Widescreen Gaming Forum

So I've got my 5870 and triple monitor setup complete with active DP adapter and Team Fortress 2 @ 5040x1050 is freakin' sweet.

I loaded up Assassin's Creed after seeing widescreen TH2G screenshots and to my displeasure it only renders about 10% of the left and right screens (this is a known issue apparently). I've got Section 8 and Borderlands as well but they both also suffer from weird FOV issues and don't play properly...

So, is there a list of games anywhere that I can refer to? So far anything using the Source engine is game-on, and from what I understand the UT3 engine should be good to go too (Arkham Asylum, etc.).

Borderlands works it just needs configuring.

Ah thank you, I'd been checking but thought it was still an on-going problem with the FOV.

So there's
-TF2, L4D, HL2 (CM!)
-Borderlands
-Batman: AA
-...more?

for a list of "eyefinity" games
check out the WSGF list of games around here : http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/Essential_Games_List (also available on the menu on the left)

anygame which supports TH also supports eyefinity since the only thing that it needs are :
-correct resolution (eg 5040x1050 in your case)
-correct FOV
-correct HUD

*cough* I think you mean surround-screen supported games, not "eyefinity supported" games. :roll:

I can tell you the games that I have tested and work.

Works without needing to make changes

Call of Juarez bound in blood
Crysis
Far cry2
Need for speed Shift
Hawx
Grand Theft Auto 4
Empire Total War
World of warcraft
Left 4 dead
Supreme Commander Forged alliance

Works by making text file changes or using FOV hacks.

Borderlands
Call of Duty World at War
Mirrors edge
Fuel

It's still very new so I didn't assume that every game that works with TH2G would also work with Eyefinity, mainly because I loaded up Assassin's Creed last night and couldn't get it to display 5040x1050 properly even though the game recognized the resolution and I've seen pics elsewhere.

But yes, I'll check out the "Widescreen Lists" section that I somehow overlooked earlier!

Nice to see new people.. any game that supports surround resolution will work with EF or TH2Go, or whatever else.. the game doesn't need special hardware support just needs to output to a bigger resolution than normal.

No, no, I think he mean "Eyefinity Supported" games!

Seeking to make a distinction at WSGF is counter-productive imho. Sure, you have to state the AMD party line, but fracturing the list sub-divided into EyeFinity specifics is splitting hairs. The only reason why you'd want to deviate from the general WSGF surround-gaming list is if EyeFinity worked in a different manner within the game than other solutions. One would think you'd want to stack EyeFinity up against TH2G and SoftTH instead of pretending it's not going to work within the same limitations. What I'm getting at, is if it works ok in SoftTH and TH2G 99.999% of the time it'll work in EyeFinity. It's a waste of time to make the distinction (other than for AMD marketing purposes which is part of your job :twisted:).

So, when can I buy that EyeFinity6 to put into my surround-projector setup? :wink:

but if a game supports Eyefinity it will also support any other equivalent surround-screen method :P

that's only partially true, SoftTH can only be used with D3D (DX) games.

Hence my stating that it would only make sense to differentiate when it deviates from what is standard surround-screen. Of all 3 solutions SoftTH is the most limiting even though it does PLP and other goodies. ;)

Hi all,
Anyone have luck getting Assassin's Creed to work on all three monitors (Eyefinity) yet?
I'm puzzled, the correct resolution is listed under options (5760X1080) but only the center screen has gameplay.

This game is listed in AMD's official Eyefinity summary.

Any help will be appreciated.

TIA

Edit: I may have found the answer why. AC only supports 16:9 ratios. :?

also of note both the wiki & the 2nd page of the detailed widescreen report (accessible from the master widescreen game list on the right)
linked to this very tool!

might be helpful next time you search for a TH support for a game

EDIT: Duplicated for the correct thread.

OK, i'm running 3310x1680 (portrait mode) on 3xDell 2210 with a 5850.

So far the only games i've managed to get going are OpFlash 2 Demo and Dirt 2 demo. Tried OpFlash 2 retail, 2142, BF2 and MW2 all which crash on install.

Anyone else having problems installing/playing games in portrait mode ?

Is this something to do with games only supporting 16:10 / 16:9 ? So portrait modes just cause CTDs ?

I also found it pays to set the fan speed to 45% when running SETI as a screensaver or the GPU overheats and either BSODs or just locks up.
