G75 and 3 display ports. Can you run 3 different displays at same time?
I currently have a fully modded G74SX 3DE and would only move to a G75 if you can use all 3 display ports at same time. Just curious has anyone tried this yet? Hooking a monitor to each port vga, mini display, and HDMI? Can this be done or no?
Thanks
Dean

I would also like to have an answer to this question. If it does work, I would definitely get a 3rd monitor. 2 months and no one has tried?

i can use 2 at a time but i don't feel like spending money for a mini display port adapter.

Trying!
Hey Guys,
I just bought a cheap [mini DP > DVI adatper] ($20) in the hope to run 3 screen at the same time... But so far i can only figure out how to have 2 screens running at once.
Maybe its limitation of the GTX 670M... Cause i know the destop 670 can do it.
I have already tested 2 external screens at once via:
HDMI + mini DP
HDMI + VGA
But when i run the 2 externals it won't let me run the laptop screen.
I haven't tried 3 externals yet, need a 3rd screen to try.
i.e. HDMI + mini DP + VGA
Still investigating..
Any ideas??

PLEASE tell me how!!!
I see you have a 660M... I am worried that my 670M can't.
Here it states the new 'kepler' GPUs shld be able...
"The improved feature set now includes support for up to 4 active displays."
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-...M.71859.0.html
But my 670m is on the old 'fermi' process.
Hmmm... Maybe i just answered the which is better 660, 670 debate for good.

All 600 series chips should be able to support 4 monitors, it is a main feature of the 600 series.
Technically, even the 500 series had the 'power' to do it, but Nvidia didn't allow it on that series for some reason. Probably so they could push SLI more.G75VW-BBK5

Would love to be proven wrong here!
So could you tell me step-by-step how you did it?
Any extra software required?
When ever i enabled another screen, a screen had to be disabled :\
Only allowed be to have 2 screens active at once

No special software needed.
Try pressing the Windows key and P, then select Extend.G75VW-BBK5
