Weird (but good) Surround + LB interaction on VG248QE
Posted: 26 Nov 2018, 18:51
Wondering if CBB cares to weigh in on this, as it seems too good to be true. Anyways, here goes.
Old setup was a 780 Ti (2 DVI, 1 DP actively converted to DVI) using the hardware EDID mod (on all 3 VG248QEs) for surround + LB. Worked like a dream.
Picked up a 1080 Ti this week. Feared I would lose my beloved LB + surround since this card has 2 x DP + 1 DVI, (and my active converter died the other day - really don't want to have to rely on two of those). I'm also aware the mod was only for the DVI port.
So, I have things hooked into the 1080 Ti, DVI in the center monitor, DP on the two side monitors, and I throw it into surround and decide to give it the ol' college try with LB - it flippin' worked. All monitors are in 3D mode, testufo looks smooth as expected, and it seems to be working - using only a single modded DVI port on the center monitor. [Latest Nvidia Driver was used]
Now, I ask, is this intended with the mod, have I discovered something new (I know the time for people really caring about surround and LB has long passed), or am I crazy/wrong?
Let me know please!
