Some interesting bits on the nvidia driver page for the new 600 drivers, including moving the taskbar to just the centre monitor and maximising windows to one monitor also. Hope this will also come to the 500 series.

looks like you can edit the nvdisp.inf to run it on other hardware, will give it a shot when I'm done with work.

works a treat, centre only task bar, windows open to single displays etc. I've not tested games, stability etc yet.

Wow they finally fixed the "not being able to maximize windows to a single screen while running surround" bug and the "taskbar spans all three displays in surround" bug too?

I wonder if that's just the new drivers, or you need the new drivers + the 680 to get those fixes?

To install I downloaded the drivers, extracted then edited the following:
ListedDevices.txt add lines for your GPU, in my case

DEV.1080 "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580"
DEV.1089 "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 "
DEV.108B "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 "

NvDisp.inf update 3 sections, again adding lines for you GPU

[NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.0]
%NVIDIA_DEV.1080% = Section034, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_1080
%NVIDIA_DEV.1089% = Section004, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_1089
%NVIDIA_DEV.108B% = Section004, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_108B

[NVIDIA_SetA_Devices.NTamd64.6.1]
%NVIDIA_DEV.1080% = Section035, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_1080
%NVIDIA_DEV.1089% = Section015, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_1089
%NVIDIA_DEV.108B% = Section005, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_108B

[Strings]
NVIDIA_DEV.1080 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580"
NVIDIA_DEV.1089 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 "
NVIDIA_DEV.108B = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 "

If you need the info for you particular GPU just grab it from the files in an older driver. No idea how well this will work so try it at your own risk etc.

I'm running the drivers with 580 SLI so is not 680 specific

I got an email today from NVIDIA to talk about Kepler. Will be meeting with them tomorrow, and hopefully get a review sample.

AMAZING, cant wait to read the review, it seems like AMD is screwed, im so mad at myself for not waiting.

Sounds great. If you get some hands on find out about tearing with surround. I am getting terrible tearing with my 7970. I would consider a switch if this is not an issue with the 680.

Looks like SweClockers.com did a test of 680 SLI performance in BF3 at Surround resolutions, have a look:

That's not the kind of jump I'm looking for from my 580s, honestly. Perhaps the EVGA 4GB editions or new drivers will help in the future, but I won't be buying right now.

Can't wait to get home and try out that new driver though!

Actually, now that I take a look, that whole article is about SLI, not just the BF3 portion.
