Hi, I have looked around various forums and found conflicting information.
Ok I am on a zero budget so I am trying to get working what I have,
I have a supermicro x7dca-l motherboard with one pcix16 (gen1) and one pcix8 slot.
In the x16 I have a GTX295 Twin Board card, out of which I currently have two SVGA monitors (analog mode) and a third via HDMI to DVI in digital mode
When I try to enable the nvidia surround it fails asking me the move the monitor coming off the hdmi port to another port on the same card (there isnt one).
I am summizing it could be because x2 are analog and one is digital.
My question is this.... do I either a: plug in a 8800gt using a riser adapter to the x8 slot even though it will not be sli.... and use one of the outputs on that card... would that enable surround
or do I give up and just be satisfied in having three monitors plugged in and working as they are now... Only I really wanted this as a treat for the kids and me for gaming etc..
