is there any way to fool drivers to detect 3 screens as 1 ?

[Mr. May]

okay here goes .....

what i would like to do ..

i have 3 screens 17inch@1280x1024 then a 22inch@1650x1050 then another 17inch@1280x1024

nvidia control panel detects them as 3 diffrent screens is there any program or anyway to make it think its one display@4210x1024 ?

specs in sig

thanks in advance merry xmas

Matrox Triplehead2go is for this sort of thing (although this is DVI IIRC, are those screens?)

Is also basically what ATI's new Eyefinity does.

You should have the options in the drivers for horizontal desktop span which will make it one big screen.

Does this work with crossfire?

 

[Mr. May]

Rroff is right there was once a a nvidia setting on the older drivers to merge screens to one resolution but not on the new drivers it was part fo "nview" if i am right but i can not find it any where to download

+1

Also Mr. May, your sig is too big.

I could be wrong but think they have limited that to thier professional cards now.

I still have the option on my setup with the latest drivers on Win XP - dunno about Win 7 as that setup only has one monitor attached.

This might work for you - SoftTH - http://www.kegetys.net/SoftTH/

Isn't Triplehead2Go VGA? I'm sure it was at launch.

Yes, Triplehead does work with Crossfire, the cards see just one monitor.

 

[Alexrose1uk]

Honestly can't remember, I seem to think there was at least a DVI version, but I cant be 100% sure, not something I really ever focused on.

Triplehead2Go digital is dvi i think

 

[Mr. May]

there are two triple head to go's a digital and analoge

analoge goes to a maximum of (1280x1024)x3 and is vga

the digital goes to a maximum of (1680x1050) and is dvi

and will not work with my res i want the softTH looks a good idea but how the hell do you get it to work anyone ??

btw iam running 17-22-17

(4:3)-(16:10)-(4:3)

(1280x1024)-(1650x1050)-(1280x1024)

You definately need SoftTH for your monitors/setup, as to how to set it up I believe it uses different configs for different Apps, and generally involves a lot of tweaking to get right,

There are some forums at the SoftTH website and http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page that should be able to help,

The other option is to get either another 17 or 2 more 22's (or at least 1680x1050 monitors) and then get either the Matreox TripleHead2Go as already mentioned, or an ATi 58xx card with 'Eyefinity' (although note the DisplayPort caveat with that option) and that will work far easier, albeit at extra cost...
