These games support multi-monitor gaming one way or another, but have performance issues and/or glitches in SLI, and thus are lousy candidates for Nv Surround. Also a place to share any solutions that may arise (profiles, workarounds...). Please chime in !

[list][*]Amnesia: The Dark Descent - no SLI profile yet. :idea: Rename Amnesia.exe to Penumbra.exe.[/*:m]
[*]Left 4 Dead 2 - occasional stuttering in very intense gunfights that does not happen with SLI off.[/*:m]
[*]Splinter Cell: Conviction - no SLI profile yet. :idea: Temporary fix: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=345217#345217[/*:m]
[*]Trackmania Forever - limited performance gain and graphical artefacts with SLI enabled.[/*:m][/list:u]

Wings of Prey Surround runs flawless here...though my choice for best looking game in Surround so far is Bad Company Battlefield 2. The swirling weather effects make the game so immersive, and the shoot and move mechanics are perfect, the game looks awesome and just plays "right". Only game I have not been able to get to work in Surround so far is Ghostbusters (though it works with TH2Go and SoftTH).

I'm getting some weird "chop" in Left for Dead 2 again, like stuttering, which happens especially if I am firing an automatic weapon during a very intense fight... seems like it's a known SLI bug tho.. I used to be able to disable SLI to fix that but that's not an option now.... I don't play the game much any more, and it's not too bad, only when things get very busy.. everything else I play seems to run very well...

Cool, maybe this was fixed in recent nv drivers (I'm still on 197.41). WoP is off the list.
There's a fix for Conviction that works great, see first post.

Has anyone got GTX IV running in Surround?

It loads to the menu, but just 'loads' a game forever and ever...I went to make dinner just to make sure and 30 minutes later it was still "loading".

GTA IV ? Yes it runs fine in surround, loading time here like 15 or 20 secs. Maybe you could try to apply the latest patch again and see how it goes.

Was the Steam version.

The issue was VRAM. Swap in 2GB cards, does Surround no problem at all!

Added a workaround for Amnesia TDD. Does it help with the severe performance issues some ppl are experiencing ?
