We should then be presented with this screen which lets us choose how we want to configure our resolution and bezel correction, for me personally I like windows to be perfectly split between screens so I opted to choose “Yes choose special resolutions”.
Your screens will probably flick on and off again as it re-configures the resolution and monitor position. To fix this issue simply drag and move each numbered screen within the window to its actual position on your desk (as pictured above) and click Apply. In the window to the right we can see that the NVIDIA Control Panel thinks our monitors go in the sequence of 3,2 and 1 (working left to right), however as you can see from the above image of the monitors on the desk they’re identified as 1,3 and 2 (working left to right). Once it’s done we’re presented with something like the above, now it’s not quite easy to see but monitor number 3 has the following window open: Your screens may flick on and off for a moment as it configures the initial resolution. Once everything is connected as it should be click Apply to finalise the configuration. If for any reason you need to modify the configuration of your connected monitors this screen will show us how exactly we need to connect the displays to the graphics card. Put a tick in the Span displays with Surround box and hit apply. Once we have the NVIDIA Control Panel open, select Configure Surround, Physx in the left hand side to open the configuration options. To do this simply right click on a blank part of the desktop and select the NVIDIA Control Panel. However as we’re gaming we need to create one fixed resolution that spans all 3 screens instead of having 3 individual screens running at 1920 x 1080, we need all three monitors to be combined into one long resolution of 5760 x 1080 (or 6000 x 1080 with bezel compensation). If you weren’t planning on gaming on all three monitors you can just enable the other two and extend the desktop.

Once connected I booted into desktop to find Windows 7 had identified that I have 3 monitors connected (so far so good), but had only opted to enable one. DVI – HDMI – Display Port).įor my first configuration I’m using a GTX 670 and have opted to connect two DVI cables and a HDMI to DVI for the third monitor.

The first thing we need to check prior to trying to configure NVIDIA Surround is that our graphics card has enough digital outputs, although all 600 series chipsets support NVIDIA Surround the PCB must have enough digital outputs to enable you to configure NVIDIA surround on a single card, an example card would have at least 3 digital interfaces (i.e. I’ve been doing some research online and I’ve read multiple reports of people struggling to configure the NVIDIA surround due to their monitors having different synch polarities there is a work around which I will mention at the bottom of this guide, however I cannot recommend it and we cannot support you with it. NVIDIA state that you don’t require identical monitors but for this guide I’m going to be using 3 x BenQ XL2420s – Why? Because I can that’s why. With the launch of the 600 series GPUs we saw NVIDIA cards supporting the Surround feature with only a single GPU, in the past NVIDIA surround required multiple cards however any 600 series card with 3 or more digital connections such as HDMI, DVI-D and DisplayPort will support NVIDIA Surround.
