Three display setup performance

So do you have two GPU's in your setup? Which cards do you have and which settings do you lower to get a smooth fps and how is the fps on those settings (over london, over countryside, over channel etc).

Yes realtime video.

I have 4 GPUs - 3GB GTX580's
The game is heavily dependant on CPU even at such high resolution as it has a lot more objects to calculate rendering for. Remember the GPU can only fill the screen as fast as the CPU can calculate the co-ordinates for the objects.

Thats why one of my CPU cores goes to 100% and the GPU's only from 70-80%.
The lower the load on the CPU generally the higher the GPU usage and FPS from what Ive noticed with the game.

I have to drop tree's and buildings to minimum, SSAO off and textures to high and turn anti-aliasing off. I get average of 30FPS over london but it can drop to the low 20's.
