Hi all, currently I run 3 22" monitors and a 50" dlp off my computer. I have a Gtx 260 and a 9600gso.
I would love to go play games multimonitor, but am unsure which route to take. As you can see I need to power 4 monitors and I only have 2 pcie slots in my p6t.

As far as I can tell with nvidia surround I would not be able to use my tv as well? Correct me if I'm wrong. So with eyefinity what would be my bes option right now? Dual 5850's? Or 5870? Or even wait for the 6000 series? I would like to know what you would do in this situation?

Thanks for any input

Well, good news is that GTX 260 in SLi supports nVidia Surround. Which is what you want.

So, retire the 9600GSO and replace it with another GTX 260. They should hovering around 100$ on eBay.

Good luck!
 
ok, but if i go nvidia surround with another 260 will i still be able to use my tv as well as the three monitors?
 
I can't say for sure, but from what I remember you'll have to turn off the TV's feed in order to use your surround group but if surround is disabled you can use all 4 at as individual screens. Future drivers may change that, but I'm not sure.
