I have a new Abit sli board and 4 samsung LCD's. I want to make all four work as independant displays. I have 2 7600 gs gpu's in normal mode. I am not able to make the 2 main card displays seperate, or even make the 3rd turn on. What am I doing wrong?
 
LOL, yes I have tried ultramon, I don't like it as much as the Nvidia one. I know that sounds stupid when I can't get it to work, but I have had success with previous Nvidia cards, just not in an SLI board.
 
I too do not know much about this because I personally do not have an SLI setup. However, I don't think that SLI supports multi-monitor setups, if I remember correctly.

He's not running the cards in SLI
 
Well, the problem is this. I have all the monitors set up. I am able to get seperate wallpapers for them, but I cannot make a single wallpaper stretch over them. I have them in a "2" "1" "3" orientation. The three are running at 1280x 1024, but the third is in 16 bit color mode, and I cant change it to 32 bit, what's up?

The wallpaper thing is a Windows problem. You'll need a program like Ultramon to stretch a single wallpaper across three monitors. Or, the other thing you could do if you can get separate wallpapers to work is to just split up the wallpaper into three different files and then just use those wallpapers on each monitor...

Or, if you can't get it to work with Ultramon, then I don't know what's up because I currently have a stretched wallpaper going on on my comp. with Ultramon.
 
I am using the Nvidia tools to use the desktop pictures, not Windows, unless this is the problem. I am not able to make the second monitor use 32 bit. That is the big issue right now. Once I get that corrected, then I will worry about the resolutions. I shouldn't have to tweak this much. Should I?
