Hello everyone :)
Recently took the plunge into Eyefinity (5970) with 3 x 30" monitors (each at 2560 x 1600). Some quirkiness with the setup but Windows 7 seems to be running ok now at a large desktop (would prefer to use profiles to swap back to normal extended desktop when not gaming, but the profile switch seems to be a little ropey).
On the good;
WS gaming is great :) L4D2 runs brilliantly at 7680 x 1600.
I've not really got stuck into hacking some of the games to work yet because of a couple of issues. The main one is World of Warcraft occasionally bombs out with a 'not enough storage to process that command' error. According to the forums that's normally down to an error with mods, but even without it occurs occasionally.
I reduced the occurence a lot by reducing the graphic detail a little (mainly the ground clutter and grass settings. I found another post saying that this could cause the errors at high resolutions). It does bomb out occasionally now, normally during transitions (occasionally) or when I do a screenshot (more often). I also saw that for the 5970 the video memory is a limitation for super-high reses.
GRID as well was like a slide-show when I started it. If I reduce the res down to a 3600 x 1024 it runs ok but looks poor :). Demigod and DoW 2 were also slide-show speed.
I only have the options for 2400 x 600, 3600 x 1024 or native. I saw that you can change the resolutions presented to the OS by a monitor, but it looks a bit fiddly and I wanted some confirmation before proceeding.
The question I have is (thanks to all those who've made it this far :D);
Am I being too optimistic with my res for most games? Should I downgrade (using the forum post to force a different middle res) to 5760 x 1200 (for example) before I get into using it in a big way? Like I said L4D2 runs ok (and WoW as well, mostly) but I know both those engines are quite old.
Thank you very much for the help! Am looking forward to kicking the wheels on this in a big way :D
