Now in gaming, does this give you an advantage, or does it stretch what you would see on 1 screen across the 3 screens?

[smartray05]

@Goldenn16 It does not stretch 1 to 3, it adds field of view to the peripherals. So in essence, giving you an "advantage."

[Lucasdeboer]

@smartray05 So, same effect as Nvidia surround? what you see on the left and right, you don't see on 1 screen ?

[smartray05]

@Lucasdeboer yep... extra resolution, similar to AMD Eyefinity and Nvidia Surround Vision

[Lucasdeboer]

@smartray05 Thanx for the respond. Only 1 question to ask, is your frame rate going 3 times lower because off the extra 2 monitors ?

[smartray05]

@Lucasdeboer more or less... yea... because everything is still being rendered on one video card. Just imagine playing a game at three times the resolution of normal.

BTW, SoftTH x64 doesn't work with Crysis 2, not even firing up the prompt, so I know 32bit is the right way to go. And there's no problem with my rig either. I have DCS A-10C running on SoftTH x64 on triple monitors real nice and steady, I'd love to get Crysis 2 to work as well. I've turned DX11 support ON/OFF with no difference.

[Alexrcpilot]

Dude did you also achieve this with Crysis 2? I've been trying to get SoftTH 2.08b Alpha(32bit) to work with Crysis 2 (32bit) on my Windows 7 x64 platform. The dll is obviously activated because I've been prompted to create a cfg file, but then after the game starts it always stays on the central monitor. I've restarted the game over and over again after the cfg has been created and never got it to span across my triple monitors. Please let me know if you've had any luck, thanks!

Do you have GTX500 series? If so, then can I use triple 24" monitors with Quad SLI GTX580?

[nottinmatterz2day]

Do you plug all monitors in 1 video card or have to use 2 ?

[Ozziguy6]

@IIMercuri um 6850 is shit, you need 2x 6970

[BassPounderX]

@Goldenn16 no advantage look at the first cut scene on a songl monitor thne on tripl eu see exactly the same thing

[ratedEG]

i have a 25" and just ordered 2 23" from overstock so i guess it will look ok. thanks for posting'

[IIMercuri]

Would 1 Radeon 6970 and an intel i5 2500k run max settings crysis on 3 monitors smoothly?

Or would 2 Radeon 6850's be better?

[bfmvftwtriviumftw]

@smartray05 would using 2 graphics card work with this?

[DuckL0rd]

Can I touch it? Just for a minute? :(
