Multiple Monitors

[theoutlaw106]

Does TDU support mulitple monitors and if so how do I make them work? Never tried it in any games other than expanding my desktop.

Hardware for it. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/
Software for it. http://www.kegetys.net/SoftTH/, but i think it's troublesome/unstable.
Forum talk about it ->http://www.kegetys.net/forum/index.php?topic=151.0

I read the thread from your post, but what I am actually trying to do is to make the center monitor looking straight ahead like the game would normally be and the two side monitors like looking out the side windows as if you would turn your head. I am running two 8800 640 GTS cards so I can actually hook up four monitors so I don't need that special box. I haven't even had a chance to try the three monitor config in the game so I was wondering if it was even worth my effort...

It doesnt matter what you already have.. you will need that box or the software version..

SoftTH is troublesome at the moment but does work on things like GTR2 and works really well might I add. The Triple Head to Go great in that theres very little fps drops, but check your native screen resolutions first, my mistake.

Games do not natively support the use of three seperate screens

The Triple head to go makes you PC beleive you have 1 large resolution monitor and the game accepts this.

This also allows the use of Crossfire or SLI with 3 screens.

Im running 3 X widescreen monitors, this isnt the best setup as everything is slightly stretched, but with normal screens it would be great.

What you get is avery similar to what you require, almost like really sitting in the driving seat !

Well I do remember Nvidia releasing a driver for a previous card that would allow games to use mulitple monitors. I just figured this carried over into later cards. Can't remember what card it was though...:confused: But anyways...I don't care to have the all three screens one giant forward view as I run a 22" just a 1.5' away from my face and its plenty big enough and I really wanted the side views in the other two monitors... But thanks for the info.

You can only run 2 monitors from your cards at the same time, and if your running 2 cards in SLI only 1.

NVidia never released a driver that suported multiple monitors for gaming, i think your confused with the NVidia 3D Stereo drivers.

For 3 screens i would recomend you get a Maxtor Triple Head 2GO

Ive got to say, even though I didnt research this for my screen sizes, it certainly does what it says on the tin.

TDU looks amazing in super widescreen, infact so do a lot of games, its amazing how they actually have support for the ridiculous resolutions, without stretching the image..

Triple Head 2 Go gets a :10sur10

For view rotation i think the game has to have that in "display customization option" but I don't think theres too many games that supports that, Maby MS flight simulator.
Can triple head expand fov (field of view) to 180°?
Though that probably look way too distorted.. a ~45° rotation would be better (would give 180° on 3 mon setup).
