    Just wondering if you guys can help. Just got a new 27" iMac with a 780m. I've been an ATI guy for well over a decade so I'm new to Nvidia Surround. The old iMac had a 6970m, which ran Eyefinity on the 2 23" cinema displays which were connected with thunderbolt to HDMI then from HDMi to DVI convertors.

    Just after installing Win 8.1 pro and there is no option in the Nvidia control panel for Surround. I tried it on the latest GeForce 334.89 Driver WHQL 334.89 and 334.67 beta driver but no change. Any ideas?

    I've posted this on other forums but in spite of some helpful folks I just can't get a definitive answer and I'm completely screwed if I can't get it to work, even by replacing the 23" Cinema displays with other monitors as I'm predominately a simmer on DCS and Assetto Corsa. Help!!

    Then it sounds like you need to request a vbios update from apple then to enable the feature.
