Alienware M17x R4 D-SUB output

[Voicon]

Hi All

I have 2 screens connected to my laptop using the HDMI output and Display Port, I really wanted to buy a third screen but where do I put it

I know D-SUB can support 1080p resolutions but does the D-SUB on the M17x R4 allow it and if so will all 3 monitors be using the GTX680M and how owuld it perform?

Any advice/information would be appreciated.

Hi roughavoc

I have 2 24" Asus Slim Bezel 1080p screens connected right now what I wanted to do was connect a third but then I won't use the laptop screen while it is on my desk so it will be running at 5760 X 1080, I just wanted to make sure it will work before I buy another.

Not sure how the 680M would work with this resolution during games?

Thanks

Was that with everything on high settings?

I am not that bothered about playing games, I only play very occasionally but it would be cool to use all 3 monitors but not essential.

I just found an old LG 23" 1080p monitor and plugged it in, it runs fine with the 3, just got to try a game now, I am installing BF3 so I will let you know soon, I am not expecting good things though

Sadly it doesn't, I had a look around and the GTX680M does not support surround monitors so you don't get the option

Might have to break out my desktop again for gaming

Is it an AMD eyefinity only kinda thing?
How did Hexus manage to get three screens on the 680 Desktop S:

The 680 desktop has surround support (like eyefinity), the 680m doesn't.

I have a 6970 lightning in my desktop so I think I will use that for gaming using eyefinity.
