Need For Speed: Shift - NTHUSIM+ 3 Projector Gaming

[MrChowbinbin]

looks weird, centre 1 is so dark. is all 3 same make and model? also even 3 way sli 260 may not be so good for such high resolution, just not enough ram on each graphics card. picture r just not sharp enough

@MrChowbinbin The center projector had a different light mode selected in the projector menus by accident. You see this issue in several of my early videos. Make note that the video is a year old now. Almost everything in my setup has changed two times over since then. I've went through Tri-SLI GTX260, Tri-SLI GTX470 and Crossfire 5870 Eyefinity 6 in the last year. Keep in mind that for gaming like that it's plenty sharp, but would be sharper with 1080p projectors. See my newer setups for AMD.

wth, how did you get it 3 screens????

[BHawthorne72]

@Whit3Wolff Three projectors, a custom build 180 degree circular screen and NTHUSIM. You need about $2500 budget to pull it off and a room to build it in.

@BHawthorne72 what is nthusim? software?

[BHawthorne72]

@nepalihercules Yes, it's software that makes the projectors align to each other properly.

[aerohells07]

can anybody tell me how to setup a surround screen?

[BHawthorne72]

@aerohells07 Wide Screen Gaming Forum has a subforum for projectors and the NTHUSIM site has a forum community to help with builds, support and suggestions.

I don't like it that dark spot in the middle is killing me. I'll stick with my 22in Flatron and 2x Nvidia gtx260,s

[BHawthorne72]

@ChaoticDayZ This type of build obviously isn't the sort of build everyone likes. You do have to admit though, it's nice to have the capability to do things like this now with standard off-the-shelf computer gaming components and not have it cost half a million dollars. Anyone can build something like this now if they have the room. :)

I've been watching a couple videos and doesn't it kind of bug you that the center projector is a bit darker than the other two?

[BHawthorne72]

@gunfire456369 At the time I had done most of these videos I did not notice the center projector was a out of focus. It's fixed now. You shouldn't see too much issue in future videos other than the regular edge blending issues common with all multi-projection setups.

I like this 1000x better than a multi monitor display

[BHawthorne72]

@dakillabee Thanks! I'm having fun building and refining the setup. :)
