Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hey guys ,
my 3 benQ XL2420t's arrived today and i set them up
I have them set up as . 1 monitor with Dvi - another monitor with Dvi - and my last monitor with Display Port
But when it came to setting up nvidia surround i could only go up to 4320x900
How do i fix this so i can go up to 5670x1080
I am running them of a Nvidia Gtx 680 (asus GPU tweek) model so can any one help me

NVIDIA SURROUND WHY Y U GIMME 5670x1080??

Are those monitors that are connected with DVI with a VGA cable and then a DVI Extender in the videocard?? Because I readed somewhere that VGA cabels limits on a specific resolution.
Maybe iam wrong :p

EDIT: just googled your problem and find this thread on the nvidia forums here. The nvidia forums are down on this moment so i had to view it in cache mode.

You can customize your resolutions using the ForceWare control panel. Make sure you use the sites widescreen calculator to figure out what ratio each monitor should be at. Also, nVidia's beta drivers updated today (304.79) and that should also help fix your problems well. if not, set the Anti Aliasing or turn on FXAA or TXAA.

If it doesn't work, just use the lower res and turn on Anti Aliasing a tad.

Suggestions I can make;

1 - Connect your Centre screen by Displayport and your Side screens by DVI and retry the Surround configuration through NVidia Settings. Bezel correction can be done later.

and/or

2 - Make sure you are running the latest 301.42 (or later) drivers from NVidia. I had horrendous trouble with Surround with Pre-300 drivers due to screen timings due to one of my screens having slightly different timings from the other two screens (and they were the same model, just built at slightly different times hence minor timing differences). Had to build a custom monitor driver for surround to work until the 300 series of drivers.

By the way, check the Monitor serial numbers to check if they do actually match up. If you bought 3 screens at the same time from the same dealer, you may not have 3 screens from the same batch.
