Hey helifax is this info still corect or is the info here in this thread correct https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/571045/3d-vision/-tutorial-review-i-want-to-do-3d-vision-surround-but-my-damn-gpu-has-2-dvi-and-1-dp-what-can-/. I just shelled out a heap of money And am pulling my hair out trying to get my setup working. I have the bizlink dual link powered adapter and on the screen that is connected to the adapter in 3d sorround mode the 3d on that screen is terrible major crosstalk and just generally wrong any help is much appreciated I have a single 780ti thre VG278HE monitors and windows 8.1

Ok strangest thing it is now wroking with the bizlink adapter I will explain:
Three screens left one is furtherest from pc case and is always the one giving trouble and was also the one connected to the bizlink adapter.
The DVI cables I am using all came with the screens so identical. Now first thing I tried was moving screens to see if the monitor was faulty so I swapped the left and middle screens same thing the left screen was not working correctly.
Second thing I did was take a screen shot to see if video card was faulty but as long as I viewed the screenshot on the middle or right screen the picture was fine, as soon as I dragged 3d screenshot to left side screen the picture would distort.
So next thing I tried was swapping cables I swapped the right hand screen dvi cable with the left hand screen same thing 3d image was corrupt :(
Ok gotta be software I thought now I spent best part of the day playing with software driver setting refresh rate resolution 3d vision setup wizard single screens setup, multi seperate screen setup and sorround setup and reinstalling all nvidia software(4 times to be exact :() all to no avail, I also found a post stating with the bizlink adapter sometimes usb port did not provide enough power to run the adapter tried a usb external power adapter but made no difference.
So...... This morning I decieded to try a different screen with the adapter voila perfect 3d cant be the adapter so that has basically ruled everything out, nothing is causing this(yes I did a full virus scan on pc as well) so I kept the right screen connected to the adapter and connected the left hand screen straight to video card. The cable is at full stretch from left hand screen to pc and is the reason I didnt try it earlier(the cable length on the adapter gave the dvi cable a bit of slack)
So now I have a working tripple screen 3d setup working but none the wiser as to why it is now working. perhaps there was tension on the bizlink adapter and that was causing it Thanks for listening and the help cheers

Based on your description and experiments, it sounds like it might have been a loose connection. That's the idea behind plug and unplug all items to 'refresh' the connections. Over time you can get oxidation on pins that block the signals just enough.
If you want to understand it further, swap the cables back as the counter-experiment. Just like science. :-> When something works, it's usually really informative to go back to a known failing case and make sure it still fails.
For OS, it depends upon your needs, but in general Win 7 is going to be more stable and debugged for edge stuff like 3D and Surround. OS 8.1 is completely busted for 3D from what I can tell, because Microsoft changed the underlying adapter model. OS 8 is probably OK, not too changed from Win7 model.
My recommendation is always to only change stuff if there is something compelling pushing you. If something in 8 or 8.1 is compelling, make the switch. If something is busted in Win7 that might be fixed, make the switch. Otherwise, you just sign up for a lot of early adopter debugging. Which can be fun in a different way, but is a different game.
