Hardware & Technical Triple monitor setup - Something is wrong

[TiggerX]

Hi,

i got 3 monitors, all 1920*1200 resolution on a GTX 670SC.
ED works ok when i enable nVidia surround, but nVidia surround is just horrible when it comes to working on the machine and i hate the switching back and forth.
Luckily nVidia Surround offers the feature (automatically really) to inject the resolutions spanning multiple monitors into the games. So I opt for that, run my games that i want on triple screen (primarily EVE and iRacing) on that resolution.
No that doesnt work with ED, the resolution is only offered when surround is active. When i exit Elite, disable surround and start Elite again, it starts in the desired resolution, but just before the "Frontier" logo comes up, the client switches to 1920*1080 and thats it.

Now, I have to add that i do NOT have the Gamma, only the Combat Trainer for now. Might be something with that (hopefully) or am I missing a trick here?

Cheers!

I've got 3 monitors and it works flawlessly with AMD's Eyefinity. I have a profile saved with a keybind which automatically puts me into 5200x1050 then when I just start the game and it all works fine, so it's likely an issue your side or with Nvidia rather than the game.

Ctrl alt R is the nvidia shortcut to enable/disable surround, or ctrl alt S to enable/disable 3 screens (not sure what the difference is tbh). Might save you some time. Personally i couldn't go back to a single screen after using 5760 pixels.

Edit: Might be the other way around, fwiw.

I've updated now to the latest drivers (thanks for that, I tend to forget about em).
Still the same, working fine with surround activated, but the resolution stops working when its disabled again.
Dont have the issues in other games I use triple screens on. All suggestions welcome #
