In your desktop setting you can change how it displays across screens. With only two screens you would have a "seam" right down the middle of you view. so I t really wouldn't work out well.

I have zero issues running AH triple screen with full details on. I also have an SLI setup, but that's to improve some other games I play (e.g. ARMA) rather than AH.

There is no SLI profile for AH so it doesn't work. I wasn't referring to triple screen but the SLI.

There are Aces High profiles for SLI and Crossfire support. They just are not done very well at all. We have no control over that. It seems you have to be a triple A game title before you get good multi-card support.

Your cards are 4 years old already anyway and with a faulty SLI profile it was completely believable to have performance problems.

I run 2048 texture size all eye canyon turned on except updates and max shadows...and I still run a solid 58-60 fps in furballs. So I don't think I am doing too bad.

you are correct mrripley, lawndart owes you an apology. I apologize to you for pointed out to you how wrong you were when you mentioned that there was no sli profile for ah.
I also apologize for bringing up the fact that I ran 3 monitors on 2 evga 465's with a faulty sli profile while having shadows at 4096. and everything maxed out except for em. I am ashamed to say that I didnt have no performance issues.
I am sorry you only spent 1/2 the money to have the same performance. on the other hand you dont really know how much money we spent. for all I know the monitor you own cost more than what we spend on ours.

We're on AH forum though. On other games you get anything from -20% to +150% benefit from paying double the price for the cards. You only need sli usually if you go triple screen or use a 4k monitor.

I needed to sli because i was gonna used 3 screens and at the time the only way to do it was with 2 cards. so I did it for the benefit of having 3 screens and it was worth it to me. I got a great return on my investment. specially when the second card only cost me 120 bucks or so.

According to benchmarks, triple screen setup is one of the scenarios where SLI makes sense as it scales well to high resolutions.
