    Hey everyone,
    I currently have a GT80S, 2 external 1080P monitors, and am perplexed. All three monitors work in extend, but of coarse each one kind of acts like it's own entity. What I am trying to do is use the laptop monitor, along with the 2 external monitors to do Nvidia Surround, making the effective resolution 5760x1080. When I go into the Nvidia Control Panel, the laptop monitor is blanked out, and only gives me the option to run Nvidia Surround on the 2 external monitors.

    Has anyone ever got this to work with the laptop monitor? Or do I need to get a 3rd external monitor to get surround to work?
