Hi guys. First forum post. Question. I'm having a bit of a problem getting decent frame rates with multiple clients.

I have

A 22" AOC 1920x1080 monitor plugged into my video card using an HDMI cable
a 19" acer 1600x900 monitor plugged into my video card using a DVI cable
and a very large proscan TV that isnt HD plugged into my motherboard.

I normally play eve on my 22" HD and then use my side 19" for my other client. My problem is that i'm really running into framerate dips even if i use a very small client window on my side monitor. I use a 770 video card which i would think would be perfectly capable of running two clients at once. I'm also running EVE on a SSD.

Does that sound unusual to anyone else? Am i missing something here or is a 770 just not enough to run a full 1080 client and a smaller client?

*edit again*
Okay i've figured out how to get two clients running on separate screens in fixed windowed mode, i simple adjusted the display adapter to 770 2 and that was monitor two. However i'm still getting frame rate issues and now i have another problem. If i launch EVE i'll get a client with one or the others settings. Is there a way to have two clients with individual settings without having multiple eve folders?
