Making Nvidia surround work

post #1 of 4

Thread Starter 
Alright well I'm trying to get nvidia surround working on my 3 monitors

1x BenQ XL2420TX
2x ASUS VW246H

They're all 1920x1080 the BenQ is 120hz while the Asus monitors are 60hz so obviously cutting the refresh rate of the BenQ in half.
No matter what I try surround will not give me the correct resolution, the best i get is 3000something x 700 something and when I try to force it to 5760 x 1080 @ 60Hz it tell me that the resolution isn't supported.

Any help would be great.

Generally Nvidia Surround doesn't work on monitors correctly unless they have the same sync polarity, which generally means that you need 3 of the exact same monitors. Likely you're going to need to buy a 3rd Asus of the same model to get it to work properly.

Got it working by making some unsigned drivers, what an annoying limitation.

Could you elaborate a bit since I'm having the same problem?

Custom unsigned drivers for GPU or the monitors? And how since I haven't been able to google it so far.
