New build PC has screen corruption, any ideas?

I've just built a new PC based on NickN's guide (or as much of it as I can).

 

I have the following setup:-

 

i5 3.4 ghz

16GB RAM

C: = 128GB SSD for OS

D: = 500GB SSD (Samsung 840 EVO) for FSX

Gigabyte GTX 750Ti 2GB GPU

3 x 23" IPS Monitors running Nvidia Surround 5760 x 1024 x 32 RES

 

Software wise, I have the following

 

Win7 x64

FSX + SP2

PMDG737-800

UK2000 UK Airfields

ORBX - Global Base

ORBX - Global Vector

ORBX - OpenLC Europe

 

All NickN's tweaks carried out... including Nvidia Inspector

 

I am getting around 20-25 FPS but I am getting screen corruption. Is 25 FPS good for this spec PC?

 

The left and middle screen are fine but the right hand screen is getting some corruption. It comes and goes but doesn't go completely. Here are a couple of screens shots of the right hand screen:-

With Corruption - http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/mdavenport555/IMG_0924.jpg

With More Corruption - http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/mdavenport555/IMG_0915.jpg

 

Any ideas to what is causing this as I am a bit stuck?

 

Thanks

Would you expect to see the corruption under windows and not just FSX then?

 

One other thought is, could it be that this monitor is using DP and the others are using HDMI? Would I be better to connect the 3rd screen to the spare DVI and setup a new surround?

Mark, unrelated question, why is part of the images black. Does fsx only fill the top-left of the monitor? Or is the black just a background in photobucket? (thinking of buying monitor, wondered about that image.)

thanks in advance, il88pp.

FSX fills the screen. The black u see is underneath the monitor. My sim is in the loft and the lights were out.

Corruption in Windows would I think depend on just how much data is being displayed at the time.

 

I am not sure about using the DVI, but worth a shot. I still think though, based on the info on the Gigabyte site the screen resolution is too high. According to TomsHardware the only single card that will drive three monitors at your resolution is http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HSY1RVC/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00HSY1RVC&linkCode=as2&tag=amzon0c-20. Other than that you are looking at dual cards in SLI mode.

I've swapped the DP with a DVI cable and the problem 'appears' to have gone away.

 

I've also managed to connect the 4th port (the new spare DP) to a 4th monitor that I can put the 2D main panel on this. All seems to work fine at the moment... fingers crossed..

 

Still getting around 25 FPS in VC with Trackir running - is this good?
