Multiscreen Proper Setup

[Oddvar Ashborn]

Hello there guys, i recently bought 2 GTX 780Ti Hydro Copper and 3 BenQ XL2420Z.

I really don't know how to hook up these 3 monitor on that SLI in order to have the optimal settings.

 

The monitors are 1080p, 144Hz native, nVidia 3D Vision, and have 1xDVI-D (Dual-Link), 2xHDMI (MAYBE 1.4, but i'm not sure at all), and 1xDisplayPort.

As you certainly know, the 780Ti has 1xDisplayPort 1.2, 1xHDMI 1.4, 1xDVI-I (Dual-Link) and 1xDVI-D (Dual-Link)

 

I'm just looking for a way to hook them up in order to have the max resolution, 144Hz and everything else.

 

Thank you guys!

Use the DVI and Displayport ports on your card.

 

What exactly are you having a problem with?

That is for the GTX 680 but it's probably the same for the GTX 780 ti.

As i said, i'm just looking for the optimal settings, since it's my first time with a video surround and a SLI.

So, i should just connect the DVIs on the first graphic card, and the third one on the second graphic card, right?

However, how do i choose which one is the master and which one is the slave?

If you want the most out of your monitors, don't even bother with HDMI; HDMI is limited to a 30hz frequency, meaning even with all the nice equipment you have, you'll only be able to get 30fps visible on your monitors. And as for connecting everything, really there's no wrong way to do it. Just plug in as many DVI's and DisplayPort connections as you can and just configure and let your software and drivers do the rest. Here's a fairly recent video that should clarify some stuff in more detail.
