Hello everyone, Tronnic here! :)

Post by Tronnic »

Hello WSGF Community!

My name is Frank, and I am from germany. Hopefully my english is good enough for you guys. :thumbup:

Lets begin with the story how I came to my tripple monitor setup. I had a single 27" Samsung SyncMaster LED Monitor and a 23" Fujitsu Siemens LCD Monitor. I always wanted to try out 3D-Vision (on a single monitor). So I bought an 27" 120Hz 3D Monitor with NVidia 3D Vision. Gaming was awesome with 3D. The problem was, that my eyes starded to hurt after about 2 hours of gaming. After 2 weeks I decided to send this 3D Monitor back. Bit I guess I was a day to late to get my money back. They gave me an coupon to buy something else for my money. I saw a few videos on youtube from users that use 3 monitors to play. And thats what I made with my money. I bought another 2 Samsung 27" Monitors. At this time I "just" had a single GTX 680 Phantom. I found out that one GTX 680 is enough to play all games on 5760x1080 on about middle settings. Since I am an graphic enthusiast (is it called like that? :shifty: ) I wanted to play any game on max. settings. Even with 5760x1080 :shock: So I decided to buy a second GTX 680 Phantom. :crazy: This is the system I have right now:

Intel Core i7 2600k @ 4,4GHz
2x Gainward NVidia GTX 680 Phantom SLI
8GB DDR3 Ram
Asus P8Z68-V
Corsair Force3 120GB SSD's + a few normal HDD's

And right now I need to say: I can never ever go back to 1 screen. Its just amazing to play with 3 screens.

Now a few pictures from my desk.

How it was before:

How its now:

I set it up like that because of my steering wheel. Was hard to get this thing sit tight on the corner of my desk.

I also made a few YouTube Videos of me using TrackIR with NVidia surround and a few gameplay videos. Sorry if the gameplay videos are just in 1920x1080 since I dont know how to render them with the correct resolution (5760x1080)

Me with TrackIR:

And another last question: Can someone tell me how I upload this with 5760x1080 with Adobe Premiere? ^^
And am I allowed to use the WSGF logo in my videos? I really like this site for some reason ;)

Have a nice day!
-Franky.

:welcome

Skid, one of our fellow mods is your man for triple screen you tube videos, youtube does not natively accept anything over something like 4096 pixels wide, so If I recall he uses DXTory to record the game to a set resolution maintaining the aspect ratio.
I am sure he can provide more detail on this :)

Hope you enjoy your stay.

This TrackIR really looks cool. But except running straight and looking back ther's no real benefit.... ?
Does it work with every game? or is it Limited?

For Videos on Youtube. i just take my 6048*1080 Videos and reconvert them into h264 4090*736pixel.
We gonna send it to outa space!

There are just a few games that fully support TrackIR.

I just use it for ArmA 2 and iRacing.

You can "catch" your mouse for games that doesnt support it. But I never tested that. For me its mainly for ArmA II, since I need a lot vision and head movement there. And its really nice if you can look behind you. For example to secure the area behind you, look where your teammates are etc. :)
