If anyone can figure this out. You will be my hero forever and I'll fall in love with you.
I CANNOT figure out anyway to fix this. Other people have no idea.

I have 2 980's with a 5930k processor. If I cannot get this to work, there is no point in me finishing my computer.

Problem: I can't go to 7680x1080. If I create a custom res it defaults to 5760 and I have to choose it still and so far only two games have even seen it. All other games see 5760. So it's useless. I tried the instill drivers with the inf thing into my monitors in device manager but nothing.

I have tried It on multiple motherboards. Tried it on Windows 7 ultimate and enterprise. I obviously have all correct cord. I have tried one card. I tried plugging them in each card .
I have installed drivers from November and the first 980 drivers from September.

Monitors worked before on my 780's and 290x's.
And the other thing. Even if I put it on 5760. It resets every reboot

I have a rampage extreme v motherboard

So.... You have 2560x1080 21:9 Monitors and try to run 3x1 Landscape on Nvidia Surround, correct?

About troubleshooting, what have you done before?
Tried single GPU and use Monitors in extended mode and they work all in 2560x1080?
But in SLS(Single Large Surface aka Surround activated) your desktop is limited to 5760x1080 max Resolution?

Hello Kirara,

You have not stated how your displays are connected up, what wiring and ports are used, also you have not stated what monitors you are using but a resolution of 7680x1080 is the same as 4x 1080p monitors, or you are using 3x1 2560x1080 monitors?


IF you are using 4 monitors....
You are using Nvidia Surround, which is limited to a maximum of 3 monitors in a single large surface group, with the 4th display to be used as an extra accessory/extended display.

Nvidia will not allow you to add this 4th monitor into the Nvidia Surround display group due to the Surround limitations. http://www.wsgf.org/article/nvidia-3d-v ... rround-faq

This is also a limitation of AMD Eyefinity, which although it supports many more configuration options it does not appear to support 4x1 at this time on the consumer grade cards. http://www.wsgf.org/article/amd-eyefinity-faq

The Nvidia Quadro and the AMD FirePro cards do support 4x1 configuration however these are much more expensive cards as these are designed for multi-head workstations and are CAD certified and optimized.



IF you are using 3 monitors....
If I recall, the way Nvidia Surround works is to have one or two of the outputs set to DVI single-link mode, which provides a maximum output resolution of 1920x1200@60hz which is insufficient bandwidth to display the monitors at a native resolution, this could also be why you are falling back to the 5760x1080 resolution, as the DVI-single link connector is your weakest link causing all displays to fall to the same bandwidth/resolution of 1920x1080 each.

The issue could also be if your using an active displayport to DVI/HDMI adaptor that is limited to 1920x1200@60hz resolution.

Could you please detail how you have each display connected and to which port on the card?

I suggest you check the Nvidia surround config tool - http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technol ... quirements

Until we can tell what cable configuration and monitor configuration your using this is purely guess work at this point.

well that's why I said I have the cost cords. and it worked BEFORE on my 780's?

I use hdmi. Dvi (yes duel) and display port.

I have 3 LG widescreen monitors.

It says dvi twice. It's wrong. It did say DP before but now dvi. I don't know why.

This image shows 2 of the 1st monitor??

From the Nvidia configuration image I posted above, can you please confirm which method you use to wire/connect up these displays please?
Also Monitor make/model would be helpful information.

Thank you.
