Nvidia Surround

Hi,

In a couple of months I plan on going 3 screen 24" 1080.

The monitor I've got now is the LG E2442V (really not bad for a cheap screen) and want to get another 2.

I have a 770 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-202-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1750 Which i'll probably go SLI with.

I just want to know, what Ports should I use for surround and if possible link me to the appropriate Cables that i'll need.

Cheers.

Cheers for the response,

Yeah, I'll be grabbing another 770 and running them across the two.

What do people normally do when splitting the monitors across the cards, e.g Running one monitor on Card 1 and then 2 monitors on Card 2 vice versa or does it matter?

Cheers guys.

Sorry to bump this back up, I'm very tempted to go out and buy my third monitor, But since i'm still on the one 770, Can I use 2 dvi 1hdmi to get surround working? Only asking because Andy mentioned i'll need a hdmi to dvi cable.

Cheers.

Ah, my Monitor has an hdmi port, so I should be good to go.

Yes, Why didn't I do so this sooner, Just played Grid 2 on highish settings thinking 3 screens was pushing a single gpu but I was getting 130fps, and I love it.

Battlefield 3 64 player metro, continuous gunfire and explosions, never dipped under 70fps

wow surprising performance from a single card!

I really want to go surround but I like my games maxed out.

It just seemed ultra enthusiast to need to have gTX 780/Titan Sli

what other games do you have that you could try in surround?

Grid2 and Dirt 3 are the only racing games i've tried, I did have to drop some settings for these two weirdly, but nevertheless its still running them at high/Ultraish settings.

I never expected the 770 to perform so well, I'll definately be going SLI with them.

But what I do need is a proper triple stand for them, the cheapy stands on the monitors make them sit out of place terribly.

Any good less expensive then the XFX stands for 3 24" anyone?
