    Until you get some actual help, you can try to rotate between cards two at a time and see if anything is different.

    Watch_dogs,assassins creed: black flag, Farcry4 are the main ones games like BF4 i can play on ultra and get 200fps cap cause it is mainly cpu but i have put the cards in 1 by 1 tested the same ultra settings on watch_dogs and each GTX980 can get a stable 90fps solo i use 2way sli i get the 144+fps stable i then go 3way sli i get 30fps with 70fps spikes so even lower then a single GTX980 atm i been on the phone with EVGA and Nvidia none of the 2 can figure it out i went threw all of their troubleshooting hoops another issue i ran into is you cannot run 3 way sli useing 16/16/8 by useing slots 1/4/6 on the X99 classified even though my cpu is a 40 lane it will not detect that i have the sli bridge on the cards  =(( so i have to use 16/8/8 by useing slots 1/2/3

    Are you overclocking the cpu and memory? Try running them at stock.

    dotkom, I hope you get this figured out. This was the direction I was heading. Maybe I shouldn't?

    In a week or so I will but 4-Way. How are your benchmark score between 2-Way and 3-Way SLI.
    Is your Bios up to date and so on?
    Games as for as I believe will run different on even the same built computer with all the same hardware some good some not so good.

    Some Games run well under 2-Way SLI but not so good under 3-Way SLI, Only the Driver Will Tell.
