Eve Online - Singularity Test server - Dual monitor support

Testing dual monitor support (client native) on Sisi test server.
21.09.2010

My setup:
left: 23 inch 1980x1080 LG Flatron monitor
right: 22 inch 1980x1080 LG Flatron Monitor/TV
GeFrorce 9600 GT 1024 MB DDR3 (dual DVI)

You can set up a custom point of view for your ship, moving it from one monitor to another, which means that when running a dual-monitor setup, the ship wont be split in between the screens.
I've noticed a major drop in FPS when frapsing, but the windowed mode FPS rate is normal, for me it's around 100 FPS.

Do you know if it works on screens that are different sizes?

[Asayanami]

@flagbearer223 if they can run at the same resolution then yes

my moniotrs are 1 inch different in size

DOUBLE MONITORS ALL THE WAYYYY. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!

[Ambrew11]

EVE would be the best game to have multi monitors setup

adjustable FOV is the key to having 180 or even 360 look advantage. Else the same image on one screen is just stretched over 2 screens. On a sidenote, we used to adjust fov on QuakeII so we could get a ghetto sniper scope effect with the rail gun. Ah, good ol times...

Adjust resolution ..set on smaler monitor smaler resolution that fits size,experiment ..i have 24 inch and 19 inch monitor and i set them perfectly to fit size and it works on any game that can be run in window mode

[TheJedimaster6788]

would be nice if they supported you having 2 different size monitors. I have a 28 inch main and 19 inch on the left. I wish when I dragged the window over it would auto adjust to the size of my 19 not keep the game the size of my 28...other game do it..why can't eve. Oh wait....its ccp.

@tagurit2 I dont know any game that can do it that way. The only thing games like CounterStrike do is change the Field of View. With one Monitor you only see a small area in front of you, and with 3 Monitors you can see a lot more things on the left and right side. Imagine a counterstrike map where with 1 monitor you can see the end of a tunnel, and with three monitors you can also see the door on your left with an enemy shooting at you. But looking backwards won't work.

@tagurit2 With 3 monitors and geforce-4xx (in SLI) or ati 5xxx (single or crossfire) yes, if the game supports custom non-standard resolutions. Two monitors is a problem because the crosshair would be in the middle, except the game has a special option to correct it (which they normally do NOT have). three monitors would be no problem.

... I have been using 2 screens in Eve for years - only problem was that one half of the HUD was on the left screen, the other half on the right screen. Has been possible with NVidia cards on WinXP for years (used a GF4ti4200). Now i am using an Eyefinity-Setup with 3 screens, works fine. F-keys, Capacitor and Targets on main screen, everything else on the other screens. Just buy an ATI card 5xxx (i recommend a 5850 or higher) - that's all.

It might, but it would be wonky.
