"Configure Surround" missing from Nvidia control panel *solved* I just brought myself a new GTX760 4GB card for 2D surround use as my old TH2Go died. I have three identical 19" BenQ FP93GX gaming screens, purchased at the same time. All three have identical resolution and frequency (1280x1024@75Hz). They are all configured and running like this, 1 via DVI cable, one via HDMI - DVI cable, and one via DVI cable through a Display Port adapter. All three run just fine in windows Vista 32 bit. I am trying to enable 2D surround, but as you can see in this pic I have no option to configure surround in the Nvidia control panel: As you can see: I do have three screens running, I am not lying: Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P - which is a "crossfire" board, but I'm only using single GPU so that shouldn't matter. I have done NUMEROUS 'Clean installs' of NVIDIA drivers 320.49. NO option to configure surround. Nothing shows up - nada, zip, zero. I'm sick of banging my head against walls here. Far as I can tell everything's tip top. What have I done wrong? Thanks. Dave.
very strange indeed, the surround settings would usually be at the same tab/page as physx. i dont remember having any issues with setting up surround when i had a single 670. though it shouldn't matter, try to connect the monitors through dvi to dvi on 2 of the monitors, and hdmi on 1 (or hdmi to dvi if monitor doesn't have hdmi) when i had single card, i connected using 2 dvi, and 1 hdmi currently with 2 cards, i connect using 3 dvi
Thank you so much for your reply eternitykh. I thought the same thing as you, and tried 2 monitors on DVI-DVI and 1 via HDMI. Nada. I even tried using just 2 monitors - both through the DVI connectors only. Still no option for configuring surround. I really don't want to have to splash out for three new monitors when the ones I have are perfectly ok - and identical. Mrs Pibb will not be the least bit impressed. I'll be in the dog house for weeks...:behead:
Not that it will make you feel any better... but my EVGA GTX 760 ACX 2G is working fine with three 1280x1024 monitors in surround mode. Attached DVI+DVI+HDMI, which you tried. Windows 8 Pro 64bit, but that shouldn't matter. Should work in win7 too. I'm at a loss to explain why it doesn't work for you. Here is what is in my "system information". Anything odd in yours?

Thanks for the replies chaps. ProBro - it's good to hear that 3840 x 1024 works just fine. I *think* I know what the problem is now. As is often the case, the problem is between the keyboard and the chair... I.e. me. I'm running on Vista and Nvidia quite clearly state that surround requires Win7 or 8. Can't believe I missed that. Will do an upgrade and post here if successful.
aaah that would make a lot more sense, i just checked, they removed surround support for vista a long time ago.
I was just about ask, why the hell you were using vista instead of Win7 (or even Win8.1, which is huge improvment from 8.0)?!
Please can you still help me, I have the same problem with it not appearing. I am running Windows 10 and I have a Geforce 750 Ti OC edition
Hi Majikal, welcome to the boards. Can you give us a bit more details? Which OS are you running, What resolution are the screens you are trying to use and which connectors are you using to connect the screens with?
You might want to have a look at this topic on the geforce forums; https://forums.geforce.com/default/.../-gtx-750-ti-surround-option-isn-t-available/ It seems a driver issue in Windows 10 for the 750 Ti cards. They suggest trying older drivers that were meant for Windows 8.1, however they work in Windows 10 and they give the surround option.

Thanks, I have the option now Just one thing, I was watching a tutorial and it said the configure surround will tell you to close some programs, which it did. However I can't find them. ShellExperienceHost.exe SearchUI.exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe I can't find them...
