Nvidia Surround

[nut334]

Hello everybody, this is my first post on this forum so forgive me if I do something improperly.

 

I'm having problems with surround gaming ever since I bought a new motherboard (MSI Z77 MPower) http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77-MPOWER.html , Surround seems to work properly doing regular browsing and desktop things, but when I try to launch a full screen game my system crashes. My computer has been generally buggy ever since I got my new board, my old board was an asus p8p67 deluxe that died on me recently. My old setup ran surround fine despite being underpowered, but it definitely worked. The specs of my system previous to this upgrade are Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 Deluxe CPU: Core i7-2600k Overclocked to 4.47Ghz Graphics: 2xGtx 570 Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4Gb Storage:240 Gb Kingston SSD and a 500Gb Seagate HDD Power Supply: Corsair TX750.

 

All I upgraded was my graphics cards (2x GTX780), power supply(XFX 1000W) and I changed my motherboard(listed above) out of necessity.

 

My computer runs full screen games fine in sli on one monitor at 1080p, it just seems to be a surround problem! Please help, I bought these graphic cards specifically for surround so I really want this to work, it did before, right?

Any help Is greatly appreciated, I will try to check this as much as I can as this is somewhat an urgent issue.

 

Again, apologies for the poorly edited post, I haven't been part of a forum in many years. Linus talks you guys up all the time so I figured there was no better place to start!

Check you drivers man. Also Enable SLI on the graphics settings. 

Also Welcome to the forums.

I got the newest drivers from Nvidia for sure! Ill check that out, seems like something too simple to miss, haha.

Thanks buddy!

I'm pretty sure SLI is enabled, says it is anyways!

Also make sure that your connections are secure (PSU to GPU, and monitors)

Have you tried putting the GPU's on stock clocks if you have overclocked or bought a factory overclocked cards and see if it crashes? I also run surround and they have made some changes to the drivers in last few updates so there mite be an issue there. Also I have done testing where by overclocking the memory frequency can cause crashes. I guess cause you use some much Vram when you run surround.

[nut334]

Connectors are definitely secure!

Both my old cards and my new cards come factory overclocked, that could be something to try I guess. Could you suggest a good video card over clocking manager/software?

I use vega precision x right now but I don't like it much.

If all else fails, back up all your stuff and reinstall Windows. Might have been an issue when you changed mobos.

[nut334]

It's probably been a year or more since I did a clean install, but I'd really rather not if I can avoid it.

[nut334]

I got home and tried cranking the clocks all the way down, no luck.

I managed to get surround working in some games, not sure how, but I did. Although it appears to only be in select games, maybe this is a video driver issue?

Reinstall windows, best option
