680 Question need help.
- Thread starter EL_NEO
- Start date
The 680 supports 3 screens in surround and a 4th utility display.
Whether it can drive 3x 2D and a 120Hz 3D Vision screen is a different question however, I do not see why not but I would suggest finding someone else who has actually done it to confirm.
Remember the 120Hz screen will need to be connected via DVI (Which the 680 has 2 of) or DP (That it has 1 of) and not the HDMI.

Right ok thx. This is what I need to now. Which connections are need for what, (how to configure them ). Like 2d screens use 1dvi 1 dp and 1 hdmi, and the 3d use 1 dvi or other configurations
and I thought two screens were overkill.
Lol nothing is overkill if you can justify it.
Duno dude all questions nvidia need answer.
Well hopefully I will be able to answer this tomorrow evening.
Unless my card gets delayed in transit 
Completely separate desktop. What?
It's not like you have 2 mice and can use a totally isolated desktop.
It wont be clone mode as that would be useless. Clone displays the same as another output....hence the name. Commonly used for projection.
It will more than likely just be extended desktop. How else would you be able to move mouse cursor etc into it and use it?
nVidia are marketing it as a "Utility" display but it's possible due to having 4 outputs instead of less previously. It SHOULD work exactly like extended desktop does now with a monitor arrangement of:
x-4-x
1-2-3
the nVidia driver will surround the game over monitors 1,2 and 3 and windows will just treat monitor 4 as an extended one as normal.

Keep us up to date please dude. How many screens will you be running 3 or 4 then? Any in 3d?

Well, yes I understand it will probably be some sort of extended desktop. I am just hoping that it's not, and not clone mode either.
Surely you could setup hotkeys that move your mouse into the utility desktop when you need to. Just the way Nvidia are describing it as a utility display I was really hoping that they had come up with something amazing
Card delayed
Sorry to here that dude.
why dont you just get 2 extra 3d displays ?
Cuz you have to have 3 of the same. And they are £280 and hard to find them.
Cheers
I never answered your question about displays, well, I am currently just using one monitor and a plasma TV (the pioneer lx5090) My plan is to get 3 monitors and have the Pioneer as a 4 th display for email, movies etc. I am have 3 old crt monitors at the moment, and I will use them to test out these things before I purchase anything.

Cool sounds good m8. Hope it works out for you. Is your tv 3d or 2d ?
