X79 Nvidia Surround Availability
Looks like all those people that bought an X79 board and the new 3930K or 3960X processor are not able to enjoy Nvidia Surround. I am one of those people and it has been quite annoying for the past week and a half especially since all those people that have it know how enjoyable it is to play your games on 3 monitors. Either way, I talked with Nvidia, and it looks like there won't be an update before the 4 day weekend, and we'll have to wait till next week before we see a new driver update.

Thank you for the update! I am new here (from EVGA forums) and am one of those guys too who have a 3930k/Asus R4E sitting in front of me and no way to use Surround. Frustrated is an understatement.
Wishing you a great Thanksgiving weekend, even without surround

Yeah, we will have to live through Thanksgiving without Surround. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving as well! I'll keep this thread updated if I hear more back.

Wait, what? What does the platform have to do with the card and its drivers?

The Nvidia Drivers need to validate the motherboard before it supports key Nvidia features. Their latest Beta drivers did not validate it yet since those came out before the release date. They should still have it validated before release for reviewers so they could test it. My speculations are that they claimed performance improvements on the new drivers, yet there is not that much if any performance increase, so they are trying their best to improve it before they release it.
Either way, it's super annoying.Main System (X79 Beast):

I figured the validation is only for SLI which you can get around pretty easily. Kinda stupid they need it for 3D too.

SLI and 3D works, Surround doesn't work. It's when you have 3 monitors.
