Dual Monitor HELL

I run CoH on a triple monitor dual video card system (non-sli)... CoH hates this...

Usually when I start the game it runs extremely poor, it does about 1-2 frames per second. But sometimes if I reboot, restart the game, or change graphic settings it fixes it and the game runs properly at the 60 FPS my system is capable of. It seems pretty random so far, I can't put my finger on what causes it to run properly or poorly. When I start the game there is a 50/50 chance of either. btw - I play in windowed mode, and I am on the most recent nvidia drivers.

I have about 25+ other 3D games on this computer and none of them have any problems with my system. I realize my details are pretty vague but I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with CoH + dual monitors (and/or dual video cards) and if theyve had any success at making it behave properly.... ?

Thanks in advance.

I currently dual-monitor, single vidcard.

I'm not experiencing any problems.

It's POSSIBLE that your driver isn't handling the division of labor between the two vidcards well.

The other thing that might be going on is that your PCI-E slots may be dropping back from 16x to 8x and 8x. Depends on your board.

Can you provide your CoH Helper and Hijack This logs?

Also, can you give us a basic run-down of the equipment in your system (if it's hand-built).

Also, this kind of question - Technical Issues - goes best in the "Technical issues and bugs" forum of the "Development" sub-forum.

Most of the people here (there are some exceptions) do better with questions about stuff in game.

Hyperstrikes request about the hijack this log is a good one to get and post (In the technical issues forum, there is a sticky titled something like "Help us Help you" - er, common solutions and posting guidelines I mean)
