nVidia multiple monitor setup questions

Post by Vega »

Setting up three different displays on my 2x GTX 480's always leaves the "main display" Windows task bar etc on the far left screen.

Coming from an ATI setup, you could set your main display in the center and have an extended desktop to the left and right. How do I set this up in Nvidia control panel? Whenever I set an extended desktop, it always put's the monitor(s) to the right of the "main" display.

It appears Windows 7 handles this and not the nVidia control panel. They helped me out over at overclocker.net. All you do is right click desktop -> Screen resolution to drag and drop the displays where ever you want them. What threw me off was that ATI does the monitor re-positioning in the CCC so I was also looking for it in the nVidia control panel.

Yeah, same issue at first. I like the middle monitor as my main and thought the Nvidia Control Panel would let me set it, but no, I had to do it in Windows. It's not really that big of a deal as it only takes a couple seconds, but it would be nice to just set it once in the Control Panel and be done with it from then on.
