I cannot run MS Flight Sim 10 in FULL SCREEN mode using the triplehead2go.

[09RKC]

The 3 displays are identical... the aircraft looking down the rwy on all 3 TVs. 3 rwys. It should be the middle TV doing what it's doing, the side TVs showing side views. Running in a window works fine but not FULL SCREEN.

Help!!

Tkx much!

ok you need to put the cards in surround
which means 1 video cable coming out of the video card has to be on the second 1
which means no sli but the cable has to be there
then go to nvidia control panel
and click span displays with surround
and test the game should work
also if you dont understand here is nvidia's guide

Hmmm... the way it is now, I have (1) wire coming out to the triplehead2go, then on to the 3 TVs. The other (3) outputs have cables running to (3) cmptr monitors on my desk. You're saying that has to change.

I have to run a cable with dual male connectors and connect the two video cards? I don't know what SLI is. But this would mean when all's said/done I have only (1) desk monitor, correct?

anything you have on your screen can be spread across all the monitors but thats how it has to be connected

I've actually 6 displays total. 3 TVs that I want to run FSX in full screen mode and 3 regular cmptr monitors I use at my desk for normal working purposes.

By your description (if I'm reading it right) I'll lose 2 of my cmptr monitors on my desk by connecting the two video cards together...? I looked at the NVIDIA Control Panel. Intimidating!

That NVIDIA site you gave me references the GTX 600 series. Do you know if it's pertinent to the 760 cards too?

Tkx!!

yes it still works with the 700 series as it newer and the 600 series is older

>>ok you need to put the cards in surround which means 1 video cable coming out of the video card has to be on the second 1

Are you saying there needs be a cable coming out of card #1, and plugging into card #2, a jumper? I'm not having much luck so far.

[nickbachu]

you need to use all the ports for video on the gtx 760 such as the One Dual Link DVI-I, One Dual Link DVI-D, One HDMI, One DisplayPortStandard Display Connectors you need to use as much as you can on 1 card and rest on the other

yes the sli connector has to be there to sync the cards

Over time I've tried blueprints suggested on this site without much luck:

Clearly I'm doing something wrong and always putting things back the way they were, thankful I can at least get it back (grin). Never been good at this part of cmptrs. I don't suppose you've got a picture of two cards and their ports for how (3) TVs (or monitors) should be connected...?

Tkx a bunch for your help!
