Does anyone get increased GPU load with a third monitor attached? Is this normal?
 
The attached screencap is at idle. Without the third monitor attached (DVI-I), temps idle around 35C with the new zero fan speed firmware.
 
I thought it may be a bug, so I reinstalled the driver, but the high idle still persists. I unplugged the third monitor and idle speeds went back to normal.

    You can use the "multi display power saver" tool from the nvidia inspector software to force your card to stay in P8 state. I use this for my surround setup and it works perfectly.
