Hello everyone,

So today my third monitor arrived finally (Woo!) and I've been waiting so long to have three screens, but my excitement unfortunately is short lived.

My two monitors that I've been running for about a year now are Samsung S24B300HL 24" 1920x1080 monitors, however nowhere sells them anymore so I had to get a different third monitor (arrived today) which is my BenQ EW2440 which is now my middle screen, with the two Samsung's at either side.

All 3 screens run at 1920 x 1080 and 60Hz, they're all 24" too.

My Graphics card is an MSI GeForce GTX 660Ti 2GB OC

Monitor 1 (Center, BenQ) HDMI -- HDMI card
Monitor 2 (Left, Samsung) HDMI -- HDMI TO DVI-I -- DVI-I into card
Monitor 3 (Right, Samsung) HDMI -- HDMI TO DVI-D -- DVI-D into card

Now, When I go into NVIDIA Control Panel -> 3D Settings -> Configure Surround, PhysX, I check the box "Span displays with Surround" in t he "Surround Configuration" category, and then the three display boxes below which are looking like this:

Turn into this:

After this, clicking the "Configure..." button does absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. Not even a process initiates or starts itself in the processes tab under Task Manager.

Have I done something wrong? Is there something glitching here?

I eagerly await replies! Thanks!
 
Solution
One of them must use the Display port, I dont believe you can run 3 screens using HDMI and DVI alone.

Also, your 660 Ti isnt really powerful enough to run all 3 at 1080p in surround in games.
