BF4 ultra setting 100% scale (no ssaa)
680 x1 is out performing 680 x2 n 680 x3 w/ better average frame rate and better minimum frame rate.


uploaded a hd video from nvidia shadow play. (video says a million words)
this is 680 x3 at 1920x1080 = 46.5 fps (21.5 ms)

this is 680 x2 at 1920x1080 = 49.7 fps (20.1 ms)

this is 680 x1 at 1920x1080 = 52.6 fps (19.0 ms)

hardware rule out.
i7-3770k to i3-2130 - no joy
asus p8z77ws to asrock z77 ext4 - no joy
8gb x2 crucial to 4gb x2 gskillz - no joy
evga 680 4gb to dell/pny 680 2gb - no joy
software rule out.
fresh reinstall win8.1 and bf4 - no joy
either: BF4 simply is broken? or NVidia SLI profile is broken? (thinking it is the latter)
