make sure your graphics cards have 2 crossfire bridges attached
Come on guys help me out. This trick *might* stop me buying the amazing looking 34 inch screens that are coming out soon
To re-cap, I'm using the gear in my sig, basically for this it's Nvidia GTX 670 x 2 in SLI, the Dell 29 super wide, and an old dell 24 inch. Both are connected to the top 670 card using the DVI cables they came with.

my bad thats a amd/ forward slash / lol graphics card requirement.
if your black screening after patching the driver then it could be a cable/driver version/ issue
are you using a dual DVI out on your graphics card with dual dvi input on your monitor....
make sure its dual and check your graphics cards dvi out and make sure its dual dvi and not single dvi.

this is not set in stone, and your mileage may vary...
its down to your eyes to and how far you sit from your monitor.
also you need to experiment with cleartype aswell as windows dpi settings to get good text readout, and remember text will always look slightly blurry but if you tweak it, it can look awesome. trust me on this. There are other things you can do aswell.... if you have for instance a 2nd monitor say 24" 1920x1200 or higher you could use that monitor as your reading base
for websurfing ect and youtube ect, and use the 29" for say gaming and movies also did you by any chance install the AOC driver for the monitor ? -------------------------------------------------
games look amazingly good aswell at 3440x1440

ingame shot been trying out DISHONORED no aa
even though it plays perfectly fine with aa 
steam downscaled the picture then uploaded and probably downscaled again on imageshack lol but you get the idea
amazing views....

Still can't get this to work properly. Seriously ****ing me off now.
EDIT - managed to get the basics working(!!) just using nvidia control panel settings and creating a custom resolution of 3440 x 1440, but I have to set the refresh rate to 56 or under for it to work.
At least I can get an idea of the principle now though, and see what that size desktop feels like. However, like skuko said - text and everything looks absolutely terrible.

Hi guys I have a LG 29 inch wide screen monitor, but my sapphire R9 290 Tri-x isn't detecting the res, how do I change it to 2560 by 1080? Please help whoevers got a 29 inch mon, I'm using the HDMI cable, thanks
Must be a dell thing then.
also other factors are involved, your using DVI i am using displayport 1.2
those cables alone have other functions to give better quality :
also dell are using a different firmware on the panel compared to the firmware on the AOC
there`s could be configured differently to the configuration on mine....

as i said everyones millage varies...... im enjoying it though and the space

Still curious about this. Whether it's skipping frames at 100Hz, because you can usually only comfortably push (without timing adjustments) to around 75Hz or so before frame skipping occurs.
just waiting on my brother bringing the camera around if he remembers this time lol...
been on some advanced monitor websites and ... effectively i dont think this monitor is going to get 120hz @ native.
i can get it to around 112hz with some timing reductions the reason why is because i think the monitor i have is dp 1.1a max. compatibility.... can someone check that for me .....
AOC Q2963PM 29" 2560x1080p 60hz LG Panel
as i have a dp 1.2 cable and dp 1.2 graphics card but the monitor will only show as being in 1.1a compatible mode.
it has another mode called dp 1.2 (daisy chain) mode but that mode refuses to work with a higher pixel clock
i can only max the pixel clock to around 327mhz and after that it refuses to set the resolution.....
hence in the end i think 100hz is pretty good i will post information on it later on or when the camera comes around.
to my eyes i cant see frame skipping and when playing games i cant see it even playing movies i cant see it and everything is smooth... so even in the end if there was what would be the point if the human eye cant detect it unless its got a really long slow shutter speed.
and being 100hz its a multiple of 23.976 so 24hz bluray playback will be judder free to.
still give your input as to why i am hitting this pixel limit i say pixel limit cause i cant get over that pixel clock due to 1.1a displayport compatibility but like i said input is welcome...

True enough I guess. I've tried experimenting with ClearType settings and text size DPI in Windows (tried 125% then custom ones of 110%, 113% and 115%) but text and everything just looks awful compared to native resolution.
I think I'm giving up on this experiment for now.

My LG 29 widescreen is finally up and running at 2560x1080, battlefield 4 looks amazing
I cant believe how much difference it makes over 16:9, i am missing 120hz but i have managed to get it to 75hz without the stupid input not supported message.
75hz is the max you will get without the input not support poping up
make add another resolution 72hz
for perfect judder free bluray playback

Its a shame i was trying to find a way to modify the monitors edid
