Battlefield Bad Company 2 nVidia Surround Gameplay 5760x1080 KFA2 Geforce 580 SLi

[Forzakencookeh]

The setup is so fucking sweet.

[BliizardLiizard]

How would sli 460s do with surround for this game?

[BenHanna7]

@BliizardLiizard They probably wouldn't do that well. It's recommended that you have at least 1.5GB of graphics memory which can store all the textures running on such a huge resolution. :) Something like 580's or the best option would be after market 3GB GTX 580's.

[diddler1979]

@BliizardLiizard They would work but don't expect to be maxing many settings out.

[lcjj7]

This is sweet.

[Y0URm0mmasballs]

Are the GTX 580s used 1.5gb vram?

[diddler1979]

@Y0URm0mmasballs Both GPU's have 1.5GB of ram.



[mikeannam]

So whats your set up? I am trying to gather info for 3 monitor configs? any help would be great!

[slugger449]

@mikeannam Try reading the description........

[CodyKime]

could a NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE run this game?

[slugger449]

@CodyKime No XD a 6150SE will not be able to play the game, at all.

[MrD0BR0]

Nice setup! I have a little question for you.

I just ordered 3 Samsungs, which will have the same final resolution as you have (1080 lines too). And I aslo am a huge BC2 player. However, my configuration is more or less the same as yours. I still didn't change my GPUs, which are 2 GTX285's in SLI. They perform really well on my current 24" (1920x1200) screen, but the screens I will be having have a bit smaller resolution. How do you think it is gonna run on that?

Thanks a lot ;)

[diddler1979]

@MrD0BR0 On a single monitor it will run great but on three the 285's may struggle a little when you are higher resolutions and AA settings.

[dealerovski82]

Have you the same problem in mulitplayer maybe that when you enter a vechicle you dont get surround anymore only displays in center monitor, heli and tanks...

[diddler1979]

@dealerovski82 Heli & tanks do it but jeeps and quads don't.

[dealerovski82]

@diddler1979 Its strange, because sometimes I get the full view even in tanks and helis. So Im trying to figure out if its a server thing or a driver issue.

[roshawn1111]

@diddler1979 this game is just bad for multi monitor setups i got 2 6950s and dont get over 45 frames

[diddler1979]

@roshawn1111 Don't have that problem at all. Maxed out and hardly ever below 60. One of the best multi monitor games out there in my opinion.

[roshawn1111]

@diddler1979 idk somebody esles with my cpu and cards get 70 to 80 fps idk whats wrong im thinking its the mobo

[diddler1979]

@roshawn1111 Using the same driver versions too?

[roshawn1111]

@diddler1979 idk everything up to date idk fuck it,

[uscmstormdog]

Does it has some kind of stuttering cuz of SLI? I can't see on video exactly but sometimes it's kind of stutter.

[diddler1979]

@uscmstormdog No stutter, buttery smooth. :)

[mynameisbutter]

Smooth..

[KrankItVZ]

wow now i hate you even more :(

jk, im now inspired to get a new monitor setup and update my hardware. One question, how do you make a 3 monitor setup work?

[diddler1979]

@KrankItVZ :).

If you are using nVidia surround like me you need two nVidia GPU's and three compatible monitors to plug into themm. Do a google search for nvidia surround and you'll find nVidia's main page explaining it all.

[KrankItVZ]

@diddler1979 Well it'll be a while until i can get a GTX 580 to replace my stupid OEM GTS 240. So you need 2 of them eh... another question. What motherboard are you using? I'm also using a i7 920 and the best i can overclock it to is 3.8 GHz with my stupid Aurora A07 motherboard... Well Im new OCing but I'm learning...

[diddler1979]

@KrankItVZ Full PC specs are in the description mate. :)

[benjyboba]

Hi, I'd like to know how good those acer monitors are. I've been reading problems on them with halo on web browsing and writing etc. Are they bad. Atm I use 1600 x 1200 c rt monitors. I brought a nice new system and want to sli surround and 3d visoin and want to know which is the best monitors. Considering the acer.

[diddler1979]

@benjyboba They are fine. I think I have only ever notced the verticle banding issue some people talk of once but overall they are quite functional. That said, if I had the choice now I would look for something better as these are 2009 monitors and better ones have come out since. Google 3D Vision Blog for a good independent site with monitor reviews.

[ReSpawNnL]

What's your FOV bro? I've got a slightly better setup and my FOV is pretty messed up.

[diddler1979]

@ReSpawNnL Fov=90

[kassenz]

Wow. notice how nobody is talking smack?

Looks really responsive and quick - lag-free

Now I want a 3 monitor setup!! !!

[sequeboy]

now would it look as smooth on 60Hz monitors?

[diddler1979]

@sequeboy Yup, the video shows the game running at 60Hz.

[sequeboy]

@diddler1979 epic win! thanks for the reply! seriously best nvidia surround video on youtube of bc2

[jorn1233]

niicce

[TimTehPilot]

Oh god that looks like butter. So smooth.

[diddler1979]

@TimTehPilot It's the way its meant to be played. :)

[jagger1865]

@diddler1979 wow how much did your whole set up cost you?

[economyprisoner]

Can u do the surround vision on multiplayer?or does it only work on singleplayer?

[diddler1979]

@economyprisoner Single and multi player are no problem.

[Foristality]

What kind of job you have?

cause you seem rich

[XxGastonQuendoxX]

@Foristality Lol, true .__.

[SodiumCyanide]

@Foristality Maybe his parents are?

[diddler1979]

@Foristality @XxGastonQuendoxX @SodiumCyanide Work in IT management.

[thugricanz]

@diddler1979 Can't believe you told him where you work! lol

[diddler1979]

@thugricanz Did I....really? The answer was hardly that descriptive. lol

[thugricanz]

@diddler1979 He he. You do have a good job. I am studying for nursing.. once I work there, I am going to get that setup. :P

[diddler1979]

@thugricanz Good luck with that, a noble profession. :)

[thugricanz]

@diddler1979 Lol. Thanks. Yeah, I love helping people. :)

[thugricanz]

@Foristality Even people with crappy job can do this.. it takes a while though. :P

[TOBIjenster]

why dont you use 3d vision if you have 120hz monitors?

[diddler1979]

@TOBIjenster Would kill the framerates with all the detail maxed out.

[TOBIjenster]

@diddler1979 it kills a 580 sli :O
