Nvidia Surround Mode - Any experience?
Posted: 27 Nov 2017, 14:44
Hey!
I'm trying to configure a GeForce 1080Ti in surround mode with two identical 4K capable monitors with not so great success.
The problem is that the screens are connected through a KVM system that can display 4K @ 30Hz per monitor however I really need 50hz and could go for 1920x1080 @50Hz per monitor, I can configure both monitors with that resolution in the Nvidia Control Panel. However as soon as I span them (Surround mode is what Nvidia calls it) I cannot choose to create a 3840 x 1080 output at any frequency, the driver only allows me to use the full resolution of both monitors creating a 7680 x 2160 output.
Trying to create a custom doesen't help since that option is disabled when in Surround mode.
Anyone had any experience with consumer-grade cards and span-modes to give me some input?
All the best,
Sam
