I have 4 monitors, all 1920x1080 resolution. For most of my games (The Witcher 3, This War of Mine, etc.) and for most of my work, I prefer having each monitor as an individual monitor. For my sims (Elite Dangerous, Falcon BMS, DCS, FSX, etc.), I keep one monitor at 1920x1080 but the other three, I combine via nVidia Surround as one big display.

I am using the Pro Trial version of display fusion on Win7 64bit with a GTX 980Ti.

When I have my "individual monitor" setup, I save it under Monitor Configuration, then I go to my "Surround monitor" setup and save it as well on Monitor Configuration.

However, swapping between the two profiles does not work. I just want to be able to switch easily between my two desired setups --- is display fusion capable of this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Sounds similar to what I'm after (except AMD eyefinity).
I was looking at this again since its on sale (last look was almost 2 years ago).

I run 3x 1080p 23inch screens.
For streaming and some games (incl. old games) I run 1080p X 3 (mid screen for full screen gaming, left screen for some things, right screen for others).
Other times I run eyefinity.

Having a simple switch from one preset to another would be the reason I would buy display fusion. I have the trial installed and find that if I set eyefinity and then use DisplayFusion monitor splits, it cuts off the right hand side of my left and center screens. (re-checked my screen resolution)

I'm still playing with settings and things but a quick run thru without spending hours on this would be very much appreciated.

I am guessing this setup would also help Intys with the nvidia surround question.

EDIT
I found using the DisplayFusion split wont allow things to be full screen on the center screen. Need to actually be able to toggle eyefinity.

Ah okies, cheers for letting us know.
Any kind of ETA? I did ask back in Jan 2014 and you were hoping to add it some time in the future. Just wondering if its moved up the list as a soon-to-be-started project or still a bit off.

Just going from individual desktops to an Eyefinity setup should be easily doable with CCC profile for AMD. Just remember to save your profile using the Simple mode; for some reason it won't save correctly when using Advanced mode for CCC. I used this all the time with my HD 7970 GHz Edition card.

Being able to save profiles is the big plus with AMD GPUs. Unfortunately, nVidia/Surround does not have this function.

Really disappointed that display fusion does not have this function.... this was the main reason I tried this program. Different backgrounds/screensavers/etc. don't really appeal.

Played with the profiles on and off, (generally every 6-12 months I play around with settings). The profiles wont switch between eyefinity and extended. Also tried the win+p shortcut everyone talks about but that doesn't work either.
The new AMD drivers are so dumb, everything is hidden in stupid places, I preferred CCC, its still there kinda but its a pain to get to now.
If the presets works I wouldn't have been watching and waiting for displayfusion to add this feature for the last 2 years.

It seems like a pretty simple but important thing that AMD should have working on their driver software (nvidia too), it's dumb it doesn't work.

This is the main feature I wanted that made me look into desplayfusion.

I was wondering if there was a way to setup a script or something to do this? I can setup Nvidia to enable/disable surround with hotkeys. Is there a way to script something that will press the hotkeys wait a few seconds for Nvidia to switch everything around, then run other task like a monitor configuration profile?

My main problem is I can get Surround enabled ok but when I disable surround it only enables one of my three monitors and I have to enabled the other 2 again. (Huge first world problem here that needs to be solved.)

Has there been any progress made on the NVidia Surround "configuration switch" capabilities?
Nearly 2 years after last post so just wondering.
Picked up DisplayFusion on steam for exactly the same reason.

well, either.
1) Switch Surround and apply configuration
2) Allow games to "borderless full-screen" to a single split monitor.

Any ideas,
Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback Keith.
Is there any way we can see an expectation date for this, or vote up on feature requests or something to help this come up the development line?

multi monitor gaming is becoming ever more popular, and this would negate one of the biggest ease-of-use issues in making full use of the nvidia surround system.

Since it's been on the cards for at least 3 years... would be good to get it to blip on the feature list.

Thanks again

I'm still watching this space from the AMD side of the fence. Even after all these years.

I havent purchased displayfusion yet but am interested. I have three monitors setup 1920 x 1080 each in an eyefinity configuration and use steam to play games.

However, when away from the gaming PC in the house, if i stream a game, it streams over the three monitors. If i am streaming on to a laptop, the screens are small!!

Would display fusion allow me to keep eyefinity on the main pc (acting as gaming server) but stream a 1080p version to the laptop?

hesh

Has nVidia made any progress with updating the API so we can get fast switching between surround and extended? I'm running an 8 monitor configuration and occasionally alternate between 4 different monitor configurations and would love it if I could just apply a layout and have surround enable or disable depending on the configuration. I see this thread hasn't really gone anywhere in a long time and thought I would see if anything has changed yet.
