    You won't find a game out there that can stress a pair of GTX 680 SC.

    As was stated, you really won't find a game that will stress a pair of 680s right now. I have a single 680 pushing four monitors. The lowest settings I have had to use in any game in surround resolution is high(BF3 and others). The 680s and 7970s are both simply absurd compared to the current selection of games. Those two cards will give you 5 years of ultra single monitor at least.

    Running a GTX680 on a 1920*1080 pixels resolution monitor. So far, ArmA II on maximum settings in 'graphical heavy' area's will make the FPS drop below 30. I mainly think that's an issue with the ArmA engine. Nevertheless, it does stress the card..

    I don't buy into the whole "Card XYZ is so powerful, nothing can stop it!" propaganda myself. Metro 2033 can't be run by those cards on max settings either.

    my old gtx285 is still running most games on at least high if not ultra settings, 2 680's aren't going to be stressed on anything =p

    regarding the other questions about configuring them, i can't help, but i'd be interested to know the answers, as i've got no idea how to configure mine =p
