1) No.
2) Doesn't matter (or shouldn't matter).
3) Top card is the usually the one you plug monitors into when running SLI. If you are running Surround then one of the monitors must be plugged into the second card.

Thank you very much
When sli was plugged into 1st set of slots, the one close to backplate, and sli bridge writing from right to left according to backplate, i had red screen. When switched to 2nd set of slots and turned around sli bridge, seems to sorted the problem

Any of the above have any effect on 3d performance?

Rather random there.

Mine is on the first set of fingers nearest the exhaust and I can't remember the direction of the writing (possible SLI with the I nearest the top - I will check later).

As long as it works though.

Everything seems to be working just fine, apart from 3d. Can't get tridef to run battlefield3. When it starts, it runs split screen with identical images. Possibly nvidia doesnt like me using built in emitter. Anyone has any idea?

Believe it's blocked in nVidia's recent drivers as they want you to purchase their 3D Vision Kit.

If its showing split screen identical images, thats side by side 3D. Change your screen to 3D s-b-s mode and get your glasses on!

Isnt that a bit gay?

Cheers for that, it worked. But screen resolution is one forth of the screen, i mean screen area is top left corner of the screen, rest 3 corners are black. But 3d works. Any advise?

Sorry not really. I'm no expert i just have a similar screen, and recognised your description. Trial and error with the settings on the screen, in Tridef, and on the card is all i can suggest.

Tridef used to work fine on my Samsung with my old 480. I've not tried it yet with my new 670 and recent drivers.

FYI 3d Vision using the samsung screen, glasses and an NV card is possible with the well known hack.

TriDef OEM doesnt work, but full tridef works, problem is its 14days trial
is it the one where i need to spoof emitter? i did that and nvidia couldnt recognize monitor as 3d.. crazy
