If you can wait until Sept or so hold out for the new SB-E (socket 2011, x79 chipsets.)

If not, I think a 2600K with a good mobo would be a good choice.

If Nvidia ever adds quick profile switching between Extended Desktop and Surround modes, I'll immediately dump my HD5850.

Come on Nvidia; ATi can't get their drivers right, maybe you can...


I don't think anyone can... maybe Microsoft. Switching to Surround or Eyefinity with either card ...

Thanks to dopefish (and hayden) for a quick and awesome fix and keeping up with the patches!! :rockout (i've donated to the widescreenfixer cause twice now :D )

5760x1080, no bezel correction, 80 - 90 fps with no stuttering or anything, Nvidia surround with SLI EVGA 580 SCs all video settings ...

lol thats not so bad, the noise is much more noticeable than heat tbh, running tri-sli of GTX 480, and using headphones - no problems at all, the performance is awesome, so is the immersion.

Thanks, thats good enough for me... i'm sold :rockout

Gran Turismo 5 for sure, that would be sweet with 3 monitors and computing horsepower.

Anything FPS on a console is horrible vs a PC (KB and mouse.)

SLI/Tri-SLI question for the users with this setup. Hows the heat dump in your homes from this monster setup? I can stomach the price of the cards and water blocks and they would be going into an overkill water cooling setup but i'm not sure I want to turn my office into a sauna. I also like to GPU ...

So what's the verdict, fixer is ok to use on steam or no?

No problems using the fixer on steam since the game came out.

I have 3 P2310H's running on a 5870 and I have had no issues :rockout (after dealing with DP > DVI adapter nightmares)

Validated to be a piece of crap :lol: Many here have had problems with the adapters listed on that site myself included.

Awesome work dopefish! :cheers

Me 3. Inspired me to register on the IW forums and write this rambling post in their forums: http://www.modernwarfare2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=248624&sid=9a0acaf56fd4c4bb55d86a05a31434d3

Looks like MW2 was recompiled again and broke Widescreen Fixer again. Worked last night, broken now, MW2 shows v1.0.175 vs widescreen fixers 1.0.174.

The Dell P2310's are good budget monitors. I bought 3 of them at $222 shipped each.

The Dell P2310H's are $222 shipped. 23" and they are OK monitors, and have native DP.

MORE 5870 frustration...

After ordering 3 new Dell DP monitors, the first one showed up today. I was excited to plug it in and solve my eyefinity problems (dell dp>dvi adapter flickering.) I turn on my computer and.... MY 5870 IS DEAD! aurrrgh!! Never OC'd or anything...

$$$ thrown at ...

Agreed, I'm waiting on 3 Dell 2310Hs and have already RMA'd the dp>dvi adapter. Wish I would have seen this post before buying the active adapter pos and 2 more non DP monitors.

Life's too short. I'm tired of dealing with this nonsense.

ATI: To release something like this and not bother ...

Well... count me in as one more dell/bizlink dp>dvi adapter causality. I'm using 3 Samsung 2343bx monitors on a XFX 5870 and the monitor on the DP adapter flashes on and off uncontrollably. Time to RMA this POS and hopefully get my $$$ back... what a money pit.

The real unfortunate thing is ...
