I have a PNY Geforce GTX 1080 XLR8 card (Just got it last week). I am running triple monitors, but I can only run 2 on surround. All 3 of my monitors are Samsung 24", (2 are the exact same model, and the other has audio). I cannot get all 3 to sync up to run surround. I have tried everything. Any other suggestions?

Can you tell me more about: I have tried everything? Clearly you haven't tried something that would make it work

Have you tried opening nvidia control panel and going into the setup multiple displays section?

Sounds like you didn't select the option for 3x1 configuration while you were setting up surround.

Is the third monitor that isn't connecting on an analog connection?

 

Have you tried to create a custom resolution for the third monitor with a different polarity option in one of the settings from +,- to -,+, for example? If the monitors have different polarity it doesn't work.
