Advice needed on Nvidia 3x GTX 680 SLI - Motherboard?

Hi Guys,

I need some advice on a system to run three GTX680s and a fourth screen. I am a noob to building and I would like someone to point me to a reasonably mid priced 4 slot motherboard which will do the job. I already have two GTX 680s, and I am going to add a third. In addition, I found a ...

SOLVED : Strike Fighters 2 series FOV issue

Open Viewlist.ini,
Goto ViewClass2,
Change OffsetDistance=0.06 To OffsetDistance=-.175, or -.180 (you can increase this in small increments.)

This is not ideal as on some models the rear panel of the cockpit will obscure view, but the game is now playable in the main. :D

Still no Luck

I have fiddled around with the values in the viewlist.ini file and had no luck at all in changing the FOV of the game. I think I must be doing something wrong but for the life of me can't figure out what. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

2. Run the extractor program and point it to flightdata.cat which is in the main ...

Strike Fighters 2 series FOV issue

Does anyone know where the FOV setting can be found in the "Strike Fighters 2" games? Their predecessor, the "Wings Over (insert name of theater here)" were pretty obvious, but they will only run on 32 bit, DX 10 and are pretty much obsolete now. They run fine on Nvidia Surround, but one has the ...

Solved

Hi Again, and thanks to both of you for your help. For the most part, I have solved the main problems simply by ditching the Matrox unit and working with just the two Nvidia units. I improved the general performance in terms of desktop screen resolution and menus for games. The menus were for the ...

Dump the Matrox and go with Nvidia

Hi Sneaker...I solved the issue with COD. Simple. ......Dump your expensive Matrox unit and buy a couple of semidecent Nvidia cards. This resolved issues with screens, stretching, menus ending up in the wrong place or disappearing altogether not only with Cliffs of Dover, but a whole host of other ...

470s too long in the tooth?

Hi Coolman and thanks for your reply. My processor is an Intel Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz. The funny thing about this is that on the Matrox, I get very acceptable frame rates. I am in contact with their support people and I hope to get the very ugly display sorted out on the higher resolutions. Even ...

Try altering the resolution

Hi Nephilim. A very nice gaming rig you have. This is a long shot and you have probably thought of this, but check the ini file for resolution. There may be a number which matches the reolution that you have the game set at somewhere. It may not be as obvious as a simple label "resolution'. You may ...

Similar problems

Hi Sneaker. I have the same issue. It's rather inconvenient to have to constantly be facing west when you are setting up the game. I would imagine that this is just one of those annoying bugs that may or may not be corrected in forthcoming patches. I found that the Matrox gives very strange aspect ...
