What's are all the best settings for NVIDIA surround on dual Dell Alienware 34" Curved 120Hz Monitors using SLI? I am not able to enable "Maximize 3D Performance". I have self learned many settings thus far. Maybe someone here on the freaky internet forum knows a thing or two and can contribute some good tips and pointers to me.

    Have you tried setting a custom resolution?

    You are connected through DisplayPort? Also, I do not have one of these monitors, so I have to ask, does it require two cables and if so, can you connect both to one GPU rather than two?

    Yes, DisplayPort connection. I currently have them plugged in both 1080 Ti's. I believe it will require both cables to be used from each display. I do not know if connecting both cables to one card will work or not. What would be the benefit of connecting both monitors to one card?

    The benefit would be maximize performance would be reenabled, but I think you will end up needing to span displays.

    With two displays, I don’t think it will be a good gaming experience, since the center of the display/aiming point will be right between two monitors. Just using desktop settings, you can attach both monitors to one card, enable maximize performance, and then set up multiple displays, but gaming experiences may not be the best.

    Nvidia site - Surround requires a supported GPU configuration capable of driving three digital monitors or three analog monitors. Monitors can be daisy-chained DisplayPort monitors.

    So you can run a monitor from it's DisplayPort to another monitor's DisplayPort via to the graphics card in other words?

    That link is to the Nvidia tool.  select the correct hardware & monitor setup & it shows you which ports you can use
