O.o

Alright I see that now, but I am correct in understanding that the TH2GO does switch? From 1280x1024 for desktop to 3840x1024 for gaming.

Or is it like the side monitors? Always on (3840x1024) but just with the sides cut off.

/me is so lost.

Not sure I understand it myself.

As I take it you give windows the impression that you have 3 monitors, 2 1280x1024 sides and 1 3840x1024 center (the th2g).

Now in normal desktop the th2g feeds the center 1280x1024 and sides 1st inputs 1280x1024, which you dont use since youre on the 2nd inputs from the normal vid. card outputs.

In 3d the th2g still feeds all 3 screens and you switch the sides to that so it's in TH mode, unless you need to check something, in which case switching is like magically making a 4 and 5th side-side monitors appear.

please correct me if I didn't get it right.

This is correct.

This is incorrect. Keeping the TripleHead2Go in a tripelhead resolution on the desktop would defeat the purpose of this configuration, wince you wouldn't be able to snap windows to full-screen resolutions and have everything visible.

Alright, sounds awesome. I look forward to using this method when I get my triplehead setup. :D

Sorry for being such a noob. :lol:

That's ok, the most important thing is that you understand how to do it so you can use it yourself.

Just to confirm, this is basically the way it works right?
