Widescreen Gaming Forum

hi there im not far from buying a digital tripple head to go
and 3x monitors.
my system is core duo 4.2ghz
4gig memory
windows 64.
ati 4870 x2 cards crossfire.
what monitors will my system play games on in size.
would u go for 19 inch wide or 19 inch 4.3.
thx in responce as i dont have a clue. @ the mo im using a dell 3007 30 inch lcd.

I would go for 22" wide, at 1680x1050. Just know that your ATI cards will only go to 3x1440x900. The scaling isn't bad, so that shouldn't be a problem.

right i think im going to go for 3xSamsung SM-2032BW Pebble 20" Widescreen monitors. i hope its ok with my dual 4870 graphics.

If I remember correctly, 4320x900 (3x1440x900) doesn't work with crossfire. I may be wrong.

looks like i have read something about crossfire not working @ the above resolution.
can any1 confirm this before i buy my monitors today.
looks like i might have to get the 4.3 nec 19 inch. :(
