| Post subject: | No More Surround After Nvidia Driver Update (solved) |
hey guys, this problem is driving me mad, and ive had it for a while now i have a gtx590 watercooled and everydriver update after 285.62 causes the configure multi-gpu,physx, surround tab to vanish from the nvidia control panel, and causes me to get stuck with one monitor this has happened with every driver, so i have no choice but to reinstall 285.62 which sucks i have tried uninstalling driver before updating and even goin to single monitor then doing the update and trying to go back to surround but the option simply vanishes every time |

Hey crispy, uninstall the video drivers (using the drivers uninstaller), reboot, run as admin Driver Sweeper, delete all Nvidia - Display and Nvidia - PhysX files, reboot again, download the latest drivers for your GTX 590 (301.42) and install it. |

Have you tried the new 301.42 WHQL drivers? I suffered similar issues with getting Surround working on more up-to-date drivers and my 460s - they just didn't want to offer me Surround. |

Yes that is weird, because it's the 3rd option under 3D settings where you need to choose to configure surround using SLI. 
If you have had no success with DriverSweeper, I would try using a spare hard drive and installing Windows back onto it, latest Nvidia drivers, and see if it works that way. Might have a problem with your Windows or something. I know you don't want to, but I have no other suggestions sorry. |
