So,you have no problem with any games at all ?

All game support 16:10,no blavk bars etc ?

When I have Surround enabled with the taskbar on my centre screen,the desktop
icons should be on the screen where the taskbar is,but they all appear on my left
monitor instead.

Is there anyway of getting this to work properly ?

I have a 3 x 23" 16:9 triple screen setup at the moment,but am thinking about going to
3 x 24" 16:10 monitors.

Just need to clarify a couple of things :

These screens will be used for gaming,do all games support 16:10 ok ?

Are there any other downsides to a 16:10 screen over a 16:9 screen ?

Any ...

I think this would be an easier solution.......buy another graphics card.

So if I add another graphics card alongside the one I have already,which is running the surround,
I should be able to have a desktop enviroment on my 4th display ?

Thanks for the link to your thread......

I'm pretty much having the same problems,did you ever get it to work properly ?

Ok,I just tried to setup the 3 screens with DVI>DVI>HDMI which worked fine,

Only problem is, wheneverI I try to connect my 4th display with the displayport connector
in the back of the graphics card,it completely knocks out the 3 screens in surround ?

Ok,thanks for that......

At the moment my surround is connected by DVI \ DVI \ Displayport & my 4th display is
connected by Hdmi.

So I will swap them round,so that the 4th display has the Displayport & the surround
has the Hdmi.

I have just purchased the Obutto R3volution gaming cockpit for flight sims etc.

I have my 3 screens setup on that for surround,but I don't always want to sit in the
cockpit to do do everything.

I have a 4th monitor which is on a seperate desk,and I would like to use this for general
desktop use ...

Thanks for the information.......

So basically it is possible,but the game I will be running on the centre screen,has to be in a window
rather than in fullscreen mode ?

Was just wondering if I could have an acitve windows desktop on the left right screen,whilst
having a game running on the centre screen ?

I have a MSI 6950 Twin Frozr III at the moment,but before I bought this,
I wanted the 6970 Lightning,but was out of stock.

Now,that it is coming back into stock soon,do you think
it would be worth upgrading to it ?

What am I likely to get....an extra 5fps or 10fps ?

Not sure if you picked up a stand yet, but Ergotech now has UK distribution through a company called MBS. You should be seeing an ad on the left side with a coupon code for ten pounds off.

No,I haven't purchased a stand yet,was looking at getting the XFX one.

But will now have a look at ...

I had looked at these before,but feel it may end up quite expensive with shipping from US > UK + Tax.

Need to find something in the UK really.....?

Thanks for the positive replys & information.......

Although I won't get any bigger resolution with these screens,which I don't mind as 1920 x 1080 is fine for me,the screens
will be bigger & and I get better panels :)

A worthwhile upgrade me thinks :twothumb

Now to sort out a ...

I have 3 x Dell monitors P2210H and was thinking of upgrading these to 3 x Dell U2311H.........

Just wondering if you thought the upgrade was worth it ?


Advantages
----------

IPS panel
Better viewing angles
Bigger Screens :)


Disadvantages
-------------

No HDMI ...

I have 3 x Dell P2210H monitors,and was wondering what stands you guys are using for your monitors ?

The only requirements are,that the stand needs to be flexible for aligning the outer screens at differrent angles,
and I would also need the height adjustment as well.

I am based in the ...

Why do you sit so close to your monitor in FPS-games then? :) Is it becuase of lack of space on your desk or becuse you want to look closer at your screen to spot/aim at enemies better? Maybe you should consider getting bigger monitors, or just a bigger middle-monitor ;) Or maybe move your side ...

I get the same thing,Crysis 2 up to date and using Catalyst 11.6 drivers.....

What about running portrait when not using racing games? Should help you see more of the other 2 screens!

I did already think off that,but wouldn't want the hassle of keep rotating the screens to play different games........

Probably been dabbling with Eyefinity for the last 18 months now,started using a 5770 (not really powerful enough at the time ) so upgraded to 5970 ( very nice card ),and so the next logical upgrade for me was the 6990 ( Awesome ).

Now,probably like alot of you out there,I do play quite a lot ...
