Hi everybody!
First post go easy on me... :shock:
i have a GTX 960 and a GTX 780ti, i need to connect 2 monitors and a cintiq to dough's video card...
right now i have my main monitor and my cintq to the GTX 960 and my second monitor to the GTX 780ti
the performance right now is pretty bad... i am only using the 980ti to render in C4D, the speed of the render is ok but the viewport movement is just stuck... i have to pause octane update all i need and unpause again to see the effects...
is there an optimal way to connect the monitors for better performance?

Which version? What kind of content causing low performance?
Ex. i'm working with two 780 and latest test release. Mostly it's very fast and responsive. But some kind of objects are causing refresh messages. And plugin can resend geometry and this causes some lags. But in latest test versions, i have changed the sending functions to avoid lags. So it can still refresh but not causes big lags. Also some kind of scenes which has lot of movable geometry, displacement, instances and unoptimised setups can cause low speeds.
For very big scenes i always disable the gpu which is connected to monitor. This allow to work with very smooth workflow.
