He-he ... I do now ... :D

Here is a mock up of GRID ...
I couldn't get the shot with the game running ... the screens came out too dark or too bleached out.

Hi guys ...
Some TripleWide Screenshots here ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/#comment-

My gaming comp ...

How did you get it working? I followed the instructions exactly and no new 16:10 resolutions are showing up :( Did you encounter any difficulties?

Everything went smooth ...
No BIG problems ...
One minor one is that I can't get single screen 1920x1200 to show up in the Display Properties even though I have it as one of my four that we are allowed in the Edit List Mode.

Very odd it hasn't worked for you ...
I see you have a thread ... lets continue this discussion of your issue there ... 8)

May I ask:
(1) Perhaps too early to ask this, but what sort of framerate hit you get when moving from 3 x 1280 x 1024 to 3 x 1680 x 1050 (using your 8800GTXs SLI) ?
(2) When you use single screen mode, does yours come up in the middle screen now? Actually I like to know if this new firmware update includes this 'single screen at center' fix.

I only took note the framerates for GRID ...
I had everything on Ultra High using the Ultra High mod ... running 3840x1024 with 4xmsaa
At 5040x1050 I had to drop back to just the default High setting the game came with and drop to 2xmsaa.
I still lost about 5-10fps ...
I could afford it though as I still get over 40fps.
(I am using a renamed GRID.exe ... dirt.exe such that it uses the dirt profile in the nVidia settings thus enabling SLi as there isn't an SLi profile for GRID.
This vastly improved my framerate)

Single screen mode can be set to any of your screens using a new feature ... "Swap Displays"
You can also switch between various TH and SH resolutions using a hot key of your choosing.

Great news indeed! :)

FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!

Quick question: does the 57 Hz frequency of the 3 x 1680 x 1050 resolution have any bad effect on LCD monitors? I've never seen 57 Hz as an option in my Display Properties.

Thanks much in advance.

Every 20th frame will will actually be the previous frame (example is a 15z display with an input of 12Hz)
123441234412344 is what a second will look like, you wont notice, the people best able to detect refresh rates will not be able to visually detect any change over 40Hz/FPS.

How is this exactly possible? The max pixels of current GPUs is only 2560 x 1600 = 4096000 but 3 x 1680 x 1050 = 5292000. This exceeds the limit.

I think the screen resolution is limited by the GPU and not the Triplehead2go.
