New NVIDIA supporting more than 2 Desktop Displays?

[realbenny]

Hey guys!

Some time since I last checked out gracas, I know AMD always supported more than 2 monitors with one card.


The old NVIDIAs didnt supported that.

Question: Did that change with the newer series's? 600/700


Im not interested in Gaming, but generally

3 Desktop monitors together on one NVIDIA card.




Thanks for you input guys!

The 6xx and 7xx Nvidia cards can run four monitors from a single card.

Thanks Mousemonkey

Good Nvidia did that, was really needed.


Question: Anybody has some input in how it works out?

Question: With W8 you have the 'second screen switch' (keys: Win+P)
How does that work/look with 3 monitors?


Im very grateful for any more answers!
Thanks guys!

I don't know about W8 but the only couple of restrictions that I can see is that one of the monitors has to connect to the DP port and I couldn't tell you whether you need an active adapter or not and only one of the monitors can be a VGA monitor regardless of DVI > VGA adapters.

As Im only caring for Desktop mode no extension of the gaming display or whatever..

I think one could just use one monitor with HDMI and the others with DVI-I and DVI-D.

just my 2 cents, my knowledge is not so up to date though.


NVIDIAs site tells:

According to the nvidia website you can use any 3 of the 4 connections for surround.

"Special Instructions:
> Any connectors can be used to enable Surround.
> Once Surround is enabled, users can use any
connector for the Accessory Display.
"

Thanks again for you help Mousemonkey!
