8640x900 (?)



:hide

What displays are those? Take it they are two 1440x900 panels butted together within a single frame? Then three of them side by side with a 6 card?

That should be (correct me if i'm wrong) three Nec curved monitors (2880x900)

btw. Alienware has an equivalent product (also 2880x900)

Here's the topic on the Curved Monitors. http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17495&hilit=curved
There's a Link to a video of using 3 in triplehead.

I've sent a note off to ATI asking how the Ostendo folks got three curved displays working in Eyefinity.

Thinking again, those monitors must be two panels together but a single input going through their equivalent of a Dual Head 2 Go to do the split.

ladies and gentlemans

another achievement is done
I run 5 monitors setup in 32 bit inXP @ 8400x1050
of course without triplehead2go and other stuff like that (just bare pc hardware)
only 3 gpus
1x5770 + 2x9500GS :D
2+1+2 configuration

sadly it's not playable, reason - only 5770 gpu and another thing is on i7 and dirt2 sucks with multiple monitors so cant tested in game
(in next 3 weeks i should receive 5870 and amd mobo with 3 x pci-e so :D

I am sure I can run 6 monitors without any problem too, 3x2 or 6x1 also with 2x ati 5xxx gpus instead NV I can run 9 monitors 9:1 15120x1050 ultimate panorama as well
but this will be story for next thread :?

edit//
PICS
config


and rest

oh wow lol

so i have a 5970..

duniek - i have a few questions, does softh take some code/tweaking/installing to do? or is it just plug and play?
also, using geforce/radeon as a 2nd card for 4th and 5th monitors, does it use the gpu? or would it utilize the gpus on 5970 and output using 2nd auxilary card (radeon/geforce)?

im thinkin either another 5850 if it uses gpu or an old geforce card if its only used as auxilary output card..

multi-monitors ftw.

tweaking @ 5lcds in the same as tweaking @ 3 monitors when you using softTH
so in dirt2/fallout3/ - i only played in that two you need only change resolution in games files (in config file) and of course add 8400x1050 res in softTH file (in these 2 games it 1minute of work)
for example with mirrors edge no problem too but need FOV hack,

If you dont want play with drivers and dont want lost your mind with config I recomend use both ATI cards (5970 + even 4350 low end gpu or even hd1300) with two monitor outputs
in windows 7 when I used ati + nv I have a lot of problems with configuration

that was w7 config, if still have XP you need 3 gpus ;) (bcoz XP has limit max 2 monitors from each gpu)

For Dirt 2 you should probably turn AA completely off (2xAA just isn't worth it...). Sampling at almost 9 megapixels has got to be incredibly stressful on the card.

8400x1050 again done in windows 7 BUT
now :D

on ITX system
c2d e8600 + 9300ITX+ hd5770

3 main screens is on 5770 as 1
and two sides on 930 IGP on board (hdmi + dsub) (two digitals doesnt work in the same time)

problems with this setting is NVIDIA IGP and ATI card so I have troubles in CCC panel bcoz when I activate side panels eyefinity group was switching to duplicate mode and CCC panel was closing bcoz gpu (nv9300 igp) isnt supported obviously ;)

anyway after some mintes of fighting - its WORK :D

Hey, I've been trying to do something similar to you. Trying to get my 5 monitors to work in SoftTH. I'm using a TH2go and 2 other monitors.

I'm having issue setting up SoftTH, the games will crash even if I get it to set the resolution (at this point i don't even care what the resolution is along as i can get it working in full screen and all of them on.)

@ duniek - Very interesting setup chap, I wonder, do you happen to have a screenshot of L4D / L4D2 / TF2 at these extreme wide resolutions?

I would like to use the ultra wide screenshots for my FOV/HUD editor calc, as the largest resolution it currently supports visually correct is 5760x1080 after this, the calc starts cropping the top and bottom of the image when using any wider resolution, however this can be resolved by simply using a wider resolution image.

Please let me know if you can help, many thanks :)
