SLI Hotkey?

I have 2 cards running 3 monitors and it is fine for game (i only game on primary monitor) but when I want to squeeze that little bit more performance I turn on SLI which then turns of my other 2 monitors. I was wondering if there was a program which would make a SLI hotkey? for example instead of going into nvidia control panel every time i want to change it i press ctrl + alt + F10.

How are you connecting your monitors? I'm running 4 monitors (3 in surround + auxiliary) and SLI at the same time right now.

If you're running 6xx or 7xx series cards you can plug all monitors into the primary card they will all be on when SLI is enabled.

 

for 5xx or older only 2 can be connected to a card at once (excluding dual-gpu).

 

If you still need to switch between SLI and no SLI I would keep doing it the way you are as certain types of program need to be turned off before the switch is made and nvcp / driver checks for these.

Yea running 580's so I need to split my DVI connections between the cards so when I activate SLI it is only my primary monitor that is on, but yea that is fine I am waiting to see what AMD brings to the table soon before upgrading

I have 2 580's I cannot connects all 3 monitors to one card so I need to split my connection which then disables certain monitors when i turn on SLI. I could use Nvidia surround but I hate it
