Hi all,
Recently acquired a couple of 17" screens, and put them in portrait alongside my 24" 16:10.
So i have [Left 1024 x 1280 on HDMI>DVI cable] [Center 1920 x 1200 on DVI] [Right 1024 x 1280 on DVI]
Card is an R9 280x - CPU i5 3570K and 8 gig ram.
What i'd like to do is get some games happening in [Wide 3968 x 1200]
Seems Eyefinity is not an option, a little disappointing.
So far in windowed mode 1920 x 1200 games work if i put the window across 2 screens.
Is there a way to force 3968 x 1200 res in games?
I have tried messing with config files and Flawless Widescreen, and no luck.
Searching the forums shows a DX9 tool (forget name) but no solid results.

Re: Looking for help with PLP setup
the new AMD Drivers support Eyefinity with different resolution Monitors!
So you could setup a 3x1 Landscape setup.

Have already tried without luck.
The best i can get is with it forcing the centre monitors res down to 1280x1024 to match the others.
In addition i don't have the room to run the 'wings' in landscape.

SoftTH, is a DX9 tool that allows you to map a game over multiple monitors in various configuration like the configuration you are trying to achieve, but it is of cause limited to DX9 only.
Sadly there are no other free/cheap alternatives for a PLP to be seen as a single large surface to be able to play games on it.
There is a way to do this with a bit of hardware, but it is not cheap, ~£800-1000 for a Datapath X4 video wall controller

Re: Looking for help with PLP setup
It is very depressing how little the world knows about PLP. There are plenty of options, you just need to find them. I know this message isn't helpful, but I don't know where to start. ...v81's monitors are not ideal for PLP, that is the start. They will work and be fun, but not ideal.
