At 1080p, ONE GTX780 should get more frames than that. Heck I get more frames than that with my 780 at 2560x1440.

What drivers are you using? Did you do a driver sweep prior to install?

Make sure you've installed SLI cable and temps aren't going too high and that your PSU is quality and sufficient power.

Check 6+8pin on GPU please if it is connected all the way in, these 700 series do not beep if it is not connected the right way.

Atleast my two GPUs don't.
