problems with sli surround

[stangflyer]

Sold my 5970 for a very good price. He gave me 2x260's to use till I see what the 6990 brings to the table. Then will decide between that or 580 in sli.

I have 3 different makes/models of monitors but they are same size and res. One of them is a dell with native display port.

I have spent the last 7 hours trying to get surround working with the 260's. Have read that the nvidia solution is much more stringent on monitor usage.
I have 3x1680x1050 monitors but can only get 3840x1040 to work. BM works fine but cannot get 5040x1050 to work. Sli works with one screen fine and 3 screen extended works fine with all 3 at 1680x1050.

I have one of the monitors that has the opposite polarity but I did set up a custom res and setup and still no go.

I have had more problems with nvidia surround in the last 10 hrs then I did in the last 11 months with my eyefinity setup.
I really do not want to send more money on matching monitors as I had two monitors and got the dell dp monitor for eyefinity.
Glad I tried this as I am pretty sure I will wait for the 6990 and not get 580's in sli.

Sorry for the rant but this should not be this hard!

what os are you using, think nvidia surround needs windows 7

Got it all working: Ordered 2 new dell monitors to match my other. Works perfect now with matching monitors.
