Alright lads? :D
I'm sure i've seen this in a thread but can i hell find it....can i have my TH2G in 1 DVI on my card & another DVI cable hooked up to my centre monitor in the second port on my card...so when a game dosn't support the TH2G i can disable it and go DVI?

Yes you can but why bother? You can play all your games through TH2G on a single screen. I do it all the time.

because DVI is a damn site better...IMO...so...how do i disable it?...you said you knew :?

When you're using both DVI's you will have 2 monitors in your display properties. Just disable one of them or change which one of the 2 is primary before you play the game.

My monitors support 1680X1050, but with the TH2Go connected that isn't an option. Can I somehow force it to be an option?

which video card are you using. There is a way to force resolutions on nvidia cards.

I'm using 7800GS AGP.

(Of course I'm using nvidia with TH2Go...)

The Triplehead2Go imakes Windows think your maximum single-screen resolution is 1280x1024, because that is 1/3rd of the max resolution of the device. If you add a custom resolution of 1680x1050, that will probably work.

Exactly.... :)

How to add a custom resolution is, in a sense, what I've been asking all along.

Ahem.

How do I add a custom resolution?

EDIT:

PowerStrip lets me add in custom resolutions, but when I try to switch to 1680x1050 nothing happens.

Display Properties->Advanced

Screen Resolutions & Refresh Rates

Under Custom resolutions and refresh rates click Add

Note: You may want to switch nvidia panel to classic mode to use these intructions.

OK, I added the new resolution.

When I attempt to switch to it however, it does not work. The imagespans partly across all three monitors and looks awful.

I assume that I cannot achieve 1680x1050 through the TH2Go.

If anyone ever gets it to work, let us know. But I doubt it. When the TH2Go gets the 1680x1050 signal it must attempt to turn it into 3840x1024.

I can not test it on my pc as my monitors dont support anything higher then 1280x1024

Does your card have 2 DVI outputs?

No, but I believe I have an adapter so I can connect the TH2Go to the analog output, and then connect the center monitor to the DVI output.

What I'd like is a way to quickly switch between three monitor and single monitor setup while playing a game. For instance, conversations in Jade Empire look terrible stretched out across three screens and some of the options aren't even clickable. Alt-Tabing to desktop and then switching monitor setup is a possibility here, but rather clunky.

Create a Hotkey with nView that changes the activated display to switch to your other GF7 graphics output!
