    Do you have Precision installed? If not, try that.
     
    Uninstall your drivers and then do a clean reinstall of them.
    Check Maniacvvv's guide

    Also, double check in Nivida Control Panels that you have your setup to Quad-Sli

    Well, in fairness, the post you linked has a user running in 2D surround, not one monitor as the OP.

    2 690's don't get bottlenecked by a 3770k?
     
    EVGA, I am dissapoint.
     
    Also, on a more helpful note, this is weird. Have you tried turning on monitoring in EVGA precision x to make sure the cards are kicking up? Because if they aren't maybe there is a setting messed up in nvidia control panel...

    I just got a second 690gtx and I had to plug the monitor in to the right port on card to get quad sli to work. It has to be port #2. You might have to try each one until you find the right one for quad sli. I have a Z77 FTW with cards in slot 2 and 4 with monitor cable in the card in slot 2 but in the DVI #2. Use the SLI configure at nvidia at the link I posted.

    What is this I am disappoint?   I see it almost everywhere these days.   Is it some kind of new internet fad? What does it mean?

    I had this same issue; you have your DVI cable plugged into the wrong port on your gpu. Once you do that, you'll be able to set it to quad sli.
     
    This is why you have low scores.

    Heaven scores look good but bf3 and crysis 2 look like single 690 performance.  Go into nvidia control panel and under power management change it to Max performance.

    Ok where is the power options in Nvidia control panel?
     
    I have quad SLI and 3+1 monitor surround but Dues Ex is only getting around 19 FPS and my cards are not clocking over 324mhz, any reason?  Is there a way to just shut off the down clocking?  They are watercooled I'm not too worried about temps.
     
    Cheers,

    evga precision has a new k boost feature that might work. it locks the gpu clocks but does nothing to the usage i think i have not tried it out on quad sli yet

    mb asus rampage IV
    cpu 3930k
    4 x 4 gb Tridentx G Skill
    2 x 128 gb ocz vertex RAID 0
