Hey Guys,
I was wondering what all you need in order to have Nvidia surround? I do not wish to play in 3d with the glasses or anything I only want to play on 3 moniters as 1 big display. Do i still need to have sli'd video cards or can i do it off of my current PNY Geforce gtx 550ti? Furthermore, i wish to know if i have to have 3 of the exact same moniter or just 3 moniters in general? I am pretty tech savvy but nvidia surround and amd eyefinity is something that i have never really looked into untill now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You need SLI, NVidia cards can only drive 2 monitors per chip.
Monitor requirements for 2D surround are technically Same Resolution/Refresh and Sync polarity.
The latter is hard to guarantee if you do not have identical monitors, many horror stories in the 3D Surround forum which also covers 2D surround.
There used to be ways to work around by copying EDIDs or using custom resolutions, but these appear to be something of a crap shoot.
