Three moniter set up

[1Cane]

When you set your field of view in game ,do you set it to 145 degree or go with the preset settings?Will have new comp with dual 6850s and hope to run 3 moniters at 1920 by 1080 . Any advice would be appreciated

Cane I had triple monitors and the native resolution, if they are 23" widescreen, is 5760 X 1080 and the natural view if I am correct is 145 automatically.

Also when you set them up to get a better effect set them up at a 25-30 degree angle with the bezels of the outer screens behind the front one.


Here you can see, just slightly what I am talking about. Now I have never dealt with the eyefinity software but I have done the triple screen with nvidea cards.

Any questions just ask, and I or someone else can help you.

Alrighty, here is the Notchisan's setup;


I had tried the different view angle and have found that the narrower you go the more unstretched the outer picture becomes. This was a neat affect before I got my TrakIr system because without using my pov to look around,a plane at 3K from the side was the same size as the straight-forward view. I started out at 115°. It did seem like it would work better at first then I started noticing that as a plane came from my periphery I had to turn my head completely to follow it through my screens. Not only that, but it seemed that I did not mentally detect them as well from the side because of their small size.  Eventually I expanded out to the 145° point. The periphery being skewed and and bigger helps me track the target better when flying. TrakIr reinforced the periphery effect once I got that.

One thing that I like about having used the TriplHead2go system is the Bezel Management portion of the installed software.  It lines the screens up so there really is no overlap of picture.

 I am sure that you will have this with whatever way you get the triple screens. Again it would seem that having a dead spot where your mouse actually disappears would be unnerving but it is like looking through a window with panes to look around.

 Without Bezel Management, the mouse or picture splits between the 2 screens

 & that drives me crazy so I opted for the draw in of the outer screens. Not a bad trade off.

Just went to the game and a couple of observations about field of view:
1. As field of view is made smaller, you are pushed up closer to the subject you are viewing. Ie, the desk in the tower was closer at 115° and I could not see the status board of the base above it.
2. Motion is more defined by the skewed and larger outer picture of 145°

I need some advice on setting up my  triple monitor system.  I have dual 6850 cards and i am plugged into the top card at the DVI and display port.  On the bottom card I am plugged into the DVI.  I can get the computer to recognize all three displays and I can even combine one and two but I cannot get it to duplicate display number three. Has anyone used "Ultramon" ?  Any advise or help would be appreciated thank you.
