Ok, so there are no ideas on what I an doing wrong here, would a 3rd gfx card be an alternative to run the 4th monitor, just something small to power it ?

Hi all, its been a while

I am trying to get a 4th monitor to work and am having no luck and would appriciate any advice from those more talented than myself.

My system is
3930k
Rampage extreme 4
2 x titans
16gig dominator ram
2 x samsung pro SSD

3 x Asus 27 144hz in surround. All using D/L DVI ...

Hi guys, I am considering a 29inch monitor for my second computer, I play minimal games on it and do office work and a fair bit of PS graphics work on it.
I see LG has two versions available (as choises are a little limited in Aus)
m
and
m

There is a $50 difference between the two, (which is of no ...

Well worth it I think, it opens up a whole new avenue for larger screens. And I should include that I bought the cube as well. Although this will have US plug configurations I have a pretty sharp sparkie who thinks he will be able to "Mcgyver" up the inserts to suit Aus plugs. I will report back on ...

Just a quick update, after a few PM's back and forth, Ibrin has sorted postage etc and the ordering page to include Aus... Thanks so much mate, so I guess this would be the first one to head down under, just hope its the inverted version..... you know, for the southern hemisphere..... :usesparingly

Hi guys,
I already have an ergotech tripple monitor stand, and would like to purchase the upgrade package, 5 arm, long pole, 2 mounts, and get a cube as well.
My problem is when filling out the purchase form there is no ability to ship to Sydney, Australia. (US/Canada only)
I realise that it ...

I would deffinately look at eyefinity or Surround.

On another note, surround doesnt support 3 + 1 screens, "BUT" you could get a USB monitor to add a forth from somewhere like mimo. I have a 10" touch screen and am about to connect it to my 2 x 480 surround set up. (trying to buy the extra long ...

From an iRacing perspective only, one key point to avoid micro stutters is not to use cards that have multi cpu on board. 6990 590 etc. Although this issue is not specificly defined it seems to be the root cause of it in iRacing. 6970 and 2x 580's dont have this problem (in iRacing) and you can get ...

Hi Ibrin, thanks for your work on this development, just awesome.
Couple of questions, I would like to run larger monitors in nVid surround and use a 4th monitor above it. The fourth monitor is a USB mimo monitor, so should be ok to do.
So what I need is the taller pole, extra mount, wide bar ...

Sure will, I used 2 x 280's for a fair while when the surround drivers were released (about 6 months). Didnt do any really intence grafical gaming, but for stuff like rFactor, GTR Evo and I-racing it did the job quite well.

From memory you need 3 monitors with identical sync polarity for surround to work. Which you dont have with two different sized monitors.
Sorry, but it aint working for a reason. your solution is to get one more 22, 2 x more 24's (with identical sync polarity) or go to change to eyefinity.

you could use a Ergotech stand (shameless plug) and not need to get a new desk



and watercooling makes a real difference, to the cards and the surrounding rooms temp..
Just finished doing my 2 x 480's

My thoughts on Eye-finity-entry.
1/You took the first serious gaming step in the marketing race and have forced the green boys to follow. (Matrox was not really intended for gaming)
2/ Your development has been pretty swift compared to the competition
a/ less power
b/ less heat
c/ less ...

Congrats on the win, and thanks Mounted Concepts (Chris) for this give away, nice to see support from such a company, I am still soooooooo happy with my purchase, and pleased with the service that you and your team give. Keep up the great work and have a safe and happy festive season.

Everything Scavvenjahh said, and, are the 3 screens the same, as in identical ? I believe surround must see them as identical or they will not work. Not just 3 x 1680 x 1050 monitors that are hooked up. Otherwise eyefinity will be you next best option.

Thanks gents :cheers

Thanks, didnt know that list existed, seems 1200w could do it ok, are there prefered brands? As I know that some PSU manufacturers quote a figure, which is the max atainable, but consistancy of power delivery can be dodgy at best.

If I wanted to run tri 480's or tri 580's, what sort of "watts" would I be looking for in an adequate (with a little head room) PSU ?
I currently have a thermaltake 1500w unit, (which to date has served me ok) but as I am a little more educated now, I am looking to ditch it for my next build in ...

Doesnt matter, its coming to Aus anyway..... :nudgenudge :wink:
I even opened a face book account just to comply....

Thanks DaFox, would it be too much to ask for some links that might explain its advantages to me pls ?
As I am updating my current computer in the coming months I am interested in knowing more to determine if its something I will find usefull, rather than selecting from what is currently available ...
