3D Surround issue with Displayport to DL DVI adapter (title edit)
Hi all, new member here. I would really appreciate some help with this issue as I've scoured endless forums with no success.
In my new setup I have a single GTX 780 with 3 x Asus VG278H 3D monitors with in-built emitters. All are connected with dual-link DVI (the third with a display port to DVI adapter).
In single screen mode (centre screen), 3D works fine, as does the emitter. As soon as I enable surround, the emitter no longer works when using the NVidia tests. In game (iRacing), the 3D is clearly working on all 3 screens, but the emitter isn't working.
As I've never had it working, I don't know if there is an issue due to all 3 screens having inbuilt emitters. I assume only the emitter on the centre screen would be activated, but none of them are.
Please help!

I think I've found the problem. I have bought a passive adapter and it seems I need an active one. Can someone please confirm this is correct?
Also, can I have some advice on which active adapter to get. Some draw power from usb, others directly from the video card.
Thanks!
The Asus VG278 3D Displays are Active, check your glasses, are they the ones you have to charge up?? If so you have Active, if not then its passive. Active is much better and clearer in depth and vision. I run 2 of them and I only get one in 3D the driver does not support spanning at this time. Though it might, I just have never been able to get it to make a 3900 x 1080 span and make it work. I run Dual Link cables that came with the Displays. Running 2 MSI GTX 770 Gamer Editions SLI

Tika has misinterpreted your question. "Active" in this case has nothing to do with the glasses (though they are active glasses).
You're on the right track with the adapter, but only some of them seem to work. This will cover everything you need to know.

Thanks Pirate, that tutorial was very helpful. I purchased a Bizlink xt625 which is not sufficient for my monitor's clocking speed of 285 MHz. I'll have to return it when it arrives.
The Bizlink KS10014 supports up to 330MHz so that should do the job.
I have to say, it's kind of disappointing that the extent of GeForce's support regarding this issue is "Check your monitor's manual for supported 3D connectors". It really shouldn't have been this difficult to find a solution. Nevertheless, thanks for your help, it has been invaluable.
