Widescreen Gaming Forum

The graphics card I picked up recently, was the SAPPHIRE 7970 GHz Edition 6GB.

The 6GB of vram is awesome, especially if you can go crossfire.

For my monitors I went with 3x Asus VE278s. However honestly at a normal desk 3x 27" screens are a bit too big. Most monitor stands don't have enough ...

Ok, just resized back to 1920x1080. Umm... the graphics are horrible >.< The original looked better. Most glaring right now are the horrible shadows, and the lack of any options to change anything aside from resolution.

I'm getting massive amounts of tearing with vsync on or off with eyefinity. All other games are working fine.

Running AMD 6950 with 12.6 drivers.

Also, is anyone else having to totally quit the game in order for the settings to take effect?

Got mine a few days ago. Again, whomever is sizing this got the measurements wrong. There is no way 3 28" would fit on this thing. My 3x 27" screens are barley able to fit on the ends of the rails, and I can't get the end caps back on to secure them.

Other than that it's a pretty solid design ...

Awesome find. Sadly the 3x1 was sold out =/

Oh well... if they twist my arm, I'll just buy the 3x2 since its on sale as well for well less than what I can get a 3x1 for elsewhere.

Now lets hope they are truthful. I've got 3 27" Asus monitors to mount on the bottom tier and 3 19" to mount ...

I'd love to see this information, plus if people were brave enough. Tear downs and debezelled measurements. I know my old monitors once torn down reduced the bezel gap by a couple of cm.

GTX 680 :rockout

Also... for some reason the 580 is a power hog.

As far as the AMD/ATI vs Nvidia....

I've had both, and my 100% preference is now for AMD cards. In terms of ease of setup, updates, and swapping back and forth between multi-monitor and single monitor setups, AMD wins IMO.
I had dual GeForce gtx 460s in SLI before. I lost 1 card, and suddenly ...

First thing's first though.... the annoying Piranha bytes movie must die.

Rename the following and the game will skip straight to the menu.

Lol. After doing the edits to the xml files, now my game starts in German >.<

Need to add a at the end of that setting in the ConfigDefault.xml

As of right now I can't even get the game to launch... click risen2 icon... nothing.

@ Peppergomez.

I like the sound of your setup. Though it will pose a couple of challenges.


With specifics to your questions.

1. Yes, I use nexus mod manager to launch my game all the time. Just start widescreen fixer and leave it in the background. I've set my mod manager to run ...

[quote].....

2. The interface. Mods like Skyui are a great platform and something we should really try to learn a lot from to develop our own adaptation of the mod for multi-mon.

Has anyone contacted the Skyui mod maker and asked if he could scale it down? Look as though if it were scaled ...

Hmm, well all I can say is that I just copied the previous exe over and I was able to play with no problems. The only thing I ran into was that an ini setting in the SkyUI config that handles item images got reset, other than that I haven't encountered any problems yet.

That's how I got ...

Found a copy of the 1.5.24 patch on Pirates bay. Confirmed it works with the existing helifax fix.

Very sad when I have to go look on a pirates site for something I paid money for...

Now, Back to Skyrim!

(I'd post the link... but the forum mods don't like link to pirate software sites ...

Amazingly I actually had a copy of the TESV.exe saved that is from 1.5.24. Didn't even realize it until an hour ago heh.

Want to email me a copy? :santa:

Found a program we should probably all use. Skyrim unplugged.

Did Skyrim update today? Now as soon as Widescreen Fixer enables, the game crashes to desktop.

yes, 1.5.26 came out. Helifax won't have a fix ready till the weekend.

My main reason for not is copy right issues.... no matter the purpose, idiot people with lawyers will claim "omg you're pirating! Time to sue!" Only place I find anything close to old packages of the install are from pirate sites.. go figure.

I do think it's time however that we work on a more ...

Honestly in prior patches all I needed was to put in the correct TESV.exe to get my old patches to work. Think i've got an old 1.3v sitting around that worked with Hayden's patch just for this reason. Though I wanted 1.5 so I could use mods =/

Forgot to save a backup copy of the 1.5.24 exe.

sigh... I really despise the idiots at steam who keep forcing game breaking "fixes" every patch. New version 1.5.26 now. And of course the widescreen fixer is broken again.
