im just curious if anyone has setup 3 Acer T232HL touch monitors in tripple wide. i just wonder if it would work at all.

active miniDP to HDMI converter works fine!

But you *might* get tearing if you use different connections / adapters.

well i found the info in a place i probably should looked first. i used the geforce.com website tool to show how to set up a surround with accessory using dvi. looks like there is a option via triple 660 ti. it says 660 but 660 ti the lowest 3way config i think. i think anything 660 ti and up could use these configs. i took a snapshot of the 4 options for 4 monitors so thought i would share here.

You would probably want to read:

BEFORE you jump in.

Remember the:

1) Heat output from 3 cards

2) Power consumption (read as you NEED a monster PSU)

3) 2 way SLI (normal) is dependant on the nV driver team. 3 way is even more dependant on them. You may be better off with a 690, or a pair of 670's...

If you consider running 3 cards after considering the 3 above, go with it :)
