SLI is supported, 2D Surround wasnt implemented until (i believe) the GTX2xx series, so not going to work. But then with only 768 MB on the card i dont think you'd even want to play a game at a triple screen resolution

Hello! I have sadly noticed that putting 2 "old" 8800gtx in SLI will not allow me to setup Nvidia surround. Am i doing something wrong, or 2 x 8800GTX SLI is not supported? Is there any chance for me to play Flight Simulator X with wideview on 3 monitors? Thanks in advance!! |

Anyone know if there is a hack or fix to enable surround on unsupported video cards? I have 2 GTS250 1gbs, on an old q9650 with 8gbs of ram as an extra system. I have 3 22inch 1680x1050 monitors on hand, and it would be cool to enable surround even on the lewest detail settings. I it would be fun to be able to show friends and stuff when they come over. The GTX260 is no that much more powerful than the gts250 and if we are playing MW3 on medium-low there should be pletny of horse power. |

I've used Soft Triple Head and it works well enough with DX9 games. Never tried it with SLI. I wonder if I can use the SLI rig as the main video card, and a 3rd card like a 8400gs to pass through the 3rd screen? |
