Now that is just getting excessive and probably way to hard to concentrate on :roll: I would be interested to know about performance in new games and how well it works (only some games or all surround capable games) |

Now that is just getting excessive and probably way to hard to concentrate on :roll: The whole reason why this sub-forum exists is to have fun showing surround-gaming solutions. Any surround-gaming setup can be easily labeled "excessive". I've never seen anyone else try TH2G+SoftTH in a 5 monitor configuration, so it merits posting because others might want to know it can be done. I could especially see this as attractive to flight and racing simulator fans. :D I'm mostly surprised it surpassed the 4096 width limitations, but I learned from the author of SoftTH that limitation is because of video card texture limits. The 8XXX series Geforce cards can do a theoretical 8192 width according to DirectX Caps Viewer. :shock: |

EDIT - Oh, I see, it is an extra two to the side! Doh! Now that is interesting. Maybe in the future for me. :P |

I'm gonna try demos of some of the other games mentioned in this forum to get more reliable comparision. I'll see what it does in 3-screen and 5-screen modes and then post some screenshots and fps tables I think. One thing I will say is the spare room I'm running this setup in is HOT. 5 21" Dell CRTs push some heat. This is definitely a fall-winter-spring only setup with the window open to offset the temps in the room. I'm a MMO gamer 90% of the time...hence what I usually post screenshots of. :wink: ![]() |

Thought I'd post my PowerDesk-SE settings from another thread here since it made sense to consolidate all the data into this thread... Matrox PowerDesk-SE works like a champ with this hybrid setup. |

The [config] section of my SoftTHb106 cfg file settings: [config] One card runs the TH2G, other runs the 2 outer monitors. |
