    I run 3 external monitors off my MSI Dominator GT72. I have display settings as "Extend Desktop to 1" same for "2" and "3"
    so I can slide windows side to side, around etc.

    Is there a way to change this quickly for gaming so the game plays "full width" ie: all the way across 3 monitors?

    If I have to change display settings - what would the settings be?

    Better yet, is there a way to do a quick switch form "3 screen work mode" to "full width gaming mode" ?

    Assuming it can be done at all of course.

    Thanks for help.

    Nvidia surround handles multi screen gaming.

    Meaker, thanks for reply.

    Is "Nividia Surround" an easy to find setting? An available download? Or something optional that needs to be installed and/or purchased?

    Any link or directions appreciated.

    Once you have additional monitors connected to the system, the option will become available in Nvidia control panel. To access the panel, right-click on your desktop for the context menu.
