Surround Help

[IGetWaffles]

I am having trouble getting Nvidia surround to work. I have 3 monitors and 2 way SLI gtx 760s. I am not to sure which ports to plug the monitors into to get it to work. I tried 2 DVI and a HDMI but that didn't work. So I went with what a salesman at memory express said and bought a display port to DVI active adapter and plugged in a monitor to that and left the HDMI and DVI connected but that also didn't work. Do I need to plug 2 monitors into the DVI on the first GPU and the last monitor into the DVI on the second GPU?

Hey.

 

For Nvidia surround in SLI. You use the DVI and HDMI from the top card and then a DVI from the bottom card.

 

The Display port on the top card is used for the auxiliary 4th display.

I use 2 DVI and one HDMI and it works perfectly on one card have you tried plugging everything into one card?

Glad to hear it's working. I don't bother personally, but it's up to you.

Ok it should work then

edit: I see you worked it out and about the custom resolution in games yes make one as the default one tends to repeat things on 2 screens where as the custom one does not and the image is smooth.

I will work on getting a good resolution now. Thanks again for the help, you guys sure beat asking the sales team at memory express. Now i have to return a $50 adapter.
