The Division Beta Multi-Monitor Support

Post by Bifurk8 »

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that the beta for Tom Clancy's The Division properly supports multiple monitors out of the box! Everything looks good so far: menus, HUD, and game play. There are a lot of options for scaling the HUD, but I didn't have to mess with any yet and it still looks good as is.

Just had time to dip in and check it before work, but will add screenshots later if nobody else beats me to it. Looks like Armin1702 has already got it covered for 21:9 though.

Just played for a bit. Sadly this game has a pretty narrow fov and I have not found any slider yet.

Tried it briefly this morning in 5x1. Looked good as far as hud elements. FOV is a problem. A huge problem is performance in sli. Sli scaling is pretty much non existent. That will make it a very tough game to run in surround.

Yeah, a single Radeon 7950 struggles to keep above 30 fps with everything medium/low even with the resolution dropped to 3840x720. Of course, the Radeon 7950 is getting pretty long in the tooth. Your mileage may vary if you've got something more modern.

Jep Jep jep, show us some Triplewide screenshots :D

I'd love to play, but sadly i don't have beta Acccess. I don't like paying before a game releases, or more like i absolutly don't want to pay for the division. So much could go wrong in this game... i don't trust Ubisoft.
We gonna send it to outa space!

Here's that sweet, sweet screenshot candy at 5760x1080 using the game's Ultra video quality preset. It's totally unplayable for me at these settings on an old Radeon 7950, but it looks pretty. To actually get it playable I had to drop to 3840x720 with mostly low and medium settings and a lot of the visual effects disabled.

At least we can turn off chromatic aberration.

Is it possible to setup with 2 monitors but have the main game to play in one monitor and have only some HUD stuff on the second one? This would be awesome but I'm guessing no!

The devs actually said that you can do this! I'm sure you can look it up, but when they discussed it, they will have a lot of multi-monitor options.

I'd like to get a DR done on this. Is there a chance we can get a set of matching screenshots?

It's on my list, I'll need a couple days though. If you could create the DR for me to upload pics to that'd be great. If someone has a partial comparison ready, shoot and I'll fill in the blanks.
