Ok wow...yes it works and it is slightly buggy.
The way it compensates for the bezels is it creates a custom resolution and it works perfectly.
Quick impressions since it's almost 6am and I need sleep.
Played WoW a few minutes...ran great but maybe stuttered a bit sometimes. Didn't really play it long enough.
Played Age of Conan and it ran amazing. I've been playing it with all the details maxed lately and when I changed the resolution, I lowered AA to 4x just incase and it ran at 60fps.
Tried Bad Company 2 but I was getting weird textures...like you couldn't see anything passed your gun because it looked like a mess of broken textures.
Tried NFS: Shift and it ran perfect.
I'm going to mess around with it more tomorrow but buggy or not, the leaked drivers are real and nvidia surround is here. I just can't wait until a 3D Vision driver to try that out too

Dude it has 3D Vision. I'm playing in 3D Vision Surround right now. Batman:AA and NFS:S are incredible in 3DVS.

You are either lying and overhyping this or don't know the difference between 3d surround and simple surround.

I'm gonna go with one of the most heart-breaking trolls in recent memory.
Not willing to believe this is real, 2 of my monitors are currently off and blank doing nothing.

Wow, I'm a liar now. I don't know why it says that. I'm not using HDMI for my displays, I'm using dual link DVI on all of them. I'm guessing that message is in relation to 3D TV Play which doesn't use 3D Vision but a TV's native 3D functionality over HDMI 1.4.
I posted in game screenshots in 3D on the Nvidia forums.
How about next time don't be a dick and call somebody a liar when you don't know what you're talking about? Especially with that quote in your sig.

After some hunting around seems legit. Any mention if the x64 drivers will be released? Can I install these 32-bit drivers on my 7-ultimate?

Well it's a leaked drivers. So it's probably still buggy as hell. Displaying weird errors, glitches, bugs, problems, etc is expected if you test out beta/leaked drivers.

This is great. Please do report back on performance. Also, would love to see further Configure screens of the GUI...
Now, for God's sake, someone post the 64-bit version.
Update: these drivers have been confirmed as working over at Overclockers and Guru3D... I expect we'll see reports back on performance shortly. Goddamn, someone post the 64-bit version (the original post site mentions the'll be posted shortly http://www.vortez.co.uk/contenttell..._v25676_for_windows_7vista_32_bit_leaked.html).

We aren't. I admit I was being short with my first comment, but after looking at it seems like the place I'd expect Nvidia to be with a beta. I think they are desperately trying to get as many games working as possible to avoid any possible backlash.
Anyhow, if the 64-bit comes out, I will definitely try it, beta or not.

Actually... that's telling him his monitors aren't "3D Vision" compatible i.e. they don't do 120hz which is normal since he is using 3x Syncmasters. That notice has nothing to do with 3D Surround.
Let's clarify things so no one is throwing out unwarrented lier accusations:
3D Vision = Feature providing 3D game support. A 120hz monitor is normally required for this.
3D Surround = Multi-monitor spanning similar to ATI's Eyefinity
3D Vision Surround = 3D game support and multi-monitor spanning.
The guy's not lying and isn't overhyping. These drivers support 3D Surround (although I've yet to see any real testing).
Sigh. Let me try this again.
I am playing in 3D VISION SURROUND with two GTX 480's and three Samsung 2233RZ displays which are, in fact, 3D Vision Ready.
I took a pic since apparently that's worth a thousand words.
Apologies for the cluttered desk but please notice that:
- my monitors say 3D Vision Ready on the lower-right-hand corner
- The game is running in 3D Vision as noted by the 3D Vision "in-game compatibility" info
- I'm running in surround because there are multiple displays

So these drivers give you the whole feature set... 3D Surround and 3D Vison Surround? Good stuff. LOL at the poor 5870 discarded on your desk like yesterday's trash...
I can live with some reduced performance while nV irons out the game compatibility this month -- I'd just be happy for the next month being able to play a couple games and use my three monitors in multi span. Bring on the 64-bit driver

I can pull together two GTX260's to test this out if we get a 64bit leak
Yep, the whole thing. Including a bezel-compensation feature that is much better than AMD's, IMO.
Are you watercooling 3x 480's? I'll probably end up doing the same but I want to keep it internal to my 800D. How much radiator does it take to cool 3 of those bad boys?

The bezel compensation is exactly the same from what I've heard. It makes a wider virtual resolution and cuts out where the bezels are.

THIS is great news. I'll be watching the hosting site like a hawk waiting for the 64-bit version. If you get a chance, please do post back with pics on the Configuration screens and performance experience.
I haven't installed the Koolance block on my third card yet, so it's sitting in the middle of my other two blocked cards. Will probably finish the installation this weekend at some point... I'm currently cooling two OC'ed (875/1750/2120) 480s and an OC'ed i7 on two 3x120mm rads and temps are excellent. Once I install the block on the third card, I'll be adding another 2x120mm rad to the loop. All in all, I'd say it takes about 840mm of rad area to disperse enough heat for tri-SLI 480s -- since I have an i7 in the loop I'll be adding another 120mm for good measure.

Good deal.
My sig quote is perfectly fine. You just need to get over yourself and learn to convey information in a more complete way. Thanks for sharing.
I should have clarified...
Yes they both do the same thing. Nvidia's implementation is better IMO because they let you see/type in the pixel width of the bezels, this makes setting it up a 2nd time much easier if you remember the width you went with last time. And their test graphic is a diagonal street vs. AMD's triangle, which is much easier to see to me.
No, your sig quote explains exactly what you did by calling me a liar when in fact you were the one who was completely wrong. Your post was the "bibble-babble".

Awesome, thanks for the info! Need to order three Alienware OptXs pretty soon I guess.
No, I'm not sure why. If you rename it to JPG can you see the split images? That would say if the file was corrupt.
ahh got it mate. your files are renamed to jpg. anyone who wants to view these needs to delete the jpg name part and make sure they are .jps. works great now. good stuff! i am trying to hold off on buying another 2 of these monitors, another 480 and a new psu until eoy. having a sneaky suspicion ill be lucky to make it through the summer

Ha ha! Nice try to cover up your own assholeness. So let's see who's conveying information properly here: the OP posts a screenshot clearing showing he's using 3 DVI ports (NOT his HDMI port), you see a totally unrelated HDMI error in a screenshot, call him a liar, and now you're telling him to get over himself and "convey information in a more complete way". If the forum rules allowed it I would call you a ***** ** ****.

I have a question, if it stutter, and buggy.. how is it better than AMD's Eyefinity?
just because it have 3D Vision?

Good question. Since you'd been an Eyefinity user before (as have a lot of us, myself included) would be great to hear any early comparison.
No, I don't mean to say that it's better than Eyefinity, I was just saying the bezel compensation configuration was better than AMD's. It's hard to say how the performance compares since I've just been playing around with games in 3D. I'll try a bench of a game in non-3D.

Wow fail me...I didn't realize that they moved the 3D Vision section in the control panel to the top...I was looking for it on the bottom. Going to try it out now
Thanks for this thread man...you made my weekend.
Edit: Yup just tried WoW really quick and my mind was blown. It still has the 3D Vision UI issue but it just looked crazy in 3D surround

Now I have to decide whether to hope and wait on the x64 drivers being supposedly leaked, or disable my scratch disk raid and install x32 vista...
I wonder what MS woulds say if I had a dual boot x64 + x32 on the same comp with same key. Might have to go order a vista key for $10 and wait for the email.

They're due out officially on the 24th... I'm sure we'll survive the less-than-2-day wait for the 64-bit version.
Nope, they were planning on holding surround gaming back till the end of June to finish working out the bugs being reported in this thread.
The question now is, will they let the x64 leak, will they release a beta package of surround with the 24th release now that the cat is out of the bag, or will they merely stay quiet and make the x64 crowd wait for the initial production version of surround gaming in June.
This is Nvidia people, so I am assuming they will stay quiet and make the x64 crowd, like myself, wait till June hoping for a leak.
