Hello, been a while since i been in her.

I have 2xgtx 285 in sli, four monitors (three of then for gaming in surround, and one above so i can se the desktop while gaming).
I run it with a th2go.

Now i wonder, if I instead for using the th2go, use nvidia surround, will I have changes in fps? And, kan i still use all four monitors as I do now?

I don't think FPS will change much, if at all.

Although you won't be able to run the fourth monitor any more IIRC.

As I suspected then. Maybe i give it som testing when i have a third GFX installed agin.
last time I had the third card running the fourth monitor, and also running dedicated physX. But, it works just as well letting the two sli connected cards running physx. Only tested with borderlands though.

I wasn't aware Borderlands utilised PhysX?

Ok fixed my signature:).

Yes Borderlands uses Physx, though on newer systems you may not notice so much difference between running physx on cpu or GFX.

On my old P4 3.4 EE the fps would drop very low sometimes. But when i put in a physx card, I could run it in surround with steady 25 to 30 fps.
and on my new computer i get smother fps also.
