TF2 will not work in nVidia Surround

Post by hourhouheki »

Hey guys, my first post here and I'm having a lot of trouble right now.

I have 3x24" monitors set up over 2x570 GTX video cards. They are set up in SLi, and then to Surround in the nVidia Control Panel to a resolution of 5760x1200.

When I launch Team Fortress 2, I receive no option to run the game at any resolution higher than 1920x1200. It will not display any higher resolutions and the game appears in the middle monitor only.

I attached a screenshot of the game in Windowed mode, as well as in Full-Screen Mode below.

Full-Screen mode (did not capture the screen to the left and right, only captured center screen)

Windowed mode (captured all 5760x1200, left and right of game are my wallpaper)

Also, I don't really enjoy the idea of running the game in nVidia surround mode. Ideally, each monitor would be separate, showing 3x 1920x1200 resolution (total 5760x1200), instead of 1x 5760x1200 (faking into one monitor in nVidia surround). I don't really care about the bezel correction and I hate having to switch my display mode back to non-surround so I can maximize a Windows window and it doesn't turn into a 5760x1200 browsing window.

Can anyone help me out? I've searched high and low on the internet and I can't see to find anyone else with this issue or any fixes.

Thanks!

:welcome

Run in surround mode > load game > goto options > video > select 16:9 aspect ratio > select 5760x1200 resolution.
Job done.
