Hi,
So I recently purchased a LG 4k monitor to add to my setup. My previous monitor configuration was with 1x LG monitor operating at 1920 x 1080, 1x Apple Cinema Display operating at 1680 x 1050, and a Asus Display operating at 2560 x 1440. All of this is being driven by a single Gigabyte GTX 960. In this configuration my old setup ran great and I had no issues what so ever.
When I received my new 4k monitor I decided to replace my Apple display leaving my with the new configuration of 1x LG monitor operating at 1920 x 1080, 1x LG 4k monitor running at 3840 x 2160 (scaled to 2560 x 1440), and a Asus Display operating at 2560 x 1440. All of this still being driven by a single Gigabyte GTX 960. In this configuration my system had noticeable lag and slow UI functionality, and even when watching videos or movies my system would output about 25fps, leaving for dropped frames and a very unsatisfied user.
So being a hardware guy I natural thought that my single GTX 960 was just no match so I went ahed and ordered another to run in SLI to improve performance. For the most part the addition of the second card fixed my issues with playing back movies or watching youtube videos but I still am having a ungodly amount of UI lag and stuttering, mostly when moving windows around, switching desktops, or launching mission control. It has left me with spending a extra $200 for a system that still refuses to work.
So is there something I am missing here? Has anyone else had the same issue? I could really use some expert advise on this one. Thanks!
P.s. I run Mac OS 10.10.5 on my x99 build with a Intel Core i7- 5620K on a Asus Rampage V with 16 GB of DDR4 Ram and the OS is on a Samsung SSD.
Thanks!
