7970 Eyefinity Multi-tasking

coughs · 24 Feb 2012 at 12:24

Hello,

I was wondering if its possible to use 3x 27" monitors (1920x1080 each) and play bf3 smoothly on 1 monitor and on the 2nd monitor have Wow loaded to play if needed on a 7970 all at the same time

It's possible. But both games will need to be played on Windowed mode, and BF3 will need to be turned down as it loves GPU power.

I would imagine playing BF3 + WoW at the same time would require amazing multitasking skills...

Well I was thinking of buying something that levels WoW for me whilst I play bf3.

You will get banned from WOW pretty quickly doing that as others will report you.

Don't have eyefinity mode enabled. Just use Extended. You can then have each full screen

Window mode won't allow you to use crossfire if you have it!

Not if I reply to what people say hence viewing on 2nd monitor. I use a addon which notifies me by playing a sound if I get a message on WoW.

This is what I meant instead of Eyeinfinity but wasn't sure what it was called. I want 1 monitor full screen playing a game whilst having wow on window mode on a different screen with facebook/irc on

It's still against the rules since you're not the one levelling the character itslef.

Some fullscreen game locks the mouse to the game itself, and some even minimizes when you go to another screen. Hence why I suggested the Window mode.

I would be putting wow on the lowest settings/resolution whilst playing a game. something like this -

in the video he is only running Intel Core i7-920, 12GB RAM and an small 64 GByte SSD, including an ASRock Mainboard and an ATI 5770 GPU.

We've already answered your question :confused:

Both games will run fine on the 7970.

How about paying an Indian boy to play WOW for you while you play BF3 and vice versa? Alternately just have an ice cold can of wise up and do one or the other. Jus sayin

I do this quite regularly and to rankup my COD but the only difference is he is Chinese. I really want to cut my expenses and do it myself (kind-of)

I do that on another MMORPG, and the program itself sets the mmorpg as low priority so I can minimise it and have another game runnning or whatever very easily.

Check if the program does that you're looking at?

coughs · 26 Feb 2012 at 13:07

Yeah we can minimize the wow window because the bot I wanted to buy injects into the process directly but I don't see why I would need to when the whole point of this thread is to see wow whilst playing bf3. (3 monitors in extended mode)

I am amazed. Why bother gaming at all? In fact, hook yourself up to a life support machine and just veg in bed all day. Breathing yourself is such a chore

lol I understand what you're saying BUT I do still love gaming its just levelling/ranking up can be sooo tedious. WoW actually starts at level 85 with 650k gold.

lol @ this guy.

"i game but i don't play them, i let some chinese kid do it for me"

DERP DERP DERP DERP.

/on topic, yes a 7970 will do that...

alieshia · 26 Feb 2012 at 14:26

you can still get caught out with a notification addon. someone i know botted their fishing and said oh it'll be ok i have this addon that lets me know if GMs message me etc less than a week later their account was banned. on his server he was top 3 geared and in raiding guild ranked 2nd on the server. he lost the lot due to being a bit pigheaded thinking he'd get away with it and lazy to not earn his own gold.

Can't believe your trying to justify botting/leveling services....

Just do it yourself or don't play at all

And I don't think advice should be given for this type of behavior.
