At CES 2010 NVIDIA announced it's foray into the multi-monitor gaming world with its announcement of "3D Vision Surround." The technology will launch alongside the Germi cards, but will work with the existing GT200 family as well. This solution allows for combined implementation of 3D, Surround and PhysX.
In the BF Bad Company 2 Forums DICE developer repii indicated support for Widescreen and EyeFinity. He also discusses it on his personal dev blog. This is certainly good news, considering the track record of recent DICE titles. Please visit the forum thread to discuss, which also has the two links referenced above. We've been very vocal in our criticism of their lack of support. Let's be just as vocal in our appreciation of their support of Widescreen and EyeFinity.
We have multiple reports out that like The Witcher, the cut-scenes and dialog scenes in Dragon Age produce black screens. Everything else works fine, but this flaw basically breaks such a story-heavy game. We have word from Dave Baumann (from ATI) that a patch is pending soon. Issue effects TripleHead2Go as well. Normal widescreen is unaffected.
I put together a Detailed Report on the new Batman demo. It is Hor+ with solid support for TH and WTH. There is an issue in Surround where the "cinematic" action sequences are zoomed in too far, making them Vert-. Paddy found a work-around, that can hopefully be added into the final product before shipping.
Butch_N reports that Rise of Flight, will fully support TripleHead. Rumor is the developer is showing it in TripleHead at E3. Good news when the game releases June 8th.
Over the past couple of weeks there have been some intense discussions going on within the Insider forum regarding Anamorphic widescreen implementation. There appears to be a growing discontent with anamorphic implementation, and the Insiders were attempting to address concern.
In the end we came to the decision that a purely Anamorphic game would not be Certified by the WSGF, and that proper TripleHead2Go support would now be a requirement. We will be revising our Certification pages in the Wiki, and are now going through to review existing Certifications.
