A *MUST* for nvSurround users PLUS fantastic customer service!
I've been using three monitors since back in the days of the Matrox Parahelia video card and the Matrox Triplehead. I was so thrilled when years ago Nvidia started to natively support triple monitor setups in the hardware. Unfortunately, as anyone who uses the Surround functionality knows, the drivers have always pretty much sucked.

If you play games regularly in ultra wide, three monitor configs, you know what a PIA it is to switch from the Surround mode to Active All Displays mode and vis-versa. I've tried staying in the Surround mode for everyday productivity.... but Nvida just did a miserable job with it.

I've been using DisplayFusion for about a week now, and even though playing MGS5:Phantom Pain and Elite:Dangerous (thanks Steam sale!) nightly in Surround at 6000x1080, when I'm done gaming, I leave the rig in Surround mode and my desktop functionality is fantastic!

Even better, their support is top rate. When running Quicken 2014 under DisplayFusion, my mouse clicks were not registering in Quicken rendering it useless. I emailed support and had a response within 24 hours. After some quick back-and-forth narrowing the issue, they were able to solve it with compatability settings under DisplayFusion. Working great now.

If you are a Surround user, I *highly* recommend this program to get the full value out of expensive hardware.
