Hello folks I am planning on ordering a TH2GO digital today. I have a 19" (not widescreen) Samsung monitor which has a DVI connection and 2 Dell monitors which are slightly older and only have VGA. Will I be able to use TH2GO with this setup using VGA to DVI adapters? Really looking forward to trying this with my racing sims :D |

Sorry guys, just found this in the specs on the Matrox site "2 or 3 DVI-I outputs (connects to digital or analog)" Am I right to assume that I can output to VGA using the adapters? |

Hi! Just be aware that you need to run the same resolution on all 3 screens. |

No Worries there - I generally use 1280X1024 on my main monitor and both the dells support that. I just want to be 100% sure that the TH2GO will work using DVI-VGA for the dells. |

it will work fine. I did that before when I first got the Th2g. only beef is that analog won't work at 5040x1050 but that have more to do with the specific monitor. everything should work fine |

Thanks for that Yui - I have ordered mine now and it should be here tomorrow. My setup is fairly modest compared to alot here so I am expecting to have to lower a few settings. I have an Athlon64 4200+ X2, 2gb Ram and a 7900GT Graphics card. I am planning to upgrade fairly soon however. Since I will mostly be playing Racing sims the trade off of image quality versus Surround Gaming should be worth it. I'm just hoping the FPS hit is not too high in the meantime. |

The main one is iRacing. I race in real life and this is about the closest you can get to the same feeling! I also play Richard Burns Rally and Grand Prix Legends. Live For Speed was my main sim until iRacing - I will revisit that when the next version is released. EDIT : TH2GO just arrived - unfortunately I am in the office and have to goto see a client tonight - Will hopefully have a chance to set it up this evening :D |
