What is Nvidia Surround?
Nvidia Surround will allow users to extend their gaming experience across multiple displays to expand sound and vision. The compatibility will vary depending on the Nvidia GPU.
For the Razer Blade line, Nvidia Surround is a feature that is available on supporting GPUs within our Razer Blade line that allow displays that are connected directly to ports that are wired to the GPU. This creates an immersive gaming experience for users through sound and vision.
For instance, on the Razer Blade 15-inch, a user may connect up to two displays directly into the 15-inch Razer Blade to utilize Nvidia Surround via the HDMI and Mini DisplayPort (the USB-C port on the Razer Blade 15" is not supported as it is connected to the Intel chip).
What is compatible with Nvidia Surround?
Compatibility extends to ports that are wired directly to Nvidia GPUs on supported Razer systems such as the 15-inch Razer Blade. It should be noted that a user can connect a Razer Core with an Nvidia Surround compatible GPU to the USB-C port and still get Nvidia Surround through the displays that are connected to the Razer Core. However, if a user connects a display to the USB-C directly, Nvidia Surround will not be compatible with the display as USB-C is not connected to the GPU, but rather to the Intel CPU chip.
When connected directly to the 15-inch Razer Blade with Max-Q, compatible ports include:
-
HDMI
-
Mini DisplayPort
Important note for Razer Core X
Displays connected to the Razer Core X with an Nvidia Surround compatible GPU. The Razer Core X connects via USB-C, but the displays will be connected to the GPU directly in the Razer Core X unit, and therefore can take advantage of the Nvidia Surround feature.
Non-Compatible ports:
-
USB-C
-
USB 3.1
