How to setup GTX 680 for Tripple Screens ?

[DecoySA]

Hi

I just got a GTX 680 to replace my Radeon 6970 graphics card and I'm wondering how i go about setting it up for triple screens ?

When i used eyefinity on my 6970 i had it setup as the following:

DVI - DVI (monitor 1)
DVI - DVI (monitor 2)
Active Mini Display Port to DVI (monitor 3)

Now with the 6970 you HAD to use the mini display port to get eyefinity to work properly, is this the case with the GTX 680 ?

The reason i ask is that the GTX 680 doesn't have a mini display port, it has a normal display port and thus i don't have a lead i can connect to it.

However... could i just have the third monitor going from HDMI - DVI and still have everything work ok ? or do i have to use the display port output ?

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers

It's pretty flexible - mine are all on DVI with the application monitor on HDMI.

Have a read of this...

Edit: Sorry that relates to SLI only, take a look at this link http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/3d-vision-surround-requirements-uk.html under the Connector Recommendations tab.

I am running triple screens on my 680 as follows:

DVI
DVI
HDMI-DVI (adaptor not included....)

You don't need to run any displayport to X adaptors to get Surround up and running on the 680.
