No, the GTX460 DOES NOT support 3way SLI. Ah crap, you got me back! I read the title and the "3 way not supported" comment, I thought was referring to nvidia Surround in general, not the GTX460. I have 2x GTX460, clearly my 3way SLI bridge wont fit! :) |

For software, you just need drivers - 258.96 are favoured as they have less bugs than the 258.69 drivers, although they still have a few odd ones. Like GRID not working with bezel correction... |

Im looking into this as well, as I will be getting a gtx 480 most probably. I already have a gtx 295 in the system (running a TH2GO D Unit) so can I use these together ( without the TH2GO, just the 2 Gtx's) ? Currently running 3 x 19" 5:4 panels, do all monitors need to be the same, as I'd quite like a widescreen as my middle monitor, keeping the 5:4's on the outside ?. Any info appreciated :) I think the gtx295 only has the 2 dvi's |

You can't mix and match cards, unfortunately. They need to be able to SLI together. So a 295 and a 480 won't do it. Get the 480 and keep using the TH2Go. :D |

Cheers for the speedy reply ! Will probably look at this again in the future, so if I did go this route would I have to sli with another 480 or would any 400 series do. Is it worth keeping the 295 in the system as a physx card to take some strain from the other gpu and cpu ? tia Deck. |

Dunno how the 295 does as a PhysX card, TBH. If you've got plenty of PCI-E connectors and PSU wattage/amperage free, go ahead... but so far I've hardly noticed a difference between using PhysX or not. Admittedly, I'm not playing the PhysX-obsessed titles, so my only real experience is Just Cause 2. You have to SLI equivalent cards, unfortunately. 480 with 480, 470 with 470, etc. It becomes a bit of a grey area with the re-re-re-released G92 cards, where officially an 8800GT can't be paired with an 8800GTS, or a 9800GTX+ with a GTX250, for example... but if the cards can take being cross-flashed and not artefact, you can do it. |
