Can you post an image of your custom driver settings for 60Hz please?

This is a slightly different issue since it's the monitors that need fooling...but frankly I think I'm about to give up on the triplehead, I just don't game enough to justify the messing around. I removed it last night, added an extra graphics card to deal with screens #3 and #4, and am enjoying ...

Both. Is that wrong? I was on the old drivers so long I can't remember if that's wrong now...you've got me wondering.

The screen my monitor throws up informing me I'm not running optimal settings. There're a few screens that support 57Hz but reeeeally like to remind you it should be 60Hz.

This 60Hz fix was holding my rig together for the longest time, but I've just updated to 190.58 and 2.05.00.020 and it no longer seems to work. I've got 5040x1050@57Hz, but the nag screens are an utter pain. Short of changing screens, is there anything I can do? I read around the forum and I can't ...

At 3840x1024 there's no problem to any silly number of pixels IIRC...I never tried numbers greater than about 200 pixels, but it just didn't misbehave at that resolution for me.

Useless *&^%$£!s :evil:

I've been away for quite some time, but am glad to be back...tried 60Hz and it seems to work and gets rid of those annoying monitor nags. Not restarted or tried gaming etc, but chuffed nonetheless :)

Assuming you've done everything right they might have changed panels, it's a common practice.

Did you manage to run a single screen at 1680x1050@57Hz (no triplehead)?

59.4kHz(sic) 56Hz PN (sic again, probably relates to the TN panel type :?) here with Samsung 2253LWs.

You'll quickly run into problems with what resolutions the screens can all actually use...especially if you want a 16:10 aspect resolution on the centre screen.

Yes, the cables between the TH2Go and monitors need only be single-link. You only need a dual-link cable between the graphics card and TH2Go for 4320x900 and 5040x1050.

edit: doing the sums, it'd seem you don't need a dual-link for 4320x900, but don't quote me.

My mistake, good effort all round though...lets hope it's infectious and Matrox try and fix up 5040 to the same functionality as 3840 has :D

Ah, I don't know about the steam version, but patch 1.1 was fine for TH2Go with the standalone game.

Many thanks mattsimis, your previous trick (of copying the install dir) didn't work for me, but this does :)

I think I'm right in saying now all that is left are the borked bezel management on the left screen (I assume this would take a firmware flash), and the 57Hz/dX10 stuff (that I assume is ...

They really really need to raise the level of their game if they want to sell these things. And stop claiming that games like Bioshock work "out of the box" when, in fact, it's totally unplayable due to being hor-.


You realise triplehead2go support was added in patch 1.1? I realise that ...

You're not missing anything, but I'd recommend giving them a screenshot of the display properties in which 1 contiguous 5040-wide screen is visible and one screenshot showing 3 separate 1680-wide screens. That'll ram the point home.

What GXM version are you using? Mine is 11.10.302.8.
The only thing I did with GXM (other than Bezel Management) was setup 1680x1050 single screen as one of the 3 supported modes. I also install GXM after 5040 is up (as its not doing anything before anyway).


Same GXM, same resolutions ...

All this is far from perfect, I concur. I even forgot the DX10 part - a shame indeed (especially since you need a DX10-compatible card to begin with !) :doh

Still, whether it's a "money pit with no guarantees" or not depends on each user's config, needs and no-go's. So many people would use ...
