I downloaded all three things. First I installed the firmware. Then the matrox desktop 2.05. It looked good at this stage because it allowed my to do 1440x900 which I could never get to work with my 2 x 4870's crosssfired. I then loaded up the catalyst and can't even get that far. I cant even get my 3840x800 going again, it only allows me to go up to XXXXx768 whatever the x resolution is. Really annoying.. I have an option for the higher resolutions but they are all at 60hz. When I try to apply the 3x 1440x900 I get a windows error. The resolutions are only available in the matrox utility, I cant see them in catalyst. |

OK, Success! You do need to install the catalyst before the powerdesk otherwise the catalyst seems to forget the options. I have now got it at 5040x1050. I am using 3x LG 24" monitors, I must say that the higher resolution is a lot softer then 3x 1440x900. Given the x900 res looks clearer then the x1050 resolution I might live with that. Will need to try it in some games.. Unfortunately in IL2, may fav game I only get about 10-15 FPS at 5040x1050. At 4320x900 I get 45-60. I might just end up staying at 3840x800 after all. Hmm, a few hours later I noticed that since I made the changes my overclock had left me and I was running at 2ghz instead of 3.4, in fact I was running underclocked! I fixed that and now my computer refuses to give me the bios screen anymore.. Argh, no its unplugged for 1/2 hour to see what happens when I turn it on. Not that I am saying this is related but I wish I had never mucked around to begin with.. Strange that the install coincided with changes to my clock cycles.. |

Be interested to give this a try again. I tried TH2G a while ago but didnt like it that much due to really stretched image in FPS on the side screens. now i'm getting into racing games i might be tempted to purchase a TH2G and a pair of 4890s :D (Still have the 3x2009w from before!). |

Hey (/me new user .. w000hooo :S) There have been a lot of talk about ATI not capable of running in 5040x1050. 3 weeks ago i resceived the TH2GO box from matrox, hooked it up to my 3 screens, on a 4870x2 gfx card. BAM .. 5040x1050 on catalyst 9.6. Just for the info, /Leech |

New user here and another success with a 4870X2. I had been eyeing Matrox's DTH2Go and TrackIR for a couple years now. But no hires for ATI. When I saw Mark B's announcement, well, TrackIR and DTH2GO arrived a couple days ago, with 2 new monitors arriving today to match the one I had. Plugged the thing in, ran the configurator thingy, and by Matrox it worked!! 5040 X 1050 on Ati 4870X2!! Ever seen a grown man do a happy dance while giggling like a little girl? So far I have played: UT3 (needs some kind of fix, too zoomed in) Half-Life 2 Episode 1 (worked perfect!!) IL2 Sturmovic (works, but too zoomed in too) So I have some work to figure these out and some other games I have that I will be replaying soon. My specs are: Intel D5400XS 2X Xeon 5450 @ 3.6 Ati 4870X2 3X Gateway FHD2400 (tested my one and it ran @ 59hz, so I got 2 more) TrackIR5 Anyway, this is just a heads-up for ATI owners and 59hz monitor owners that mine is working. Off to play some more and figure out Field of View fixes... Mark |
