[quote name='ImNutz4NvSLI' post='992071' date='Jan 30 2010, 02:08 PM']Well, considering the technology hasn't been released yet, it's hard to say,...
But, the general rule of thumb is that for more than 2 Displays to function at once you would need an additional card. Since the GTX295 is not "TrueSLI" I believe you will be limited to the 2 display's. The GTX295 may be a dual GPU card, but that's where the similarities between it and a trueSLI setup stop, outwardly the GTX295 is just like any other single GPU based card, including it's connections.

What are you talking about, its exactly the same as SLI (not sure what this True SLI nonsense is reminds me of the days Nvidia was trying to flog its nForce 200 chips), to be even more precise it IS SLI.
Its amazing what changing a name to "Multi-GPU" can do.
The original GTX 295 was basically 2 cards sandwiched together with the SLI "dongle" being a ribbon cable on the inside of the card, the new GTX 295 is still pretty much like 2 cards but they are stuck on the same PCB with the SLI connection being part of the PCB. The 2 GPU's or cards (even the single PCB has 2 cards worth of components they are just on 1 PCB) run in SLI, its not some "fancy" Multi-GPU mode, its just SLI, exactly the same as SLI'ing 2 GTX 275's. Same goes for ATI's Dual GPU cards they are just running in Crossfire, its not like Crossfire it is just crossfire, they again need 2 cards worth of components on the single PCB then they add a chip so they can Crossfire them, you install Crossfire drivers to run a single ATI Dual GPU card.
If Nvidia surround needs SLI to function there is no reason why the original Dual PCB GTX 295 couldnt utilise 3D surround, it has 3 monitor connections (2 DVI and 1 HDMI), the single PCB GTX 295 only has 2 mointior connectors so it may not be possible on that card even though it runs in SLI.
When you install a single GTX 295 and install the Multi-GPU drivers do you honestly think its installing anything other than SLI drivers? You can even activate the SLI indicator and see the GTX 295 operate in SLI.

the original gtx295 can run 3 screens at once , im running it that way with 3 nec 2470 screens using softTh and widescreen fixxer , playing cod mw2 .
but its a pain to figure out config settings for different games . hope the driver release when fermi comes out will make this work with a click of a few settings.

the questions is this? how are you going to run 3 120hz displays that require dual link DVI for each monitor on a 295 with 2 DL-DVI and 1 HDMI (1.3 maybe) connector.
As far as I know the HDMI connector does not supply the needed resolution at 120hz. Unless they have made some developments to the tech/software wise.

You are right, 3 120hz screens are not supported natively on the GTX295.
What I meant by "TrueSLI" is just a variation of definition.
My definition of "TrueSLI" is a system that includes an SLI capable mobo along with 2(or more) seperate and distinct cards linked with a bridge.
I can't believe he went as far as to explain what a GTX295 was to me, that's comical. Of course a "GX2" style card is in fact SLI, it's just for old timers such as I am, going all the way back to the voodoo 2 days where SLI stood for "Scan Line Interleave" , a MultiGPU card is simply "SLI in a box" in the same way that "Home Theater in a box" invokes a "cheesy" and subpar performance feeling to me, a GTX295 makes me feel the same way. It also represents the majority of noobs that know nothing about SLI and simply buy a GTX295 because it's the most expensive card and really have no idea what they are getting into .. these are the people that buy first and research after the fact, after the issues are present that they didn't think to consider BEFORE buying.
The only place for GX2 style cards thus far are for those that don't have an SLI capable mobo, or for benchmarkers with QuadSLI or for folding farms. People that are truly in the know and are true gamers have always prefered True 2-way or 3 way SLI over any form of GX2 style config. This is mostly due to the fact that a set of GTX285's in SLI will always outperform a GTX295.
Now, if Nvidia sees it fit to repeat history and issue a "GX2" style Fermi based card, perhaps they will get it right this time, kind of like Asus did with the Mars.
@Rkuo, you are right, I did do the math wrong.. sorry about that. I will correct it.

1 50" Screen = 1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600 pixels
3 24" screens = 5760 x 3240 = 18,662,400 pixels
Or if it will handle say 2560 x 1600 displays (which it should)
7680 x 4800 = 36,864,000 pixels
Yeah baby...

You did the math wrong on that. You should only multiply across the x axis with 3 screens. You're doing the math for 9 screens (3x3).

This is mostly due to the fact that a set of GTX285's in SLI will always outperform a GTX295.
Now, if Nvidia sees it fit to repeat history and issue a "GX2" style Fermi based card, perhaps they will get it right this time, kind of like Asus did with the Mars.
@Rkuo, you are right, I did do the math wrong.. sorry about that. I will correct it.
