Hello guys,
Sorry, for posting here but I posted this in the multi monitor section and it wasn't successfull.
I'm hoping some one here could help me.

Since a few weeks now I'm planning to do a 3D Surround.
I finnaly got my monitors and my graphic card.

But there is something that makes impossible for me to ennable the 3D Surround.
The problem is comming from the third monitor.
I think that I didn't order the right cable even if it was mark as fully compatible....
Reference is : 11.04.5612

So how the third monitor need to be plug to be able to use it in 3D Surround ?
Right now two are plugged with the DVI cables. 

Thanks for helping me

Yup, it appears that you will need that adaptive connector after all.  Unfortunately, I was incorrect about Surround being able to use DP for 120Hz, which really doesn't make sense but hey, it's their hardware.  With multi monitor 2D or 3D, I like Eyefinity's orientation options a bit better.  Here is an adapter that will work:

I am currently using one similar to this for my Eyefinity setup since my Monitors only have a DVI DL port.  I plan on ordering one of these for my Nvidia card rig soon.

If you have a 120hz monitor that supports it - you can use two DVI-DL connections and a DisplayPort connection to get 120hz x3. The NVIDIA article I linked references the BenQ XL2420T and TX monitors (which I have) that are capable of this.

 
It actually reads " In future drivers, owners of BenQ’s XL2420T and XL2420TX 3D Vision monitors will be able to use the two DVI connectors and the DisplayPort connector without needing the DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter, as the BenQ monitors feature built-in DisplayPort 3D Vision technology."
 
Have the drivers enabled this yet?  That is why I said I was incorrect.  I am not sure if this has happened.  DP is certainly capable of displaying that frequency but it's all about their software at this point.   Have you tried this with your monitors?  If so, which drivers are you using?

I'm not using DisplayPort. I have 4x 680 Classifieds so I'm just using 3x DVI-I connections with Dual-Link DVI cables. That article is from March of 2012. So if the OP has the BenQ monitors - I would recommend trying DisplayPort first. They have fixed a lot of multi-monitor/NV Surround/etc. issues with the 304.x beta series of drivers. Mainly now allowing different monitors to work together in NV Surround whereas before you had to have 3 identical monitors.

 
Yeah, I'm not sure either regarding the drivers.  The OP does indeed have those monitors.  Initially in his post in the Multi Monitor forum area, I suggested he simply run 2 x DVI and 1 x DP to his 3 monitors.  If that didn't work (meaning those drivers didn't enable DP) then he will need that active adapter.

I'm probadly going to try this but were can I find a displayport cable with 1.2 certification ?
In the last drivers note Nvidia talks about the 1.2 displayport.

Not sure at all that the 1.1 will even going to be reconized

 
You'll need a Usb powered Displayport to get 3D surround,they are about $100 to buy,
sorry for the good news

i have the 680 4gb and i ask evga that same question i was told any of the ports will work

dvi-d; dvi; hdmi    or  dvi-d; dvi; displayport i have confirmed this and you can get a cable displayport to dvi

Not if you want to do 3D Vision - it requires 120hz which does not work via HDMI. Dual link DVI is required.

You confirmed how?
 
Those are useless if you are either running:
 
1.)  120Hz 3d
2.)  Above 1920x1080
 
 

because i am using a hdmi cable and two dvi cables on one card when i got it. i just recently went sli for two 680 4gb

one hdmi to hdmi
dvi to dvi x2
i am not using the displayport at all
one gtx 680 in 2d surround i can run 3d surround if i was to hook up the 3d vision kit 2 i own

how am i running 1920x1080p look at screen resolution 5760x1080p keep in mind i went from one monitor to all three i had turned on thank you

i am going to enable 3d to prove you wrong i post pic lol

Great, you can call Nvidia too, since you will be proving them wrong too:)

From the Nvidia page: http://www.nvidia.com/obj...stem-requirements.html
"Single GPU (680) "  "GPU connector requirements"  = "Requires 3 DVI connectors"


Even better, you can tell the OP to just pick up one HDMI cable and run it to his BenQ monitor.

you know what i just gonna let you have this one it not worth arguing over

Problem is, when people ask questions we need to give them the correct answer.  That is why I am providing this information, not to be right OR wrong. 
 
The item that you linked is single link and will not work.  Unfortunate as it is, the OP will need an active display port to DVI as I linked originally.  I stand by my assessment:)
 
Here is the item he needs (again).  It needs to be ACTIVE and Dual Link DVI:
