3D Vision Surround setups can be used with a single card

Looks like NVIDIA's upcoming Kepler GPU will finally do away with that annoying limitation that made it impossible for single cards to accomplish anything similar to AMD's Eyefinity technology.

So far, NVIDIA video controllers haven't been able to support more than two monitors.

Kepler will change this, according to the HKEPC report that also revealed the TXAA and the independent benchmark results.

It is now possible to connect up to four displays to a single board.

This works in conjunction with Adaptive V-Sync, which we spoke about here.

One consequence of this is that 3-monitor HD 3D Vision Surround setups are possible without SLI, leading to more affordable triple-monitor 3D gaming.

Fortunately, people won't have to wait much longer before they can enjoy all this. NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 680 should launch on March 23 and pre-orders can already be placed, for Zotac's model at least.
