I just got 3 samsung 21.6" 2243swx and im really thinking about buying the th2go digital, can anyone confirm that it will work with these monitors as there native resolution is 1920x1080. I have tried single monitor at
5040x1050 @ 57hz but can't try 3. And would it look alright with that resolution of 1680x1050 on each monitor and would my 8800gtx in sli be sufficient enough to push this, i dont really play that many games, maybe a few older ones but nothing like crysis, thanks for all you help.

Hi,
Firstly, your sig is too large, please can you change it to match these rules....
Please keep the text (colored text is fine) between sizes 9 and 11 (using BB Code). Run your specs horizontally (rather than vertically), and limit to four lines at normal forum width.


About the monitor, this thread has a list of all known working monitors, which includes a slight variation of that monitor with the additional information " Samsung 2243BWX - (OSD Message initially. Press menu to clear) "

So it should be fine.

Can anyone tell me if i will be able to run seperate windows still like how i have my desktop extended onto each monitor with the th2go but i dont see how if one 1 cable is hooked up to the gpus unless the matrox software does it? Also will i be able to still fold on seperate cards and disable sli as i do now? Fixed my sig, is that better?

1920x1080 is 16:9. 5040x1050 is 3x 16:10, so each individual monitor will display a slightly stretched 16:10 picture. To avoid that you could use 3x 16:9 resolutions, although the max resolution in that aspect ratio is only 3x 1366x768. Yes, 16:9 is not ideal for TripleHead...

Using TH2G you can open as many windows as you want, just like a regular desktop. You can even open one fullscreen window on each monitor, or span a single window across the whole display, or make the active window 'jump' to the next monitor using a hotkey, and so on.
You can of course enable/disable SLI at will and use additional displays.

By the way may I ask what you need SLI for, if you're not a gamer :?:
