Can I span games across 3 monitors with my laptop - G55VW?

Hey guys,

I just recently purchased an Asus G55VW laptop and it has an Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M video card. It has 3 video outputs, VGA, Mini-Display Port, and HDMI. I was able to get it to span multiple desktops across 3 1080p external monitors. I was wondering if it's possible to get it to play games by spanning the video across 3 monitors? I couldn't find the option in the Nvidia Control panel... headscratch.gif

TIA,

grecinos

I did. From the research that I've done, apparently there's a trick to getting it to work. You need to be able to span all three monitors as if it were one huge desktop. ATI/AMD cards have this feature, called Eyefinity. I can't find the equivalent feature in Nvidia's Control Panel. I find it hard to believe that Nvidia doesn't have this feature for their modern video cards. Perhaps the market just isn't ready for it yet? sad.gif

How about checking out nVidia Visual Surround for your GPU? winknudge.gif

I tried searching on Google and Nvidia's site. It seems that Visual Surround is only available on the latest GPU's. cry.gif I wonder why Nvidia is so slow to adopt this feature. ATI/AMD has had it for the past 3 years. SHAME ON YOU NVIDIA!
