Some issues with 3D surround
-
Bad cards? Have you tried just using one GPU and not SLI? Might be SLI that is not compatible with BMS. I have been using Surround since 4.32 with no problems. Using latest drivers now with 4.34 no issues. Started with AMD cards 5770 to 6970 and nvidia cards 960 to 980Ti and using just one 1070 now.

Thanks for the feedback. No I didn’t use only one GPU without SLI but even if it was working what would be the point? With only one card connected the way they are connected to my screens (I cannot connect a single card to my triple screen setup) I would only enjoy 3D on one screen which is a no go.
If this was only a problem with SLI I wouldn’t have 3D surround in DCS M2000C Nevada map would I (I have just rechecked today)? Last time I checked 3D surround was also working well with Asseto Corsa, Dirt Rally etc.
So it is for me a specific issue with BMS 4.34 and my config.
My Nvidia drivers are 419.17 whql -

Might be BMS then? Old graphics engine and all that? Sorry, didn’t realize you were talking 3D plus Surround.

I have to say that I would very much like that the UI could be changed and not code-blocked so that it is compatible to the game resolution…
I noticed yesterday that even activating/creating a new NVI profile and modifying some settings is sufficient to have an UI distorted and for me not being able to proceed further with the simulator (no access to anything). I had to delete the NVI profile
In fact even with the previous version I was active on: 4.32 I think that I was managing to have it worked (3D surround) with a lot of difficult but it was most probably on the 32bit exe. -

The issue isn’t SLI or Surround by themselves. I’ve been using that specific config of SLI and surround for BMS windowed mode for the last 6-7 years. Various drivers and 4.32 to current and I do not have those specific issues. Unless he is talking about something other than the standard NVidia Surround.

I think he is talking 3D as well, not just Surround?

No I am only talking of 3D Nvidia surround (not just 3D as I am not interested in testing 3D on only one screen, as 3D surround is working for example with DCS) and due to my config I need to use SLI as I cannot connect 3 screens with only one of my GC.
Once Nvidia 3D surround is activated, BMS 4.34 UI turns to a black screen on the main monitor with nothing clickable. For me it is due to the coding of the UI that is not adapting to the original screen resolution (something that maybe could have been fixed years ago, but maybe it is too difficult to fix) -
Just to clarify, 3D and Surround are different things, right? You can have 3D in just one monitor (I assume you wear 3D glasses?) and you can have 3D across 3 monitors tied into Surround?
AFAIK, the UI screen res is hardcoded and thus nearly impossible to change.

Yes PutYawa, it is also my understanding. I could disable SLI and run 3D on one monitor but I don’t see the point…I prefer 3 monitors withoud 3D in this case.
I have just notice one piece on information from Nvidia latest drivers dated May 2019 (not on the drivers that I use as I have the February’s one):
Following the posting of the final driver from Release 418 on April 11, 2019 GeForce Game Ready Drivers will no longer support NVIDIA 3D Vision or systems utilizing mobile Kepler-series GPUs. Critical security updates will be available for these products through April 2020. A complete list of Kepler-series GeForce GPUs can be found here. -

Never really played with 3D put flying with 3 monitors and no issues.
