WoW and Six Monitors

Post by Sadisto »

Let me explain my desktop setup before I ask my question.

I have 1 Video card with two DVI output.
I have two matrox triplehead2go devices each plugged into one of the video card ports.
Each of the matrox devices have three 19 inch dell monitors on it.

So windows thinks I have 2 monitors at 3840x1024 one above the other.
here is the best way to describe it:

I can get WoW to work on the top three or bottom three monitors easily enough but how can
I get it to span all 6? (keeping in mind that windows only thinks I have two monitors).

The behavior of the windows desktop is as if the two 3840x1024 monitors are the same. IE: I cannot have two different desktop backgrounds or 1 3840x2048 image (which I have tried).

SoftTH appears to only work for 3 monitors. Is this accurate?

You have to be running WinXP and use Vertical spanning. Vista and Win7 don't offer it. That, or get an Eyefinity6.

Ibrin, Yeah, I did more research and found that the GeForce card I use does not use DualView that
comes with nView on Vista or Windows 7 (Bad call on nVidias judgement there).

Rookjcarter, what does it matter what I play where is that relevant?
