Title: SoftTH configuration for AH?
Post by: 33Vortex on January 27, 2010, 08:13:01 AM
Anyone mind sharing a configuration that works? AH keep crashing when I start up so obviously my config isn't working.

My hardware:
3 x 1920x1200 panels
2 x GTX280 in SLI

First off, should I disable SLI to get this working? Or what's the deal?

I think you need to kill sli as you need three video outputs to work.
I'll send you my SoftTH config file when I go home for lunch along with the video cfg AH file.

At a hefty performance hit though. The game runs at 5960x1200 but only get 25-30 fps. Looked around a bit and found that the Triplehead2Go actually support SLI mode on all three screens. This is really a must for me as otherwise I'm wasting all the power of one of the GTX280 cards. So... guess I'm buying a TH2G.  :rolleyes:

Initial take on it is that I much prefer the 2560x1600 resolution, but that opinion might change after some testing and optimization. Also, I have yet to rig the 3 fully adjustable monitor arms I bought together with the monitors. A lot of work to get this right but once set up right it might prove worth it, and I sure hope so!

here's a zip of my two files:

yes. you take a hit but I get more than enough fps to enjoy it. I get alittle streching on the side monitors too but they are more for effect than actual use as I am looking straight ahead 99% of the time.
Good luck with your setup.

Ever consider an ATI 5870 video card?  IIRC it supports up to 4 monitors on a single card...
