Thankyou for the modified driver for 76Hz......works great :D

Still unsure though if this can damage the monitor in any way though, most say it can't and back that up with some seemingly knowledgeable explanations while other say it will hurt the monitor....... :?:


Well the Dell specifications rate the monitor at 1680 x 1050 75Hz publicly. I havn't read anything about anyone damaging their monitor in this way and I did read through a lot of threads regarding this.

If your unsure its better to run at stock 60Hz settings for peace of mind.

Thanks for the modified driver for the 2209WA, works for me on a 5970 with 3 of them, 1 through an active Sapphire adapter.

Cheers

I thought the controllers in most LCD displays step the refresh rate back down to 60Hz even if it's higher?

if you don't mind VGA, you could try that. It'll work b/c it is an active adapter. It's horribly cheaper, but you have to deal with an analog signal.

Sideefect you'll be happy to know that the newly released mount & blade:warband fully supports landscape modes. It actually says "multiple monitor mode enabled" when starting up. All HUD and menu items are centred :)

nice :D

i have now moved to portrait for a while. only a handfull of games are improved with landscape and even then im only really enjoying the first extra 1/4 of each side screen.

in portrait it is literally like a window into the game world. in landscape the lack of physicaly verticle fov will mean it always feels like a computer screen setup.


have you got any 3x portrait images for desktop backgrounds yet?

also i have surround view too with potencial on my 890gx for adding a 4th 1080p monitor.. which i have but its now on my other pc :)

I am also using 3x 2209wa monitor. 1 monitor is connected to the DP by using the HP dp to VGA adapter and it is working fine without any problem whatsoever.

Thanks for sharing the info with us! Awesome pictures.
After your experience, which do you prefer, the wider view, or the monitors in portait mode? (For gaming etc).

Hi here is the driver but it won't make the displayport adapter work if it isn't already. All it does is change the refresh rate from the default 60Hz to a higher 76Hz for all the monitors.

If your having problems with the displayport you need to make sure your using a compatible active adapter and not a cheaper passive adapter.
