Hi guys. Just got my self a samsung syncmaster p2450 came this morning. And just plugged it in very nice.

I also left pluggged in my old acer 22inch monitor. Now there both connected now via dvi and just wondering why i cant get world of warcraft to appear in both of them.

22inch one is only capable of 1600 rez whilst this samsung is 1900 rez capable.

I am missing somthing or is it not possiable ?

At the moment there both on and has been extended no issues there.

You will need to use Nvidia's 3D vision surround which requires two or more graphics cards in SLI configuration.

You can only do this with 1 graphics cards using a Radeon 5xxx / 6xxx series (both monitors must use the same res)

Edit: Also why would you want to do it as you would have a big band of bezel down the middle when trying to play.

You can always play in windowed mode and stretch it across 2 monitors

Yet again my 2nd thread were i am slow and posting back lol. And yeah came to the conclusion it was just dumb idea. 3 monitors would work but having my character down the center was just off putting.

Probley over time get a 3rd monitor lol. Thanks for the replies any way.
