Nvidia Surround & monitors (connector question)

[oweneades]

Hi all,

I thought this would be better in here rather than the monitors sub forum (mods please move if you feel necessary).

I am now looking at Nvidia Surround on what will be GTX460 SLI and I just have a quick question surround the monitors. Now I know you have to run dual cards due to the lack of outputs however I just want to make sure what inputs the monitors require to get it working.


Do the monitors have to have DVI input (thus DVI-DVI) or can the input be VGA (D-SUB) with DVI-VGA adaptors on the card?

I already have one 22" monitor and would prefer it if I could use it again for the Surround setup (I am doing it on a budget). Unfortunately it only has a VGA input, hence I don't know if I can use it or now.

I assume the above should be ok but I want to make sure before parting with any cash.

Cheers

Yeah

Supports any three digital or analog connectors

good to go.

IIRC all connectors have to be same type i.e all vga or all digital.

Eyefinity can be run with both analogue and digital signals. Is it Nvidia Surround only feature then?

Haven't tested on the latest drivers but on release when I tried it I got an error message telling me all displays have to be the same type vga or digital when trying with mis-matched monitors.
