Supreme Commander and TripleHead2Go?

Post by heliocentric »

OK - so its been out for a while now and I have played the demo - but, has anyone tried it on TH2Go yet?

By anyone I guess I mean the infamous Paddy? Paddy - I expect even your rig is going to chug at high res with detail turned up - or am I mistaken?

Aside from this - how have people found it with 3 monitors (assuming detail is turned down). I found the demo fun but am still using my old rig (P4 2.8 + 9800Pro) until the next DX10 cards come out (then maybe I'll get a Quad+TH2G).

Cheers,
Helio.

"infamous" ... what do you mean ? ...

Dictionary definition ...

in·fa·mous ...
1. having an extremely bad reputation: an infamous city.
2. deserving of or causing an evil reputation; shamefully malign; detestable: an infamous deed.

Which one am I ? ... :lol:


Not the kind of game I go for so I haven't tried it ... never the less I hope it works in TH and I might get around to it eventually ... I'm just busy at the moment ... 8)

i've tried it, works flawlessly! native support. All you need to do is change the menu to from a bottom bar to a sidebar, i think the shortcut is alt+up. It's fantastic if you use one video output on TH2G and your other dvi for another screen.. it's effectively quad screen gaming but you have 3 screens showing your main display with menu, and the fourth shows an overview map which can be zoomed in to the same extent as the main display.... It's harder to explain i guess... but anyway, one of the most satisfying gaming experiences yet. I've just installed the C&C3 demo, will test with TH2G later...

I'd have to go with "deserving of or causing an evil reputation" -mainly because your rig must have been stolen. 2 x 8800GTX - bah! :P

next chance i'll have to do a screenshot will be wednesday... I'll put a few up if nobody else has done one by then, although It'll only be in tri screen - as awesome as the quad screen is, adding a silver screen to a complete black setup just makes my soul cry

This game looks way better when you move the menubar to the side (alt+up arrow). Seriously, it's fantastic.
