eyefinity side monitors stretched

DecoySA · 29 Aug 2011 at 11:48

I'm finding with certain games such as BFBC2 that the sidemonitors are horribly stretched, I've read that this is normal... Surely that can't be true ? It looks terrible and kinda makes eyefinity completely worthless in my eyes.

oddly enough the game I play most iracing is fine as far as I can see and there is no stretching whatsoever. So why do I get it in other games like BFBC2 ? Were they not designed with eyefinity in mind ?

Are there any other games out there which work properly with eyefinity and don't have stretched image on the side monitors ?

it looks so ugly and makes me wish i had never gone down the triple screen route

like this?

you can try tweaking the FOV. Or maybe something wrong in the eyefinity settings

Ive read a few reviews on this as Im considering 3 monitors, and the most talked about reason that its "stretched" is to provide a realistic view on it.

You cant see perfectly out of the side of your eyes while looking forward can you?

Dont know how true this is.

I dunno it's kinda hard to tell from that video if there is stretching or not.

As for the not being able to see perfectly out of the side of my eyes, well that's true but stuff also doesn't look twice as wide in the corner of my eyes...

I saw a video on it that explained it happened because once the monitors are angled it's supposed be a realistic pov. Try angling your monitors in more.

This is one reason why I've not bothered with eyefinity. I wouldn't be too happy to play games with two side monitors producing distorted imageries. Until they sort it out, it's simply not worth the £400+ for two extra monitors.
