Widescreen Gaming Forum

Well, I've installed win7 and "configure surround" now appears, and all is well. Thanks all for your help.

Hope this thread helps someone else too.

you're still using Vista?

afaik, surround only works on win 7 and 8 (currently)

Teardropmina - I love you and want to have your babies! OK, Mrs Pibb might not like that and physically there'll be some issues ...

Thanks Delphium, really appreciate the answer.

I've tried that, running both DVI ports and the other monitor on HDMI-DVI, but no result. I even tried running just two monitors via DVI only and still no go.

Talk about frustrating. I've got all the kit, it's all compliant (not to mention costing me ...

I just brought myself a new GTX760 4GB card for 2D surround use as my old TH2Go died. I have three identical 19" BenQ FP93GX gaming screens, purchased at the same time. All three have identical resolution and frequency (1280x1024@75Hz). They are all configured and running like this, 1 via DVI cable ...

Thanks Haldi.

Parts ordered. Should be here tomorrow.

Hi.

I'm a long time TH2Go user. It's been so long I've forgotten how long it's been, something like 7 years. When they first came out anyway. I have loved each and every moment of that thing, and my god - it's had some use! It's been a real trooper but sadly, only a couple days ago, it died. I miss ...

The Samsung MD230 has 7.6mm side bezels.

I concur fuzioninfinity.

From what I gather 2GB 560GTX in SLI will perform about the same as 470 SLI. Some 470 SLI users are reporting adequate frame rates in 3DVS in some games but not all.

The way I look at it is that if I'm going to go to 3 1080p monitors, I might as well cough up for ...

Hi.

I'm currently using 3x1280x1024 19" monitors via an analogue Matrox TH2Go, and I love it!

Having used it for many years now, I am naturally never going to go back to a single screen. I'm sure there's many of you out there that can relate to that! :wink:

But, it's time for an ...

OK, firstly you must have GP4 patched to V9.6.
After installation of patch, game will then be GP4 v1.02.
You then must also use a Decrypted-nocd exe file. Without this exe file, GP4 editor programs won't work.

Patch 9.6 and GP4v1.02 decrypted-nocd exe can be found here.

Once that's all ...

It is not stretched at all. I have set up the FOV and rear clipping plane to give me a viewpoint that I like, and where the mirrors are not blocked by the monitor bezels.

The helmet visors are bespoke. They're not stretched either believe it or not. The logos on the upper visor appear central ...

I gave up in disgust and went back to Grand Prix 4. Which can't do Surround

GP4 is perfectly capable of surround:

Thanks for the reply.

I just downloaded and installed game from game.com. Game.com claim all (old) games are pre-patched to latest patch. I *assume* it would be v1.7.

Installation went well (with activation code). No CD was required to play.

I thought that maybe it wasn't 1.7 version ...

I must be really thick or something. Running COD4-MW, I can get Widescreen Fixer to "work" in that I see Widescreen Fixer toggles between Fix Enabled: Yes and Fix Enabled:No when I press * in-game, but visually it makes no difference what so ever. Everything's still stretched. Resolution is correct ...

I think one of the most important aspects of computing has been overlooked here, and that is using your computer for normal everyday operation.
In that respect, multi-monitor aces a single big-screen everytime. So for me the answer is simple.
If multi-monitor vs big single-screen is six of one ...

Bump.

Anybody got this running in TH2Go?

I'd like to mention another perspective regarding the price of TH2Go. Whilst price is always subjective to what one can afford, it's its value for money aspect that's really the relevant issue here, and frankly that's the only meaningful angle a debate on this subject can be centered around ...

Hi khula.

I use GP4Tweaker, GPxPatch etc etc and I concur that it's a top F1 sim. No doubt about it. In my opinion its "gameplay" is second to none.

As for the menus: I don't get them stretched across 3 screens, they stay on the middle screen. When I first used the TH2Go the text height in ...

The reason I bought TH2go is this game!

I hope you get it working. I have it working at 5040x1050 and I also use Gp4tweaker (for the in car padlock view).

I second the advice about only altering the F1config file, not actually the ingame resolution.

Hey Khula, what's the "in car ...
