I used to have an AMD GPU and I could save my desktop profiles so I could switch between indvidual desktops and an Eyefinity setup. For most of my gaming, I prefer playing with each monitor treated as an individual display. Games such as Gnomoria, FTL, This War of Mine, etc. Obviously, I prefer this for everyday stuff too. For other games such as Falcon BMS or Elite, I prefer having the Eyefinity setup with my three monitors treated as one big display and my fourth monitor (touchscreen) as a different display.

I've purchased an nVidia card and there doesn't seem to be a way to save such profiles. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks!

Opps Sorry Ice no such feature that I am aware of.. AMD seems to have the Best Multiple screen software.. maybe you should have stuck with AMD and I am a NVidia fan boy but can admit superior software for multiscreens..

4 Screens is max with nVida as far as I know and you can have 2-3 screens for multi use and 1 accessory monitor..

Yeah I agree, AMD's driver has a lot better profile option than the Nvidia driver which only has basic keyboard shortcuts only for surround mode off/on.

What I use to do those other types of monitor profiles and key shortcuts is DisplayFusion which works great and is actually on Steam sale right now for 75% off:

I have 3 monitors and use various configurations of them to play PC games, Xbox One, PS4, and Tivo TV, I couldn't live without DisplayFusion.

Okay, I got the trial version of this but can't seem to make it work.

I have my individual monitor setup, save it, then go to my Surround setup, and save it.... but the "swapping" won't work in display fusion. Going from Surround to single-desktops, it only activates two monitors instead of four... any chance of a tutorial?

Yeah surround on/off is the only thing that Display fusion seems to have a problem with, but it's easy to get around that.

1. Setup Surround on/off in Nvidia driver, enable key shortcuts in the driver for ctrl-alt-s
2. Setup other profiles with monitors 1,2,3 primary in Display fusion with key shortcuts ctrl-alt-1, 2, 3 etc.

I'm not sure I follow you there....

See the following screenshots:





1. Use the keyboard shortcuts in the Nvidia driver to control surround mode on or off.
2. Use DisplayFusion profile and keyboard shortcuts to control other monitor resolutions and arrangements.

Hmm... if I can toggle Surround on and off from tne nVidia control panel, why the need for display fusion?

I use it to switch to profiles with one monitor or two monitors depending on what I need to do (play PS4/XB1, watch TV via Tivo etc.)

If you only need to turn surround on/off then you can just use the Nvidia driver.

Thanks very much kludger! I will try and see if it works for me. The challenge is to find some keybinding that I've not used for BMS. Would be funny if I was flying then suddenly triggered single-screen setup!

Heheh yeah that would be a pain, does BMS work well in surround mode?

BMS, Elite, and a few other sims are beautiful in Surround. No way am I simming on single-screen setups now.
