Hi, sorry to go on but i had 1 samsung T260HD lcds and had another samsung 26" lcd. However today i have come across 2 T260HD lcds for £200 each and have bought them. I want to know the best way to acheive the best graphics and how can i utilise all 3 screens for gaming on? What res would i get on each monitor? And last thing i have posted previous would it be worth getting or would i have to get a third decent card for this? Thanks a lot guys.

Matrox triple head2go seems to be the best way for gaming.

And will this work with my setup? What resolutions would i get? cheers.

Yes TripleHead2go would be best if you wanted to game. Maximum supported resolution is 5040x1050 (3x 1680x1050). Didnt you say you had a 295GTX as well in a previous post? If that is still the case, as I said before, get rid of those 8800GTX's and fit your 295GTX. You only need 1 card to run TH2Go.

Typhoon i am thinking of getting a 295 watercooled when they are released mate if it would be much of a difference to my 8800gtx s would it? bearing in mind they are the overcocked and watercooled version aswell. would it also work if i had 3 cards and had them comnnected to each monitor individually or not? And lastly Typhoon sorry to be a pain do you know of any updates by Matrox to updaye to 1920x1200 x3 cheers.
