Please help with monitor install?

Hey guys I got a system with duel gtx780's and 2 Benq 120hz monitors that I can't get setup correctly. One screen is used for PC gaming and normal PC use, and the other for PC use and console gaming. I was unaware that you could not run 120hz through HDMI so am using Duel Link Dvi which I'm assuming is cause windows to see it as a Generic device. The monitors are both the same model series just different sizes. The one for console gaming (which 120hz doesn't matter as much) is using HDMI and shows in windows properly, has a max 60hz, and uses a newer Benq driver. The PC game screen uses an old Windows driver but does give the 120hz option, just wondering if it's working right.

Also with SLI should I let windows use my second card for PhysX, or use my CPU/mobo for that? Also which way would be best to setup this system cabling wise?

No, you can't run an 120Htz monitor thru HDMI as of this writing. Probably the next generation of HDMI you will be able to. As long as your principal monitor is operating at 120HTz then you're good to go. With a rig like that (I'm drooling) you better start playing Battlefield 4 and soon!

Yes it is running 120hz but using a generic Windows driver from 2006 which is why I'm a little alarmed. Would display port be a better option?

I do have BF4 but as of now I've been spending more time working on tweaking the system. I've got it running 4.3 (8hrs Prime stable) @ 1.85v. I've been trying 4.4 up to 2.15v but it only lasts a couple mins in Prime. Temps are great Easy tune is not showing the CPU get over 54deg with system temps in the low 30's. The CPU is actually running around 25deg idle so she's nice and cool.
