I have a couple of GTX 295

I have a couple of GTX 295 around, so I pulled the TH2GO and installed them with 3 monitors with span displays using the NVIDIA control panel at 5040x1050.

The graphics are much better, and don't stretch like they did with the TH2GO. Strange, because it is the same resolution.

Thanks, I looked for a config

Thanks, I looked for a config file with no luck.

After a few missions and a free flight I am very impressed with the 3D world, it is striking. The cockpit view has a lousy feel to it that doesn't like it stretch over the 3 screens very well. Gauges are hard to read and don't have a realistic ...

It's a free download from www.microsoft.com/games/flight

I had to switch to a single monitor and go to options>graphics>fullscreen (uncheck to off).

Then reboot with TH2GO. So it doesn't crash now, but it looks like the perspective is stretched with the window across all 3 screens, which ...

Microsoft Flight

I have been waiting a long time for this game, downloaded it and ran it on my TH2GO 3 monitor setup and CRASH!

Oh, man, that hurt. I even bought $20 in microsoft points to buy some of the addons.

I guess I'll plug in one monitor and try it there, it's been a long time since I did that ...

Install Matrox's application

Install Matrox's application SGU
Run it
Select Flight Simulator X or
Flight Simulator X - Acceleration Pack
Under Resolutions, select 5040x1050 (I assume)
Click on the Optimize button.
Run FSX

At least it worked for me.

F1 2010 (Steam) & TH2Go

WOW! Working great, no need to set anything, automatically went to 5080x1050 without touching graphics settings. Very nice game, once I learn to stay on track, I'm sure it'll be even better.

Only 20 seconds behind the field.

Re: ARMA II Update Working Great in Triple Head

Mine was from Steam dated 6-28. My previous version worked most of the time in windowed mode, now it just works perfectly full screen / windowed / with no problems. I think this corresponds to the 1.07 for the boxed game.

ARMA II Update Working Great in Triple Head

Just got a recent update for ARMA II (June 28, 2010). Finally, full support for triple head. All resolutions working great. I previously was able to get it to work in windowed mode with some tweaking, but now it just works with no fuss at all.

Re: At long last. The end of TH2GO is in sight.

It doesn't end the TH2GO, it simply matches it. It's a good thing for everyone, because developers will not be able to ignore the triple head configuration.

Crysis

OK, so I bought the TH2Go for Christmas and I installed Crysis and updated to v1.2.1
The only way I can get it to run on all three monitors is to select the options>systems settings>graphics>video mode 2400x600

Is that it? Any way to get 5040x1050?

Thanks,

Re: 5040 / 1050 BUT. Check Images. Alingment problem.

How does the monitor perform in other resolutions? As a single head? No border problem there?

If Lara gained that much weight, I doubt she could climb and jump around very well.

TH2GO and Half Life 2: Lost Coast

I see that HL2:Lost Coast is listed in the Matrox Surround Gaming list.

I have HL2:Episode One and Lost Coast running on Steam. Episode one runs perfect on my TH2G 5040x1050 setup. I don't think I even made a options setting to work, it just defaulted to the right mode.

Lost Coast won't ...

Oh, WOW! Perfect, glad I dropped by. FOV of 80 works great in 5040x1050.

Re: Conclusive 5040 fix for all nVIDIA users !

THANK YOU!

I just got the TH2Go 2 days ago, and just today got my third monitor. I was unable to get 5040 x 1050 (from PowerDesk) to work until I tried this.

My only problem is that yesterday, I had successfully set up a dual 1980 x 1080 (x2), so that is my native resolution because I can ...
