| Post subject: | Nvidia surround question & monitor |
Hello guys, I am a longtime user of matrox th2go, and recently built a new rig. As the th2go (digital) doesnt support DX11 features, I am looking into the nvidia surround solution. Understand it works only in SLI mode, so i have to look for a 2nd GTX580. But have a few questions: In case there is a game which doesnt support SLI, does it mean I cannot run this game in surround at all? (switchback to th2go?) So in case SLI is switched off, I get automatically only one display? How does it work with the normal windows desktop? Is it on three monitors or just one and than switching to three when playing a sli supported game? I never used SLI before, so I dont know exactly how it works, when it is enabled/disabled and how that influences surround? (the th2go just worked out of the box everywhere - on desktop, in-games etc) And another question. Would like to change my old 19" (5:4) monitors to 23-24" (16:9/16:10) monitors, supporting 3D (120Hz). Pls could you give me some recommendations, which monitors i should focus on? each monitor shouldnt be more expansive than EUR 300/USD 450. thanks, pudel |

if mean that there isnt an sli profile for the game? You can still run in surround, Its easier with nvidia as you can just set a profile manually to work till they release a dedicated profile. |

With NV surround it's all configurable in the NV control panel. You can turn on and off SLI or multimonitor whenever you want. I have not run into a game that doesn't support SLI (I don't play old games) so I can't help you on that but with NV it would not be possible to run on 3 monitors if you disable SLI. You desktop is on 3 monitors as one big 5760x1080 desktop. Good luck with your shopping. Keep us posted. |

Surorund will still work in the games that have no SLI support usually , but your performance will be awful. At least this was the case with need for speed shift 2 when I tried that on it's release. There was no SLI support, but I could still run the game in surround if I wanted 25 FPS. |

Thank you. What about the monitors? My current favourite would be three of the Acer GD245HQbid. Any objections, suggestions, ideas, comments? |
