Hello all,

I have 3 monitors and i have two Nvidia 8800GT gfx cards.

Is there a way where i can have all 3 monitors act as one so i can play games widescreen across all of them?

I have looked through my Nvidia Control Panel and i cannot find a way to span the desktop? Is there something i am missing? Do you absolutely need the Triplehead product?

Thanks in advance,
Tyler

I think i have found the problem. For some reason Vista does not let you span.

You need SoftTH, it will do what you need (for certain games)...
It's a Software solution to the triple-head solution...

Search around there are many topics on this....

Start here: http://www.kegetys.net/SoftTH/

Here's a quick picture of my setup, running SofTH and Fallout3

I have 2 8800 GTX cards + Vista 64, 2 22" 1200x1600 (sideways) and one 30" 2560 x 1600.

This picture does not do it justice, as the game looks Really good, Extra wide...
