Bad Company 2 - Triple Monitor 5040x1050 "singleplayer" [1080p]

[timmartinanderson]

3 or more monitors get you a wider view that you will not see on a single one, gives you an advantage in mutiplayer game and if your doing it properly you tilt them in around you sitting on a desktop to get the in game feel, instead of all 3 strait across in front of you and no dont go with an big screen hdtv, go with some 24" monitor(s) at the max for best view and color. P.S. Dont use different style or sized monitors when using more then one, makes you come off as a real poor fuckin idiot.

[Th3Fr33man]

FUCK MY EYES HURT

[hokzable]

I dont know but 1680x1050 is 16:10 so triple 16:10 is 16:9 ? lol

[Carnosaurus1337]

hurt* sorry

[Carnosaurus1337]

doesn't that heart your eyes?

[nitro300]

I am just going to hook my pc up to my 66inch TV and enjoy it than this split screen bullshit.

[Robbaz]

@nitro300 It's still 16:9

[quentinmayo]

Great video. I wish eyefinity had more game support. Having to hack/mod a game to play it in eyeinfiniy isn't worth it since I lose online play. Also,as a compliment to you, it funny how people try to show off their eyefinify and all I see is a crappy widescreen extended picture on 3 screens. You seem to be one of the few people that understand eyefinify or physx

[jamesrolton]

They just released a steam patch for this as well which helps dx11 in surround work properly. I'm tri screening it now through SP. Check out my screens and backgrounds of it at 'Jim's Widescreen Wallpapers' (google) cheers, guys, good vid. I like the zooming out at the start. nice touch.

[TzunnyNIB]

very nice love it :)), hava a quest: how i make game run on 2 or more monitors ? was try whit a asamsung & lg & is not work, need be same monitors type ?

[Ruiso7]

lol imagine 4 eyefinity 6 card =24 monitors for a 360 degree viewing angle XD

[0felex01]

You need a kickass computer to handle all that graphics

[decimator22]

So does this mean that you could be surrounded by monitors and literally see behind you just by looking over your shoulder?

[kuratomi9091]

@decimator22 kind of.

[VViP30U7]

Not all enthusiast gamers use that exact setup; I assure you.

[GYD102]

Hmm... Imagine five years from now instead of getting 3 separate screens it will be one giant screen with some curvature. It'll be awesome. Its kind of like periferal vision.

[SgtDamien]

@GYD102 yeh i cant wait... they have made curved monitors but the are super expensive and i dont think you can buy them right now

[lol38810]

@IDutchyX it was 500 when it first came out

[HenryTomasino1]

I noticed some micro stuttering when running an eyefinity setup a year ago... One of the screens updated faster than the other two. Forsome reason the primary screen used to update faster than the other two with a single card set up... Did they fix that with driver updates?

[tribaldragon19]

at 5040 x 1050 with vertical FOV of 55 gives you 135 Horizontal

1920 x 1080 with vertical FOV of 55 gives you 79 Horizontal

by the way 55 vertical FOV is BFBC2 default

do the math ... that's your advantage!!

[MicroHelper]

Haven't I heard this song before? Haha, someone please do tell me :P

[rolandocbf]

I'm alrite,thanks. I can dominate at this game with just 1 screen. Sure, I don't have a brilliant field of vision, but some gamers need that jump start when playing me.

[360dsman]

this would be cool if it didn't cost $4000 to do. im happy with my $500 xbox (im poor)

[diminish3000]

@360dsman Not even close to 4000 dollars. More like 1500.

[xlaleclx]

Specs?

[ZEZgamer]

howd you get the resolution to go higher than the 3000+ resolution?

[wootlanter]

How did you even get the FOV altered in single player mode? I'm stuck playing this at 55fov and it's fucking annoying me.

[joshnut0]

I want to be sure if I'm right:

One videocards (Ex. XFX ATI radeon HD 6780 *It doe has Eyefinity*) will work on three monitors but that card, HD 6780, only has two DVI which mean I'll need another videocard to make the third monitor work, correct? Reply back please.

[EDKsurly]

This video is over a year old and it will still dominate other PC's for years to come. Triple monitor ftw!

But ROBBAZ, you should make a Triple setup vs single monitor comparison video. ;)

[vicsONtheBOAT]

and the purpose of this is?

[Lionshearth223]

@vicsONtheBOAT

To give you more headaches than ever.

[HekateMGO]

Want some bookends for your screen shelf there?

[Goodprejzr84]

your graphics card ??

[khris540]

That's a lot of radiation there!!!

[JohnF30Music]

so there's a new funky word for "nerds"? "entusiast gamers"? I thought they already were called "geeks"?

[BlahBlah5649]

Why would someone want this? I'd have a problem with the 2 ugly-ass dividers cutting up my field of vission. This would hamper gameplay.

[Axlkilla]

HEllo

Nice ! What's your FOV?

THanks

Axl

[Animationsonipod]

I would just like to play on one tv

[5N1P3RHAA]

i own a ps3 and thought that was good, this was even better lol

too bad some people cant afford this many monitors, especially with the VAT increase

[darave1]

Is it possible to run BC2 on monitors with different resolutions? I have at 1200p and a 900p and I was thinking of getting a second 900p monitor. Is it possible to play the game on this set up?

[darave1]

Is it possible to run BC2 on monitors with different resolutions? I have at 1200p and a 900p and I was thinking of getting a second 900p monitor. Is it possible to play the game on the set up?

[Zarag0d]

I would like to get a good deal on a triple monitor set up. Any suggestions?

[NoobsAreUsh]

The one thing I can't stand is the screen's borders. Angle is also slightly off when I use multi monitors, gives me vertigo every now and then. Then again, it's makes much more sense to use this setup as opposed to getting a 30" monitor which bleeds over the 1k range

[Stiltonator]

Hey i have th2go.. But i'm not sure how to force BFBC2 to run in dx9... Because the widest resolution available to me is 3840*1024 .. and i want 5040x1050, my monitors are widescreen so 3840 looks a bit wierd..

I've tried -dx9 in the command line, didnt seem to give me the option for 5040. I've also tried changing the settings manually in the ini but it gave me the white screen of death.  Any advice would be helpful [from 5040x1050 users] .

[Arathlo]

@Stiltonator Go into your BFBC2 files and go to settings, it'll probably ask you if you'd like to use the internet or some bullshit to open it, just select "open with..." Notepad, or some easy text reader. Look at the settings until you find DXVersion = Auto, and turn Auto to 9.

[RATSHADY]

I've got two acer h233h monitors and I only need one more to complete my setup.

[fitoou]

useless

[edw224]

I have play on 5040x1050 with Tripplehead2go. Just wanted to let you all know what a pain in the tush it is to find your mouse cursor when you die. I have a habbit of automatically scrolling it to the bottom left of the screen just to find it. - This setup doesn't really give you that much of an advantage; it just adds to the realism.

[zomeraktiven]

its like a cheet if u play online like this

[student908065]

@zomeraktiven how is it cheating? You don't see behind you.. this only increases your peripheral vision..

[SixTFPS]

@student908065 I have three monitors behind me too, so that helps to increase my 360 vision :o)

[SViNeHuNDeNGaMeS]

how kool is that :)

[Casemaster3000]

What is wrong with you people dissing this guy for having 3 monitors and an awesome setup? Deep down you just wish you had the money to have a such a cool ass thing to go back to now and again.

Go back to your consoles. :) Great vid.

[Mirk0waR]

that just blew my mind

[punkrawkpunk88]

Hey Robbaz. I just started playing BC2 at 5040x1050. What is your FoV set to? I set it to 24 but I wasn't sure if that was correct or not.

Thanks!

[TheUnknownHarbingers]

my computer can barely play this video.. yet alone handle 3 monitor OGGNESS.. lol

[ratedEG]

this is the only way to play, I have a GT4 setup with 3 screens. then I link another 3 so 2 people can play. its awesome.

[tiagom135]

120Hz all the way! for me....

[Gungrave20]

Whats the point of such a wide screen?

I mean if it does not give you a FOV advantage over other players then whats the point of even using this setup.

Does it increase ones ingame FOV?

[Robbaz]

@Gungrave20

Everyone can change the fov to whatever the server they are playing on approves.

[pewpscoop]

@Robbaz how do u change FOV? is there a command or is it just restricted to resolution

[Raond11]

@Robbaz The limit of FOV is 110

[themeleed]

@Robbaz plus it gives you a more "realistic" feeling, as you have lots of peripheral vision in real life

[kdefinitions]

lol this i very awesome...

[krenizslo]

hey can you film the monitor when playing, im interested how playing on 3 monitors looks like.

and how much did this pc cost?

just curios, im happy with my crappy 4 years old pc and everything else :D

[mrpolo666]

oh madonna madonna kif qsamtli mohhi bis sbuhija man... oh mother of christ mother of christ how did you break my mind with this beautiness man.

[igrenade]

cry more plz

[igrenade]

?

umad?

[tazera]

Awesome gameplay and fitting music = epic

[rgbda]

I have a 30" screen. Seeking donations for two more screens.

7680 x 1600!

/faints

[tonygraystone]

boarderless is the answer :-)

[cozzee]

Shouldnt it be like a blindspot between the monitors if you play like that? :<

Otherwise, nice.

[Rastalova]

Depends on the monitor. There are a lot of monitors that have such a thin edge its a seamless transition.

[jcvjcvjcvjcv]

Now try 4960x1600 :p

[Robbaz]

I can do 5760x1080 if i only had eyefinity ;(

[jcvjcvjcvjcv]

SoftTH?

[Robbaz]

@jcvjcvjcvjcv

im on triplehead2go

[zeroy]

Bragging? I found it utterly useless.

[student908065]

@zeroy ... It's only useless if you only game with it.. but for an adept researcher and college student... 3 monitors is very useful for note taking while reading online databases.. The extra 3rd monitor can be used for chatting/skype/pandora... One for the actual typing on a word document.. and one for the browsing.. NO minimizing/maximizing and therefore increases productivity..

[SixTFPS]

@student908065 Translated that means, a different kind of porn on each monitor right? :o)

[Iguana1500]

absolute wonderful video, great editing, music, and gameplay.

[walnutmuffin]

that would be so cheap in online multiplayer!!

[LousyHeroes]

It's not a huge advantage... if you're a terrible player you will be terrible even with wide view, just adds to the experience of playing.

[mastersniper13]

this is why pc dominates fps

TONS OF RESOLUTION AND AWESOMENESS

[t3hslowpoke]

It looks cool but there really no need in shit like this

[darkrider182]

Is that a Saitek Cyborg you're using?

[intelxenon]

im so glad i married you Rob :P

[igrenade]

:| i still prefer 16:10, this looks way too stretchy.

[wdtiger]

It only looks stretched because he's compressing the view so you can see the whole image. It looks normal when you're sitting in front of the screens yourself.

[igrenade]

aw man, looks like this page is filled with ultra-widescreen fanboys, got thumed down 3 times already lol. BUTTHURT

tbh i can see the stretching in games even on my monitor (set to 16:10 obviously), which run @ 1680x1050 at all times. it's just less noticeable but it's clear once i focus on the sides of my monitor.

doesn't mean i hate widescreen though, don't get butthurt kiddos.

[Robbaz]

@igrenade

i dont hate you i just think it's good that you say what you think, it start flamewars against people like me.

[ljdn1010]

I want a 5040x1050 tv! that looks so awesome, and gives you a big advantage to have such a wide view. great vid :)

[Jusba666]

I have most annoying mouse lag ever in this game. No matter how I move my mouse it only goes to the right and up and I always find myself looking at the sky. I cant play the game im on a first chapter where few guys are going with that boat. My mouse is Razer Lachesis. Please help me!!!

[EDKsurly]

Maybe a vertical sync issue?

[mupp33n]

@Jusba666 Rofl. You pirated the game, go read the frikkin readme. The fix is to put all the TEXT files in the folder aswell..

[rambozokni]

buy the game.

[filleman17]

how can this game be pirated if the game hasn't released yet? :S

Downloading it right now :D (I've preordered it so it's ok to download in my opinion :D )

[mupp33n]

@filleman17 Youre a retard. You ask how the game can be pirated if it hasnt been released, then youre saying youre downloading it? WHAT?

[mltdwn21]

@filleman17 Um, he may not have pirated it, Target broke street date and have already been selling it since Friday.

[HongKongKanto]

but your monitors dont perform @ 120 hertz like mine.

[Demolitionguy]

How did you get this game so early ? torrent...

[norway61911]

@Demolitionguy Maybe beta?

[4tun3dBACK]

@norway61911

dude the beta is closed, and this is a part of the singleplayer, I don't know how but there are 4,5 videos on youtube with singleplayer footage...and its pretty strange since it comes up on march 2nd....

[Demolitionguy]

@norway61911 No Beta is over and theres Mutliplayer Demo out thats all , Bad company 2 were leaked 2 days ago to pc and its up on torrents site thats why robbaz got it..

[SVTFilms]

dude i want to get this game so bad!

[jokerdevil572]

i had this game 2 days ago lol and i still havnt completed it. oh yeh to get into extra wide screen what stuff will i need?

[alexanderjet]

awesome!

[hdwblade]

JW: What recording program do you use? You get amazing FPS for recording at that res on (i assume) the highest settings... Hmm... *Goes to look for vid of you playing Crysis*

[Robbaz]

It's fraps best recording software in my eyes.

[hdwblade]

Wow. I'm surprised. It seems like even people with extreme PCs still have trouble recording with Fraps at the highest resolutions. Guess not. ;D

[Robbaz]

Nah they just dont set it up properly.

[hdwblade]

You should make a vid with your settings :). I used to use it but moved on because of poor performance while recording compared to other software. There isn't much to change, though? Just full or half screen and what FPS to record at right? Now I'mma hafta look into this.

[FreshZerglings]

dude stop pirating games. this will just eventually leave to PC gaming's demise

[Robbaz]

dont worry i preordered this and hell why would anyone want to pirate a swedish game? :3

[mupp33n]

@Robbaz You already did pirate it ;)

[lordjamito007]

he wont have pirated it, the guys got Triple Screens, I dont think he Will drop as low as a pirate.

[mupp33n]

@lordjamito007 He did you 'tard. Hes also a Student and I remember him mentioning somewhere that he get money by buying low end and selling them, and saving up money.

Oh and the game is coming out in 5 days in EU, and 3 days in the US. And robbaz is in sweden aka Europe.

[lordjamito007]

read above 'why would anyone wanna pirate sweedish games'. No need for the 'tard either, i was simply saying what i thought, perhaps u should have a read of the comments first. 'tard.

[kewie727]

"you here some fucking muslim scream ac130! " you ignorant fuck...

[benjaminexell]

glad to see dice optimized multiple screens :)

cant wait to get it

[jon2oo6spb]

very cool :)

[best270595]

holy shit 3 screens nice :D

[S1BoY]

i didnt like this game...

MW2 is way "better" looking&intresting game.

this one remind me of an old style PS1 shooters =/

[larsenmark277]

@S1BoY

LOL! You need glasses!

[S1BoY]

@larsenmark277

lol nah, i have this game...

playing on E8400@4Ghz

HD4850 OC'D

all this on LG W2284F 22 inch LCD screen...

max setting, and still i dont like it =l

remind me of an old style PS1 shooters...

[larsenmark277]

lol ^^. MW2 is just shoot and kill

[badcompanydude]

how did you get the game so early??

[frejgun]

piracy

[m4tth2w92]

the music is cool and goes with the video lol

[KapteinFruit]

It's not what I see. I see a 16:9 image, not 16:10. Cuz' I have a full HD monitor.

[b0ss6769]

can't remember which stage was it last night,

but the scene that you had to shoot down soldiers with the sniper when the Thunder strikes so nobody can hear you ... was damn damn damn meeee :)

[b0ss6769]

Good player man. ;)

the jungle maps seriously have the best gfx ive seen.

[Kenjineering]

hey robbaz,

I think the resolution in the title is wrong...

"5040x104"

x104 pixels LOL very thin

[SHOOT3RiG3ARS]

Yo Robbaz does the retail version look and run much better than the beta version?

[b0ss6769]

it does.

[SHOOT3RiG3ARS]

good :)

[thakilla943]

Do you warez all your games to get them sooner?

[janis0zo]

Whats so special with the hud being in the middle monitor? Also this looks very good, but i thought the game wasnt released yet

[lollypopdude]

@janis0zo T'is released. Released few days ago.

[liamcollister]

it's in the middle so you don't have to turn your head to see the hud, it's on the first monitor because it would be on a single monitor setup.

[ben790924]

dont need it

if u got triple eyes

[lightphoenix1]

Well done robbaz, I played it too but then on one screen :p

[Left4Pie]

NICE :P

[Dark1KZ]

Too wide IMO

[DarkS3phiroth17]

great, can be played online? i mean "your version"

ps: i have a 4890 i thinking to buy a second one, maybe the 2gbs model, can they be crossfired? i mean the 1gb and 2gb version.

i play on one 36" 1920x1080

[mastergoddy]

awesum! But im still waiting on my pre order xD

[SilkroadLegendROCK]

I dunno but i prefer 1 Screen, much better.

[arcticf0x8]

Lucky triple monitor gamers...I have to do this crazy hard thing called "turning" to see whats beside me.

[Olaf16]

Torrented wow... Noob

[tbcalex]

This game is awesome :D

But... to short ;/ It took like 5 hours to finish :/

[AsimisterMT]

good optimalization ? because beta sucks

[SethBroNasty]

C'mon guys stop torrenting games and support the devs.

[MrKlorox]

This is more of an 'early user-promotion' for people to buy the game. I'm sure the poster already has it pre-ordered.

[liascm]

Yeah I agree, but the game was released at some DICE booths in Sweden so he might of bought it. But it's annoying how I pay for all my games and people just go ahead and get it for free. I start to feel like I'm the only one helping PC developers, and because of this unless it changes the PC platform WILL die out. That's why you need to buy your game guys. Also explains why nearly add games are getting delayed or not coming to PC, because PC is at the bottom of the to-do list.

[luger74]

I would also like to add, if only the enemies in multiplayer died the way they die in single player the game would be a perfect 10/10 on my scale.

[nightfox272]

new youtube looks shit.

[GunskiMod]

I don't see why people like this game so much. It doesn't even look that good.

[luger74]

@gunsskimod, meh its better than MW2, which btw is so glitchy, amazingly annoying and the hacking community grows ten-fold every day. And ontop of that, this offers maps up to 6 miles by 6 miles, even larger, day/night, vehicles, perks, gun addons, and farther more players per match, it just has much more to offer.

[FortunexenutroF]

Who cares about graphics? This game more than makes up for that piece of shit that IW tried to pass off as a PC game.

[GunskiMod]

Go play your tetris.

[tbcalex]

@GunskiMod lol -.- Graphics isnt everything...

[GattiF50]

NICE!

[captainclayman]

YESSSS

i can only fit/afford one screen in my room though.

[mlbbaez]

this game looks sick

[ki11joy92]

amazing... absolutly amazing..

[TheZombiePanda]

I MIGHT get 3 monitors but it seems a little over the top for me.

[student908065]

@TheZombiePanda for gaming it really is over the top..
