Hi I have purchased 3 x asus vg248qe 144 hertz monitors along with a gfx 760 card.I am under the impression i will need a display port to dvi dual link adaptor to enable 3d surround. Most that i have seen are extremely pricey .I was wondering if anyone has links to some fairly cheap ones that will work for me. |

Personally I use the BizLink DP to DVI Dual Link adaptor, when I purchased this when the 5870 was released it was touching on £100 inc delivery, with a bit of searching around I see these can be picked up for as little as £30-40 (excluding delivery), personally I would say these are now cheap. What do you call cheap and what country are looking to purchase in? |

Could I bypass the need for an adaptor and use a second gfx 760 card for the 3rd dvi? It doesn't give me the option on nvidias page to run that particular card in sli but it does for older cards.... |

Ok so a second video card does solve the need for the adapter to achieve 3d surround. That said It appears to also give me a much less score on 3d mark especially on the one game/bench it drops from 193 000 to 56 000 when sli is enabled across one monitor vs when having the sli enabled across 3 monitors [2 of the monitors are blanked out during test so essentially running on 1 monitor as well]]. So basically sli enabled with 1 display on one video card = 193 000 on 3dmark Sli enabled 3 monitors across 2 video cards [while displaying 3dmark tests on 1 monitor]= 56 000 on 3dmark. The other tests are not a dramatic of an increase/decrease but they still have a lower score with three monitors enabled in sli across 2 video cards. That said would an adapter help out with this issue since it would allow all three monitors to work off 1 card and allow sli to work properly.? |

When using SLI or Crossfire it is recommended to ensure that the application you are attempting to run has a SLI/Crossfire profile in the gpu drivers. without a profile, applications will often perform slower with 2 cards than a single card, it is possible to take a working profile and apply this to a application with unknown profiles, sometimes this works, sometimes not. |
