Widescreen Gaming Forum

It's not surprising that a game in alpha stage like Endless Space would work well in multi-monitor. I've always said that it actually takes more work on the developer's part to make multi-monitor NOT work. The only extra work that needs to be done for multi-monitor is to make the HUD placement ...

You're missing mý point actually. I wasn't implying which version was better, I was agreeing it IS broken and contemplating WHY.
Also meaning, that there's probably not much they will do about it as their main platform is probably the console.
Ports tend to suck... just like I'm having issues ...

Looks like publishers don't want my money. I usually rent from Gamefly to try a game before deciding if I want to buy it. The same goes for PC games if it's available on consoles. If this is all true, of course. This is still speculation at this point.

I also watch people play games I'm ...

My former roommate had a 52" Samsung DLP that I connected my computer to, but there were some severe overscan issues using HDMI and like most televisions, the color was washed out using VGA. I actually had the same issues with my Playstation 3 over HDMI, but oddly enough, my Xbox 360 looked great ...

I will test my 2gb 6950 thanks!

Skyrim is a CPU-bound game, so most of the performance bottleneck comes from your processor. Skyboost improves performance mainly by replacing FPU calls with SSE2 calls. I'm hoping there will be SSSE3 and SSE4.1 versions in the future.

The Dark Souls PC Petition has Namco Bandai's Attention
Should start lobbying efforts for proper widescreen and Eyefinity/NVIDIA Surround support in case this comes to fruition.

Is this still available for testing? The link in the OP is invalid. If you uploaded a new version, you need to update the link because Mediafire generates a new file key for every file uploaded even if it replaces a file with the same file name.

Televisions generally have more input lag than a monitor. If the control issue is really hindering your enjoyment of the games then I would consider connecting your Xbox (I assume you're talking about Xbox 360 since you mentioned Gears of War) to your monitor instead of your TV. If you can, do it ...

That link is from more than a year ago and the website has undergone a few changes since then. HaYDeN is working on a proper fix (he has some screenshots somewhere around here), but in the meantime you can try these workarounds. These won't fix the menus, unfortunately.

EVGA makes a GTX 570 with 2.5GB of VRAM, the GTX 570 HD 2560MB. If you have the money for pair, you can't go wrong with them (they retail for $399.99 each). I can't speak for its multi-monitor performance, but I purchased one of these myself for single screen 1080p gaming and I couldn't be happier.

Okay, here's the thing: I'm thinking of going Nvidia Surround in order to able to play Witcher 2 at maxed settings (without Uber). I'm torn between two options: A) GTX 580 SLI or B) GTX 590

I'm gravitating more towards the 590, because I truly don't want the headache of running two cards ...

I would stay away from Tritton because it's a MadCatz brand, and they have a reputation for having the worst build quality of any peripheral manufacturer out there. I can attest to that, having not bought a MadCatz product in more than ten years (when I have the choice). Only MadCatz products I own ...

This is weird because 720p is a 16:9 resolution... I don't think there is anyway around it unfortunately.

Make sure there is enough current going through your +12V rails, not to mention that you have a separate lane open for each card. I've read that the 6970 requires at least 18 amps, plus a little extra head room since you never want your power to be maxed. So I'd say 25 amps each. As for power ...

The performance difference is negligible. While it is slower, you wouldn't notice any difference while playing a game if one card is on an 8x lane.

This article is based on last generation hardware, but there really isn't much difference between the 5000 and 6000 series cards.

Indeed! Just got it yesterday and installed it, and wow am I blown away. Ran Metro 2033 with everything turned up except AA (AAA) and Enhanced DOF without breaking a sweat (can turn DOF on, but FPS average drops from 60 Vsync to around 30'ish). Temps peaked at 58 Celsius and it idles around 40. I ...

Been long enough so I'll add a reply.

Went ahead and ordered the EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD 2560MB. I've read around and found people reporting several newer games hitting 2GB of VRAM usage at 1920x1200. I decided to go with nVidia because of my good experience with them in the past.

Thanks ...

The fisheye problem is going to be present in ultra-wide resolutions no matter what the aspect ratio. It's just the way viewports are being rendered currently. I heard that OpenGL is adding implicit commands to render a different viewport to each screen to eliminate the problem, which means we ...

The PSU is a good one: Thermaltake Toughpower 850W. I did a lot of research to find a good PSU because I knew from the get-go I was going to build a SLI system. When I say a power issue I mean if there is a capacitor or relay that is failing within the unit. I built the system at the end of 2006, so ...

Going by pure pixel real estate you can certainly see more on a 16:10 screen with a comparable resolution. When coding I prefer to have a 16:9 screen in portrait layout myself.

Aspect ratios on displayed, as eZ pointed out, is based on the number of pixels spread horizontally to the number of ...
