    Ok so I just added 3 monitors to my set up. Basically here is how it goes. I have three Dell monitors same size in a 1x3 pattern and above that I have a 42" monitor wall mounted above. So basically I want to be able to easily switch the three monitors on the bottom to a dynamic single monitor for super widescreen play in games like Elite Dangerous or other able games. Anyway I know I can do this with the help of the GeForce software to create the Surround monitor set up but it cuts off the upper larger monitor. I want that monitor to stay active and awake. What can I do in regards to this set up.

    Hi can you let us know the full model number of your GeForce card, it may be the card will not allow what you want, so we need to find the spec to see if it will or not.
    Thanks,

    Hi, from what I find in the user guid PDF, Here :-

    http://www.nvidia.com/content/geforce-gtx/GTX_770_User_Guide.pdf

    in section 5 it only mentions the ability to expand over three monitors.
    It may well be not able to re-compress the panorama into a fourth monitor.

    I am hoping one of our other staff may know a little more as I am no graphics expert and can only go by specifications and instructions.

    This is only a 2 GIG card and if you add together all the resolutions to me it would be too demanding for this card.
    My opinion you would need 2 x GTX 770's Cards in SLI.
    2x4GIG GTX770's even better.
