Yeah, and it's all bad. I cannot get this to work. I have the surround monitors plugged into both DVI ports on the first card and 1 DVI port on the second. The 4th monitor I have tried on the second DVI connector on the second card, also tried HDMI on either card and no joy. Very frustrating. I posted on the Nvidia support forums asking if it's even possible.

It's not possible from my experiments either. GTX680 appears to be required for 3x1+1 setup.

could be possible with softh?

SoftTH introduces the need for extra GPUs, though, so you might as well just run Surround then an extra accessory display on another GPU and avoid the issues that SoftTH presents with modern games.

For FSX I am using 3x 3d projectors of a gtx 590 card and have an additional gt440 for the instruments.
This works fine in full screen or windowed mode but If I add a second monitor to the gt440 giving me 5 monitors in total and I try to load FSX I get all black screens with a bit of widows desktop poking through on the surround screens.. and I have to remove tht 5th monitor and reboot to get back to normal.. I also tried using a USB driven 7" touch screen monitor but I got the same effect.. Have not found a fix yet..Currently using the 296.?? driver..

so i have 2 gtx 580 amp2 by zotac and no space another third card, any ideas for me how i could run a fourth monitor while still being able to play 3 monitor sorround?
just want to see the temperatures, nothing fancy...

The image is an example of waht I am trying to achieve, the 3x 3d monitors are GT750 projectors, off a gtx 590 card, adding the gt 440 card allowed me to get the main instruments panel up, and I use a 24" touch screen for that. This all works fine in FSX full screen and windowed mode.. But if I try to add the the monitors in red, for the radio stack and the GPS it all goes a bit pete tong..I was suprised the usb monitor gave me issues I thought that would have worked..

Maybe try a usb monitor, afterall its the only way I can think you can add a 4rth monitor if you dont have room for another card..

USB monitors, as I found to my detriment, have their own issues - usually with SLI/CrossFire and/or other multiscreen implementations. Drove me nuts trying to figure out why a USB monitor wouldn't work...

Hey Ghetto, I am also setting up this for my flightsim cockpit. In your current setup - how were your FPS when you dragged your panels/gauges to that 4th display? Currently I am running my 4th off a 2nd PC networked which works good. But I wanted to try them all on the same PC with two 580's just to see the FPS impact. Guess I wouln't be able to. 2 680's are way overkill for this experiment plus way over $$ for FSX. ha!
