I have a Computer built with 3x Asus VG278H and 2x EVGA 670 4GB SC SLI running the 306.02 beta drivers and for the life of me cannot get the 3rd 3D monitor to enable into 3D when using surround. The other two monitors enable fine but the Third doesn't want to enable. The Monitors are all connected through Dual Link DVI cables. I have tried everything from a clean install of the drivers to trying completely different SLI configuration (2x EVGA 660 Ti) running 306.02 drivers for them. The problem persists with every setup and I cannot find a solution anywhere online and was wondering if someone or one of the admins could help me with my problem. I have tried changing monitors around, changing all ports around and all the monitors work fine and will all go into 3D when they are either the left or middle monitor on the surround settings but the right monitor does not enable. I even set the monitors to (1)(3)(2) with the middle monitor(3) being the right monitor and it didn't enable. So I know it isn't my monitors, DVI cables, or Graphics cards. It has to be the drivers. Anyone else encounter this problem or have a solution? All help is Greatly Appreciated!!!

Firstly, update to the latest WHQL drivers on nvidia's site. 306.23.

wow, I just checked the site last night for the drivers. Didn't think there was an update out already. I will try a clean install of this driver and see if it helps. Thank you!:)

Finally solved the problem!

I changed the 1st and 2nd monitor DVI cables to the bottom most card and the 3rd monitor to the DVI port on the Upper card, which I presumed to be the Primary card because it was labled card 1 in the Nvidia control panel and the bottom card was number 2, but I was wrong and card 2 was primary and 1 was secondary.

Also the bios display on start up is shown from the monitor plugged in to the upper cards DVI-I port.

A lot of assumptions led me to this problem but alas, it is resolved. I realize that this is probably a rookie mistake but this is my first multi monitor SLI build and I have learned a lot from my mistakes.

Thank you everyone who posted, for your time and knowledge. I hope to be able to help all of you one day. Thanks again!
