Geforce 295 working in SLI and 3D vision surround
Guys,

I have a GEFORCE GTX 295 card and I would like to use that with 3 x Samsung 22" 120Hz screens for 3D Vision Surround. I wanted to purchase another GTX 295 and then have them working in SLI, however, bit confused over Nvidia's min reqs for this.

Can anyone please confirm if I can do this, as I don't want to splash out on 2 x GTX 400 cards


Thanks

quad sli does not work in 3d yet- most of us jumped the 295 quad sli ship for the 480sli because of this. Maybe it will work in the future..

System:

Intel I7 920 overclocked to 4ghz

Asus Rampage Extreme II

2 Ge-force 480 in SLI

GTX 295 PhysX Card

12gb ddr3 2000mhz ram

Intel SSD in RAID 0

BR RW

1000w Sony surround sound

NVIDIA 3D Vision



3d displays tested:



Mitsubishi 65" DLP 3d HDTV (good old 1080p checkerboard since 2007!!!)

Panasonic VT25 (nice 2d but I returned it due to cross talk)

Acer H5360 720p on 130" screen (the best 3d)

23" Acer LCD monitor (horrible cross talk- sold it)

Samsung 65D8000

Yes, the 200 series cards in SLI config will work when the driver is eventually released. There is NO 3D surround as yet.

Hi Guys,

Sorry, should have made myself clearer.

I do know that I have to wait for the Nvidia 256 driver for 3D surround vision. However was not clear about what they said on the website.

So are you saying that when 256 driver is released, I will be able to use 295 x 2 cards with three 120hz screens in full 3D. Is that a positive yes :0)

This is the lnk I am referring to: [url="http://www.nvidia.com/object/3DV_System_Requirements_Surround_Technology.html"]http://www.nvidia.com/object/3DV_System_Re...Technology.html[/url]


Cheers

The problem is that Quad SLI (2x295 is not supported or not working now).

Yeah i think what were getting at is, the 3d surround drivers will be released soon but in oder to support 2 295's u would need quad-sli support, which at the current time there is none. (for 3d vison)

So unless 3d surround also comes coupled with a driver release that fixes/enables (or whatever) Quad sli it wont work. In theory.

That the way i see it anyways.

hey,
for now all we know is that you can use that gtx 295 for 3D vision Surround. but there is no support for Quad so hold on on buying that other gtx295 for now.

# GPU support (NVIDIA SLI or multi-GPU cards are required)

o GeForce GTX 480, 470, 285, 280, 275, 260

Aren't the current beta 197.55 (for GTX200s) and 197.75 (for GTX400s) making tri and quad SLI working?

They said you only need *1* GTX 295 to do 3DVS but I am not sure how that is going to work yet seeing as the 295 only has 2 outputs.

If he has the dual pcb then he can do 3DVS.

I'd rather have 3d vision than surround. Going back to flat 3d doesn't compare, even if you do have it on 3 monitors.
