Hey guys just wondering how you would go about or if its even possible to run 3 catleaps off 2 680s



Because the third has to be on a display port right so couldn't you just run two of the dvi's and use a Active adapter for the display port?

With Nvidia Surround, you can use any of the three ports to use three monitors at once on the GTX 600 series. You do not have to use a DisplayPort adapter.

Edit: From the Nvidia website:

for triple catleaps you WILL have to have a dp to dl dvi adapter since it only has dl dvi inputs on monitor. so with two 680s. 1 adapter needed and use each dl dvi port on each card, unless the 680 has two dl dvi ports you can do two dl dvi on one card and 1 dl dvi on other.

correct me if i'm wrong please

it does indeed have 2 DL-DVI ports one DVI-I and one DVI-D so you would not need an adapter with SLI 680's good luck! and let me know how hard your cards run on that setup thumb.gif need a gauge of the GPU power ill need for my new setup
