Nvdia surround

[jjohnthedon1]

Hey guys so I can't get 

nvdia surround working

i have 1 1400p 144hz monitor and 2 1080p 60hz monitor

 

even if u set my 1440p monitor to 1080p and 60hz I still can't enable surround 

 

has anyone managed to get it working with a similar set up ?

I used to run triple monitors, I had 3 of the exact same monitor and i was buggy as hell. When you go and throw in different resolutions and refresh rates the bugs and glitches are only going to get worse. I know JayzTwoCents for a while ran 3 very different monitors in surround, perhaps he made a video. Youre best off using the main one for gaming and the sides for multitasking

Are you connecting all the monitors to the same GPU? Are you using display port on all three? The resolution will definitely scale off a little, but your refresh rate can only run at the lowest hz available. So 60 hz is what you need to be set on.

 

What kind of issue are you running into as far as where in the setup process can you get to vs where is it not showing up?

Dvi, hdmi and DisplayPort 

I no they will only run at 60hz

 

when I come to pick the monitors my 1440p comes up and says all displays must have one common timing !? 

Even tho there all set at 1080p 60hz

 

is it because there all off of different connections ?

yes. Your 980 ti should have 3 display ports. Use them. I ran into the same issue when I tried to use my DVI-D cables mixed with 1 display port. Once I went with three display ports I no longer had any issues.

My 2 1080p monitors are hdmi only  

And my 1440p DisplayPort only

I personally have had never ending trouble using different ports with Surround and Eyefinity.

 

I had to try three different video cards before I found one that would take 3x 1080p HDMI only monitors, using 2x DVI ports with adapters and 1x HDMI port.

 

When I pick a video card that has 3x Display Ports and 3 monitors with Display Port, it works every time, all the time.

 

Full Disclosure, I have three different Surround/Eyefinity setups, one running on a R9 390, one running on a GTX 980 TI, and one running on a GTX 970.

 

I have spent way too many hours messing with this, and yes, if I had it to do over again, I'd be really tempted to do 1x 34" Ultrawide and be done with it.

 

At the office, I finally stopped bothering and just setup multi-monitor as standard because it was so flaky on the R9 390.

You can try. Does your 980 ti have 2 HDMI out?

Can* be across multiple cards for 3 way surround to my understanding. May need HDMI to Display Port cable / adapter.

check option 5 - shows you which ports to use across two cards for using 2 hdmi monitors as is.

Ok so if I get 2 hdmi to DisplayPort adaptors it should work ? 

[jjohnthedon1]

And plug in 3 displayports

Sorry - I misthought when I typed - it can be done but it has limitations. Check the link and look at option 5

Ok so I got all 3 displays saying there selected but enable surround is greyed out

any ideas ? 

[reptileexperts]

At this point, I would say maybe run DDU remove all drivers and geforce experience. Reinstall the latest drivers and try again. Sorry, I know thats not much more help, but it has fixed dumber issues.
