it now for a couple of months happily. Everything been running great on my CrossfireX rig using a single 1920 x 1200 panel. Then I get the idea to do an Eyefinity Rig. 3 x Dell U2412M monitors (very nice and 1920 x 1200), SIIG Tri-monitor stand, and I already have two EAH6970 graphics cards. Things are pretty decent, however I feel like I've been getting ever so slight a touch of lag...

The best example, Battlefield 3, 5760 x 1200, auto settings, I'm getting 15 to 50 FPS, averaging just over 30, but then the sudden drops to below 20 fps are killing it for me... I spoke to my AMD Guru who tells me I need to change out to an AMD motherboard and ditch Sandy Bridge LOL Bah to that, but I am thinking perhaps the NF200 chip is sucking...

So I threw hardware at the problem and got a third EAH6970 for tri-fire, sure enough the max FPS improved, but I'm still getting the sudden drops in FPS. Tri-fire seeing 15-70+ I disabled crossfirex, using one card and Eyefinity, interestingly I'd get less FPS but I wouldn't drop down to 15 fps. I'd see 20-30 the game was more stable (but FPS to low). As a test I start my rig using MSCONFIG and disabled everything but Microsoft stuff, not much difference in game play, but a slight performance increase.

All things being equal I'm starting to suspect the motherboard has issues. What the issues are, who knows? BIOS? Hardware?, NF200? Anyone think I just need tweaking of some sort?
