Holy crap Triplehead gaming is awesome!

Just got my new toys set up (thnx Ibrin) and, well, the title says it all.

Surround Gaming is un-flippin-believable. Sure, the first 10 minutes gave my eyeballs an epileptic fit, but once that passed, I was in the game. Adding peripheral vision actually gives meaning to the term First Person Shooter (L4D, I'm scared of you), and I can see why racing junkies love Triplehead.

I vote that Matrox gets exclusive rights to the word "immersive" until someone invents a real holodeck.

Can't wait to add the Ergotron stand to the mix. :D

Welcome to the club (of hating every unsupported or vert- game and of never being able to stand playing any rig not set up like yours - still - it's a lot of fun and I wouldn't go back.)

I just joined the party today, or well, yesterday now I suppose.. And already I'm in love.

Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, L4D.. Hell, everything I've played so far has just been amazing!

Fallout3? What kind of settings are you using for surround. I think I detected some lag on my dual 4850's just maxing it out on my 37" @ 1920x1080.

I'm running FO3 at 5040 x 1050 with everything maxed out, I don't get any slowdown aside from VATS messing up on me for no reason, but it's apparently a common issue ever since they patched the game, so that has nothing to do with playing it surround or not.
