GTX 460 728mb in SLI + Nvidia Surround

[Metsuna]

Hey guys, I currently have a one monitor set up using 2 EVGA GTX 460 728mb and I am really interested in doing a Nvidia Surround set up.

Do you guys think that my cards can handle 3 screens in 1080P? I know I won't be maxing out ALL the settings but I am very curious of how it will turn out.

Also, when setting up does it require anything special like Eyefinity does with the display port cable?

Setting it up should be easier as you only need the DVI ports and the cables that come with the monitors, as for whether your cards can handle it or not I can't say as I've not tried it.

Yes it will work. I don't know how easy it is to set up, but definitely you'll be needing to turn settings way down. The 768mb VRAM will limit texture size and you probably will have to forgo AA to say the least. Still, I've seen it running at computer stores with a single 6870 so at least you're way ahead of that.

if you are going for 3d surround then I would seriously recommend against it, because in addition to tripling your resolution, you are also halving your fps due to the 3d effect.

Yeah I'm not quite going as far as 3D, but it's good to know that my cards can atleast someone use 2D surround.

Surround Vision is also 2D.
