Triple Monitor

[ebfd11]

I was just curious as to how many other people use triple monitor setup in game and what resoulution they use. I am using triple at 5760x1080 and I love it.

I recently got a third used 1280x1024 for a decent price, and am now running 3840x1024 on my HD 6970 (2GB) video card.

In the modern games that support it, it looks great. In AH I haven't been flying lately since I set this up except for 1-2 offline skin testing sessions, but it works and runs pretty smooth. I couldn't say what it's like in the MA, but I will be sticking with it.

 The reason why i asked who is running a triple setup is because I will be making multi monitor backgrounds and I was just wondering what the usual settings were, for monitor size so i can adjust as needed.

You aren't using bezel correction?

[Krusty]

FLS: I don't either. IMO it's a waste of effort and I'd rather have the refraction look than miss pixels behind the "frames" like that.

ebfd11: There are so MANY different resolutions and monitors and setups that you cannot account for them all. It's a dizzying array of potential sizes from one person to the next. Better to take a couple common ones and just have folks scale up or down to fit their custom setup.

Like 3840x1024 is a low-end (budget) setup. Many folks run 1900x1080 (x3 monitors). Cover those bases and you'll probably be set for the most part.

lawn we have basically the same system except I have 2 465 vc's.  I run the 5040x1050 in game.  fps are in the high 40's when low fighting over town with lots of cons to full 60 fps.  I just realized it sucks for when you film movies so this weeked I may be returning the 3rd if I get frustrated with filming again.  then again, i got used to the 3 monitors and it feels weird to play with only one.

triple monitor is great for flight but not so much for GV  I had it but   changed back,,now I have a 40 led and it rocks!

Krusty you usually aren't looking at all your pixels anyway. Bezel correction looks like a cockpit frame instead of looking like something's wrong.

Semp what size are your monitors??? mine are a standard 1920 x 1080 .. (23" widescreen) same as yours if I remember right. So what you should try is go with the native resolution x3.

With the bezel correction I still get a setup like there is none.

With bezel correction you should see a wider resolution than 3X your monitor resolution. For example my resolution is 6048x1080 with bezel correction and 5760x1080 without it.

[Krusty]

Isn't bezel correction creating more pixels just so they overlap behind the "joints" in the monitors? you don't see any more, it's just a byproduct of the way the picture is adjusted around your monitor frames?

The scene is rendered bigger so that it can be masked by the bezels. It looks more natural.
