For 3D surround SLI is required, and the monitors have to be identical.

I am not 100% sure on this, but I am pretty sure you will only be able to do Nvidia Surround using the 2xDL-DVI and 1xDP output. You *MIGHT* be able to do 3D Vision Surround if you get an active Display Port to Dual Link DVI adapter, but these are somewhat expensive at ~$100 each. That money is better spent on more video card instead of an adapter imo. I would personally post on the EVGA forums if this is a must-have feature for you. The main restriction here is that 3D Vision Surround only supports 3D Vision Ready displays at the moment, and they only support 3D Vision over DL-DVI right now. I believe there are some rumors about 120Hz over Display Port or HDMI 1.4a in the future, but nothing certain on those fronts right now.

Personally, even if it is possible to run 3D Vision/Surround with just 1 card, I would not attempt to with just a single card. I'd say GTX 480/570/580 in SLI at the very minimum, ideally with the 2xVRAM model as you've selected. If you get a 2nd card for SLI that will naturally take care of any concerns about outputs, as you will have 4xDL-DVI which will satisfy the 3 necessary outputs for 3D Vision Surround.

Hope that helps.

Guess im understanding it right now?

With 2x EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD 2560MB it will work right?

Yeah that should work great, the extra VRAM will be appreciated in 3D Vision Surround, however in some games you may still get low FPS due to high GPU requirements for 3D Vision Surround. What displays are you planning to get? Just make sure they are 3 of the same 3D Vision Ready LCDs or supported projectors. If you need more specific info you may want to ask in the 3D Vision Surround sub-forum as more users there may be able to answer 3D Surround specific questions.

Thanks for the information! :D

Ill stick to this subforum for a while because I actulay experience fast anwsers now already instead to other forums and I knewed I should go to the Nvidia forums for this kind of questions.
But I like to know how I can speed up the FPS with using what hardware? The GPU`s Motherboard and the CPU will stay like it is now because I finaly have the vertification that this does work :) But there is just one more thing id like to know, what monitors should I get? My budget is around 900 for 3 monitors. And if this is too low, what is the lowest price then?

I was getting confused about the 120 Hertz and 3d screens. These seems like their totaly diffrent from each other. So, can I simply pick an 3D tv or do i really need a 120 Hertz tv and does this 120 Hertz tv needs to be 3d too? Or is this automaticly?

$900 budget may be a little on the low side for 3DVS, you are probably looking at closer to $1100 if you find a deal as the 23" displays are generaly in the $350 range. You can find what you need here, follow the link for 120Hz monitor for choices there: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-surround-system-requirements.html

For displays, you need true 120Hz input LCD displays with Dual-Link DVI input. Current 3D HDTVs do not support 120Hz input no matter what they advertise, but they can support 3DTV Play over HDMI. However, this means no 3D Vision Surround.

Personally, if I were in your position, I would go with just a single display first and leave the option open for 3D Vision Surround down the road. That way you can get a feel for performance, SLI, and 3D Vision without having to deal with the additional quirks of a surround set-up. A single large display might be the best way to go unless you are absolutely dead set on surround or already have a strong affinity to surround set-ups.

Going with 3D Vision Surround introduces a lot of issues and considerations simultaneously, so you have to be prepared to troubleshoot your own problems a lot of times and will always have to stay on top of hardware upgrades because of performance requirements:

[list]

[*]1) You will always need top of the line hardware, 2-3 way SLI of the fastest cards in each generation to keep up with new games. SLI can have its own issues to work through.
[*]2) 3x monitors means 3x commitment to whatever monitors you buy, will make it harder to upgrade to new monitors as tech develops.
[*]3) Triple monitor adoption and support is still poor in new games, as is 3D Vision, combine the two and you are looking at a lot of hit or miss situations even if one or the other is supported for a game. Be prepared to find your own community fixes with resources like WSGF.
[/list]

But that's why I suggested you check out the Surround sub-forum to get an idea of what people think about it. If you try just 3D Vision first keep in mind 3D Vision Surround will be roughly 3x the GPU requirements. The only way to improve performance is to add more cards for SLI (up to 3x on that board) or go with 2xGTX 590 for 4-way SLI. As you increase the number of moving parts however, you almost always get less scaling and efficiency while introducing more potential problems and things that can go wrong.

So long story short, I would go with one of the 27" 3D Vision 2 displays or maybe a checkerboard capable 3D HDTV and call it a day.

Going with 3D Vision Surround introduces a lot of issues and considerations simultaneously, so you have to be prepared to troubleshoot your own problems a lot of times and will always have to stay on top of hardware upgrades because of performance requirements:

[list]

[*]1) You will always need top of the line hardware, 2-3 way SLI of the fastest cards in each generation to keep up with new games. SLI can have its own issues to work through.
[*]2) 3x monitors means 3x commitment to whatever monitors you buy, will make it harder to upgrade to new monitors as tech develops.
[*]3) Triple monitor adoption and support is still poor in new games, as is 3D Vision, combine the two and you are looking at a lot of hit or miss situations even if one or the other is supported for a game. Be prepared to find your own community fixes with resources like WSGF.
[/list]

But that's why I suggested you check out the Surround sub-forum to get an idea of what people think about it. If you try just 3D Vision first keep in mind 3D Vision Surround will be roughly 3x the GPU requirements. The only way to improve performance is to add more cards for SLI (up to 3x on that board) or go with 2xGTX 590 for 4-way SLI. As you increase the number of moving parts however, you almost always get less scaling and efficiency while introducing more potential problems and things that can go wrong.

So long story short, I would go with one of the 27" 3D Vision 2 displays or maybe a checkerboard capable 3D HDTV and call it a day.
$900 budget may be a little on the low side for 3DVS, you are probably looking at closer to $1100 if you find a deal as the 23" displays are generaly in the $350 range. You can find what you need here, follow the link for 120Hz monitor for choices there: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-surround-system-requirements.html



For displays, you need true 120Hz input LCD displays with Dual-Link DVI input. Current 3D HDTVs do not support 120Hz input no matter what they advertise, but they can support 3DTV Play over HDMI. However, this means no 3D Vision Surround.



Personally, if I were in your position, I would go with just a single display first and leave the option open for 3D Vision Surround down the road. That way you can get a feel for performance, SLI, and 3D Vision without having to deal with the additional quirks of a surround set-up. A single large display might be the best way to go unless you are absolutely dead set on surround or already have a strong affinity to surround set-ups.

Oh, calculated to USD it is exeacly 1146,15 USD And about the SLI, I thought 3 monitors are runable with 2 GPU But I have a 3x SLI slot on this motherbord so I can always upgrade to 3-way SLI which is supported too by this motherboard :)

Well, lets explain this to the holland forums because their kinda discussing on why do you take 1100W power supply and why that 3xGPU sli motherboard and... why do you take that CPU? are you making high canculations or do ya want to videoedit?

Anywayz, ill make a new topic on the sub section then and start asking around here if this is good for 3d vision surround. Oh and really thanks for this man! Because these dutch guys are driving me nuts on chanching all the things XD
