I was happily running nVidia surround on a 267.x (don't recall exact version) driver with my twin GTX470s and three Samsung 23" monitors and was outputting video to my TV with a 8400GS. Today I powered up the machine and the right monitor showed on image (blinking the "no input detected" error). I tried to disable and re-enable nVidia surround, but nothing helped - The right monitor was blacked out.
I managed to get all three monitors working independently, but I could not get nVidia surround to work. I removed the drivers, swept away all remaining registry crap, deleted the old driver folder, rebooted, downloaded the latest driver (270.61) and installed it with a clean install enabled. Now surround works, but I cannot select 5760x1080. It only lets me 54xx-ish X 1050. Needless to say, that's incredibly annoying.
I Googled up the issue and it seems to be I am not the only one having it. Problem: No solutions are offered anywhere I looked, except for getting each monitor detected independently prior to enabling surround. I tried this, and it did not work.
Someone suggested to try an older driver, so yet again, I uninstalled the driver, then downloaded 267.91 from guru3d. When I try to install it I get the following error: "cannot detect compatible graphics hardware".
W-T-F?!
I am trying yet older drivers now...
Has anyone run into anything like this before?
