Is there any way how to solve Fish eye in ANY game?

Post by rodier »

Hi
last summer I borrowed 2 monitors and tried to toy with eyefinity.
I tried many games, but most of them have really big problems with 2 side monitors - classic - fish eye problem..

Is there any solution for that? I would like to buy 2 other monitors and use eyefinity in games, but not with that ugly parts that tear game content apart. And yes, its tearing my eyes too :-D

Or should I wait for some 4k UHD displays? I dont want invest more than 400$ in to it. Currently i am waiting for any over full HD resolution LCD that will be cheap, but not ugly.

Why is that hard to made it? CPus getting better every year... but LCDs? How long we will stay in Full HD?

I saw some screens on this forum and in master lists and it seems many people get at least partially fixed..

Thanks

if its in wrong section, sorry :)

Hi,

There is no "general" fix for that.
Some games handle it better, some worse. There are fixes for certain games.
Some games even support different PoV's = no stretch at all.

but your best chance to avoit that would be to get an 21:9 Monitor. "nearly" Eyefinity feeling but not that much stretch.

I used to try to fix this as well by decreasing the POV in most games, but it never really was broken to begin with. If you only focus on the center monitor and treat the side monitors as peripheral vision, the experience is really immersive and saves you from getting a headache.

FoV!
Field of View!
What I'm talking about is the PoV.
Point of View!
Some games, mostly flight simulations support multiple view ports aka Cockpit windows which you can show on the monitor you like.

Whoops! Yes, I meant FOV (field of view). The games that allow you to change this have a less noticeable "fish eye" effect when the FOV is lowered, but it tends to look more zoomed in, which is worse than fish eyed IMO.
