After chasing 2 more NEC 24WMGX3s on auction and getting the active displayport adaptor delivered yesterday I finally got the 3 monitor setup going on eyefinity.
First of all having the 3 monitors is great for the 2D work I do (software coding), but I keep them as standard extended desktops rather than grouping the 3 panels in CCC as I just cant work one one hooooge desktop!
When gaming I put the 3 monitors into one group in CCC.
Installed the 9.12 hotfix and got Dirt2 going, which is great in Eyefinity.
After not being able to get L4D2 or TF2 going across the 3 monitors for some time I finally sussed it by selecting the 16:9 aspect ratio rather than 16:10. Choosing 16:9 allowed me to choose a higher resolution than 1920x1200. This got both games running across the 3, although I need to somehow sort the crosshairs out.
Quickly tried Empire Total War and Sins of Solar Empire and they look great, although it's a big desktop map to manage!
BC2 Beta wouldnt have it but that's OK, its a beta.
But I just cant' get Grid going. After upping the resolution the first time, the game restarted, but just stutters, flicking the screens on and office, with the audio on a complete stutter. Task manager>end!
Any ideas?
