[GTX 1080 Ti] Surround Not Working on MST DaisyChain

Post by Bear »

Hi there,

I have three identical monitors (Dell U24H17) connected by MST daisy chain; they work perfectly on Windows 10, however I am unable to use NVIDIA Surround at all; the option is simply greyed out

Please advise

Have you tried just giving each monitor it's own cable from the GPU?

MST Hubs only do "SLS (single large surface)" on AMD GPUs. This was the case with the separate break-out boxes sold by Club 3D and other vendors.

Just so people know: I've got MSI GTX 1080 Ti, and it's only got two displayports. So, I managed to get three 1080p monitors working at 5760x1080 @ 144Hz, all three are. Using this:

This DisplayPort hub is passive, but will most definitely get three 1080p's on nVidia Surround if you lack at least ONE displayport. Not sure about other resolutions and refresh rates, as your experience may vary, but it will support my setup beautifully. :onethumb:
