Porblems with Nvidia Surround

[SneekyFish]

Hello,
I have recently purchased three Acer H226HQL monitors. I am running a nvidia gtx 660 ti with two of the monitors connected by DVI and the third using HDMI. On the setup multiple displays tab I check all of the boxes next to the monitors. I then click configure surround, Physx. Under this tab I check the box "Span displays with surround". I then click configure and the window showing they are recognized and where to plug them in pops up. I click apply and it turns off two of my monitors. It does not even display the screen afterwards asking how I want them setup. I have tried to change resolutions also but all it ever shows is 1920x1080.
On a side note, would a single 660 ti be able to run upcoming games on high fps on three screens? Or should I buy another 660ti/ upgrade to a newer model?

Just tried reboot. Without messing with anything, went straight into Nvidia CP and checked box to span displays with surround, click apply, apply; screens flash, box now unchecked.

Ok... open NVIDIA CP
Go to Desktop Size and Position.

Click the selection for Full Screen.
For Perform Scaling On; select GPU.
Set Refresh to 60Hz.

If for any reason the "Override Scaling Mode" box below is checked; Un-Check that box.

Now click apply.



Then see if u can enable Surround View.

*When u choose Surround View, just click the Span Displays with Surround View checkbox, then click the Configure Box. Do not hit Apply in the far right lower corner. I think this is your problem here.

Tried clicking configure directly below box and the same screen appears as if I had hit apply in lower right hand corner. This new box shows me that all monitors are connected with green arrow next to them. I click apply, same result.

After clicking configure immediately afterwards something else happens now.

A new box opens which has the following options.
Displays
Connect displays and activate surround. Arrange and rotate displays.
Bezel Correcion
Specify how objects appear across screens.
Resolutions
Add or remove resoltuion.

At first I clicked Displays, and it said Nvidia encountered a problem and needed to close.
Tried to get screen again and clicked Bezel correction instead. It seems to think that the position of my monitors are wrong. The picture that it is trying to show between my middle and left monitor is between my middle and right. The picture that is is trying to show between middle and right is halfway cut out on my far right screen. This happens when I try to have middle as my primary. When I keep my left screen on primary (where background looks correct) I click the bezel options again and it displays them correctly. I tried telling it to set to the extended resolution (5760x1080) but did not want to keep the change.

Most likely is driver problem... NVIDIA CP should not close/crash, or become unresponsive. Not unless ur system is really slow.

Uninstall all NVIDIA Forceware; 3d vision; PhysX, HDMI audio related drivers via Control Panel > Programs & Features. U may have to reboot at least once or twice to fully get them uninstalled.

Download 314.22 WHQL (64bit)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-314.22-whql-driver.html

During installing them, select CUSTOM, unselect 3DVision and NVIDIA Updater, if not needed.

Click the "Perform Clean Install' box. Then install...

When finished it should ask to reboot, do that. Then go into NVIDIA CP after it's rebooted and try again.

It works. Back ground displaying properly, middle primary, it ran Just Cause across all screens. Thank you for all your help.

Anytime!

Please use the type of method for uninstall and reinstall as I suggest above, as this greatly cuts down on driver issues when changing versions. For GPU drivers, this is the sort of method NVIDIA and AMD suggest.

With NVIDIA though, the important part really is clicking CUSTOM and then CLEAN INSTALL. I wish they would just default the clean install method somehow, as a means of reducing people's problems.
