i got nothing...ive created a custom resolution on the odd display to 1920 x 1080 all 3 monitors are running at 1920 x 1080 when i go to surround and check the configure it sends me to the display port page then when i click apply it sends me back to the configure page with the box unchecked once in a while it will put me through to the bezel correction page and when i hit the create resolution tab it opens it on the left under inactive it says 5760 x 1080 when i add it to the active and hit apply my screens flash the # 2 & 3 come up on the 2 left screens then sends me back to the configure surround with the box unchecked?

You have to get the custom resolution set individually for the odd monitor at 1920 X 1080, with the sync polarity that matches the other monitors, at the same 1920 X 1080 resolution. Once you accomplish that, you might want to restart your system. Then, after restarting, you can enable surround. Don't do bezel correction, just let it set whatever surround resolution it wants. Then, go to change resolution and you should see the option for 5760 X 1080. Its hit or miss, but it should work, so long as you correctly matched up the sync polarities at 1920 X 1080. |

after many frustrating hrs it all of a sudden decided to work! pretty sure i did the same thing about a 100 times not sure why it decided to work this time but iam glad it did i was ready to trade the card in for a 7970 lol the alignment is a tad off but nothing too serious.....on another upside my gtx 670 2gb is running at the same settings i had on a single screen and is actually running better? 20 cars settings high fxaa on adaptive v sync on 58-60 fps any suggestions om getting the screens level seems like my center screen is about a 1/2 inch on my home screen and maybe less than a 1/4 in game thnx to Dark for the chair ill post a pic of my setup i built this weekend in a few days Cheers |

Sorry knight I don't have either rfactors, I forgot to mention what games 20 cars settings high in pcars, hasn't dropped below the refresh rate in race 07 and I haven't tried iracing yet...I was a little worried it wouldn't run the triple screens, I actually put my card up on kijiji to upgrade to a 4gb will see what happens with pcars and if the card will continue to perform near release time
Np dark u can put them in your mail box or mine 2211 19st

Hmm, okay Rf1 is a given, Pcars is a surprise, 20 cars is impressive on triples with 2gbs. Looks like I'll just have to wait to see what it will do in rF2...I expect it should be fine for iRacing, I think I was getting 150fps single screen, so that must mean a reasonable chance of decent triple action.

Dont' expect too much. That said. ignoring the tracks with known framerate issues (Suzuka, Spa) you should be seeing around 100 fps or more dropping to the 70s is there's a lot of tire smoke. Shadows are probably the main framerate killer as they're rendered on the CPU. I suspect smoke is too. iRacing's code, in some ways, is still stuck in the 2000's. Come out of T1 at Spa with a full field and you can expect a slideshow for 1-3 seconds. |

Kurupt, I had to physically lift the screens to line them up. Bezel correction is not an option with different displays running triple screens via Nvidia Surround.

@ Craig. I have a sony middle srceen and to off brands for my side screens. When I go to the nvidia control panel it lets give me the option to bezel correct or std resolution. I align the middle with the side screens with bezel correction. then I change the resolution to what ever is the highest with bezel efect. In change resolution settings. I do check surround before those steps. Make sure all your dvi or hdmi are all in working order. I had an dvi to hdmi adapter go bad witch will not let you go to surround mode.Kept given me different htz readings on the bad adapter.

DVI-HDMI are signal-compatible for this purpose. That is, the adaptor needed is about a $2 passive part. I keep a couple of spares around because you never know when you'll need it. Rant: I hate the use of HDMI for PCs. The connector has very little mechanical gripping force (and almost always for PC use hangs vertically off the back of the monitor making things worse)... one of my monitors was tuning on and off randomly until I jiggled the plug a bit. |

My recollection is that I could bezel correct with different displays (keep in mind that I recently purchased duplicate displays), but the resolution would be lower than the magic full HD 5760 X 1080 resolution that we are aiming for. |
