Multiple cards and multiple monitors

Hi,

I know there are numerous posts about this but after reading them I'm still somewhat confused about how to get this working to it's best capability. I am running 6 EQ2 clients but the fps on the main screen is terrible at times. So after some research I think it's best that I split the clients across multiple screens and un-crossfire my cards. So here is the system.

AMD FX-8150 Eight Core Processor - oc at 4.4GHz
2 x Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7870 Graphics Card (2GB GDDR5)
32GB (4x8) Kingston 1600MHz DDR3 HyperX Blu Memory

I think the best way to get max performance out of this is to split the 6 EQ2 clients over 2 cards and output to 2 monitors, yes? However I'm not actually sure exactly how to do this and would appreciate any help before I break what I have.

Cheers,
Sam

For the record, I gave up trying to make this work.
 
Wouldn't the solution to this be as simple as disabling cross-fire (or sli),
then in ISBoxer Suite set certian windows to stay on window x and certian windows to stay on window Y...
the problem with disabling crossfire and then allowing the boxing to move across multiple monitors is the loss of performance.
you're better off just running one primary and all the others on secondary as an option.
