Oh, I see. So it's in the Nvidia control panel settings to do this. I always wondered how to combine all the monitors together as one, without the actual extended display setting from Windows. A lot of people are misinformed of the purpose of this function. Basically it allows you to extend multiple displays as one gigantic display. Like the ones you see in sporting events, restaurants, shows, etc. When surround configuration is set, Windows treat it as one big screen instead of the actual individual screen itself. Try maximizing a UA-cam video the way it is now. It only makes it big on one screen. Now enable surround configuration from the Nvidia control panel and maximize your Window. What does it do? It maximizes and spreads across all your connected monitors combined.
I don't have any monitor besides a laptop but always wondered how this worked.Thanks for illustrating, I wish your PC bezel would not have created a problem for you. :)
I tried this with a 34" 3440x1440 monitor and a 16" 1600x2560 monitor (in portrait mode) hoping to get 5040x1440 or at least 4320x1440 resolution by downscaling the 16" monitor to 900x1440, but unfortunately, the only option was 3840x1080 which is overall lower resolution than the 34" monitor itself. And you still can't watch videos in full screen with both monitors, only on one.
I have a ROG laptop and I and 2 monitors connected. 1 is HDMI the other is a USB HDMI ADAPTER. I am unable to find the surround option and there is only one monitor shows. What should I do, any advice?
It’s because the USB adapter isn’t getting it’s video through the video card, only the hdmi is. If you have a Mini DisplayPort you can get an adapter from that to hdmi and have two monitors powered off the graphics card. Additionally, if theres a type C port associated with the graphics card it may work as well, but you’ll have to do your own independent research to find out if your type c port is compatible. Good luck!
Is a Four-Monitor Array doable? I fly open cockpit WW1 aviation sims and I've seen three-monitor setups where a center monitor shows the view ahead and a second and third monitors angled back on the sides show the view to either side; blended to merge when you rotate your head to look around with a head tracker like Track IR. I've also seen four-monitor setups with one at top center, but only used to display the desktop; not the sim. QUESTIONS Is it possible to assign a fourth monitor (above the center monitor and angled back) to show an overhead view of the sky in an "open cockpit" aviation simulation? Will the "wrap around" setting for three multiple monitors also see a fourth one (atop center) as "extra real estate" on which the range of the game image can be extended? I'd like to build an array that will do that. Any info?
not unless the game specifically supports it. OSs and graphic cards only support rectangular screens for now, and some actually only support certain specific resolutions
1. update your driver and restart the computer 2. are you on a laptop? 3. are your monitors connected to the graphics card or the mainboard? Which option is missing? "Display" is there, right? "Set up multiple displays" is there? and at the bottom, "Surround spanning options" is there after scrolling down? That is the one. You can also just press "3D settings" and then "Configure Surround, PhysX"
wait, so how does windows treat the new resolution? can the taskbar now span the full length of both monitors without simply duplicating itself on the second monitor?
Nvida probably quietly got rid of it like they did with support for 3d TVs because they want to push some other product. I've been trying to research this same thing via 3rd party software and learned they have some shit called "mosaic technology" they are trying to push to their high end market. railroading their own product to make money. Classic nvidia shit right there.
do you have anyadvice sometiem when lsiting to music only one ear gets all the sound and the other hear jhas one sound msing lets say drums but still plys the guitar
Hey, i cant see my displays at nvidia control panel at all. I have ROG Notebook with AMD Ryzen 9 as onboard graphic and nvidia 3050 ti as second. Where can i set it to, that it should use the nvidia card as default to see the display settings at CP?
If it's a laptop then it could be that it is blocked so you cant if it is a tower than make sure you are using the ports on the GPU not the motherboard either way the discrete graphics could be messing with it
@@lDARKILL3RlThanks for your feedback but I have already solved the problem. My system is really a laptop and not a tower. In the bios, as you said, you can't change the default GPU, so it always uses the onboard GPU as default. What I have done now is, i still can't see the displays in the Nvidia control panel but I can see them in the AMD Radeon software. I have installed the latest driver and started AMD Radeon software. You have to be careful with the driver installation, because Windows automatically downgrades the AMD driver, after that you can't start AMD Radeon Software anymore because the driver version doesnt match. You have to disable the "automatic driver installation of Windows" in registry or group policies and update the driver again. If it is done, there is in the Radeon software the feature AMD Eyefinity and with it you can set the displays to one big display and the Nvidia GPU also recognizes it automatically as one big display because the configuration of AMD has priority here . So, thats the way how i solved it but thanks anyway :)

outstanding beginning! I knew immediately what the video is about. Thank you.
I love you so much because you have seemingly two different monitors. SAME. We getting ultra wide on the cheap

Amazing! Battlefield-2042 on 2-2K 32' Curved monitors now looks amazing! Thank you!
can you turn it of?
Amazing just what I wanted, Thanks Soo much!!✊✊
Can you help black screen coming on sides
@@Rajni-mv1ns on the game itself go to game settings or game options and increase display size
@@JosueMartinez-ww1vj
Did not work selected every resolution
@@JosueMartinez-ww1vjdoes this still work??
@@JorgeCortez-zu2bfYes!
Thanks for that, this will be handy with It Takes Two which forces split screen. even when playing online!
Worked just fine
I tried this with a 34" 3440x1440 monitor and a 16" 1600x2560 monitor (in portrait mode) hoping to get 5040x1440 or at least 4320x1440 resolution by downscaling the 16" monitor to 900x1440, but unfortunately, the only option was 3840x1080 which is overall lower resolution than the 34" monitor itself.

use magnifier to zoom in on both it works, just it best for cinematic shit
best video ever thank u so much
Thank you, I had a ultrawide monitor but it's Samsung so it's shit, now I play on three old tv's
This does not work?? Nivida surround is greyed out for me. Any idea why?
Very nice, I broke my monitors because of this tutorials. Thank you.
skill issue. its working for me.
yeah hard skill issue how do you even break it xD@@asdasd-zl5vr
someone knows if i can move the center to the left so i dont have the crosshairs with that problem.
Black screen coming in the side bro what did you do i want to experience it too

On me Surround was invisible (un tickable) (I disabled optimus from the bios for my laptop. ) I wanted to use laptop screen with external screen.
Might be nice for movie watching.
i have a different setup, my 1st monitor is display cable to gpu and the 2nd monitor is connected VGA motherboard so i dont know how to do it.
Three monitors and the FOV settings ingame @ maximum..

awesome!!! thank you
Thank you !
Can you please tell me why when I make it full screen on UA-cam it only goes to one screen why can watch UA-cam on one big screen?
I have 2 27" curved Samsung monitors with a 970 graphics will Nvidia Surround work on it
If you add a third monitor then your center monitor will look right, but that is not an easy solution
does this still work? because there is no option for surround in nvidia control panel
1. update your driver and restart the computer
2. are you on a laptop?
3. are your monitors connected to the graphics card or the mainboard?
Which option is missing? "Display" is there, right? "Set up multiple displays" is there? and at the bottom, "Surround spanning options" is there after scrolling down? That is the one.
You can also just press "3D settings" and then "Configure Surround, PhysX"
@@opensourcebug8028 same thing yeah and i'm on laptop with updated drivers and there is no "Surround spanning options" but still thnks for the viideo
wait, so how does windows treat the new resolution? can the taskbar now span the full length of both monitors without simply duplicating itself on the second monitor?
it should, in theory, idk why that didnt happen in the vid
Nice... thank you
So do you have certain games that just seems to stretch it, like NBA2k12? What are the best settings for dual monitors
thank you very much :D
Great now i cant turn it off bc nvidia control panel keeps crashing👍
what gpu are u using?
may work with 1650 even if connectors ar not the same? (mix DP & HDMI)
i am try this, its work dude
1650 fit to screen how he did?? At 2:00
got it thanx
If i turn off the 2nd monitor, will it auto go back to the normal settings on one screen?
Doesnt work anymore. Windows controls all graphics settings nativly and not the NVIDIA control panel anymore. Its basically useless now.
Then how to do it
Any update on how to do it now?
Nvida probably quietly got rid of it like they did with support for 3d TVs because they want to push some other product.

You can still expand the monitors using nvidia
It still works I just did it
I dont have the display section??
Is there any way to realign the reticle slightly to the either side ?
my monitors after turning off surround went really darker, any help please?
might be a lot better with 3 screens tho
How he did fit to screen????? 2:00
do you have anyadvice sometiem when lsiting to music only one ear gets all the sound and the other hear jhas one sound msing lets say drums but still plys the guitar
plz help , its not working on my nvidea gt 730 , their is no configure surround option
Same
Same
The card is too old
can you do the opposite? i.e. turning one screen into 2?
this doesnt work on my valorant for some reason
Can you only have 60hz on your monitors when surround is enabled?
How do u do it on xbox
Has to be same monitors to do this right?

Do not Do it, now my games opens on the wrong monitor and the invidia settings are wrong now, thank you.
so.... you want the division between monitors exactly in the middle of your screen?
