No it don't use hardly any resources all you are doing is running the battlelog web page on a separate PC or monitor. I guess you could do a 3x1 with 1 over the top Eyefinity setup. I'm just not sure if crossfire still works in that arrangement. I will test it once I get my new TV and wall mount bracket. But I am hopping to be able to run commander mode on that screen while gaming on my 3x1.


SUCH a cool feature, how did I miss this :S thought it was only for ipads and other shit. Will try attaching another monitor now :D

Let me know how it works out for you. Also I created a thread in the group up / play together section for BF3/BF4 for those looking to group up.

Good stuff! Except I hooked up the monitor to the onboard cpgpu which caused cpu load to go bananas and fps drop. Will buy a hdmi->dvi cable instead of an adapter so it'll fit the gpu tomorrow instead!

When you join a game alt+tab out you will see the battlescreen option at the bottom. You can be logged into battle log on another pc as well out just can't launch origin on it or it will boot out of the game and say account in use elsewhere. If using the battlescreen on another pc just open battlelog in a web browser and make sure the plug in is installed.


Cool, I must really try this out this weekend, gonna setup a 4th monitor and try it out. If its not working with Sli I'm gonna use a laptop connected to the 4th monitor. Prolly need some ducktape, hammer and nails as well to make the damn monitor sit on-top of the other 3 :D :wtf:

Great idea. Will try that as well :onethumb:

Btw, why isn't your hud elements centered, is it on purpose or doesn't it work in Eyefinity?
Mine is centered to the middle screen, using Surround.

Well I Stayed up late into the early AM mounting the new 40 inch Samsung 3D TV. I still need to adjust the TV some and bring it down closer to my screens. Eyefinity and crossfire are working fine though with a extended display over my 3x1.

My neighbors are prob sick of me as well. I'm sure they loved me drilling into the concrete at 11 PM :evil:

Any of you using 3x1+1 extended notice that the HUD is moved to the outer screens? I disable the extended screen and reboot relaunch game and the HUD is back on the center screen. I tested BF3,BF4 and Mass Effect 3. Mass Effect 3 FOV was incorrect when running 3x1+1. I think there is a issue with AMD drivers and how they detect your resolution when running 3x1+1.

Ok,

After 10m of black duct tape and some BRIO Rail toys stolen from my 6y old son (he actuality came up with the idéa to use some of them :D ) i finally got the 4th screen set up and running from a laptop. 4th screen not supported from GTX 500 series and down in 3-way Sli unless i use a 4th gpu, but that's not gonna fit on my mobo anyway, also i dont wanna ALT-TAB and stuff. This was awesome!

:rockout:
