Looks goodhow about portrait monitors? Get those bezels off too

Cool, I'm soo jealous of the 3 screens, I don't have the space myself.
Just using a single 680 Rusty?
If yes, how's it doing?
Haven't decided if I'm keeping them yet. More an expensive trial. I "wow" 'ed when I sat down in front of them. Just done my bezel correction (needed 125)
Bout to head into the Battlefield. My overclock is quite high so expecting to be able to play on High preset with no MSAA I would imagine!
Edit: Ultra, MSAAx2 not enough GPU power. Trying High preset now.
The 'stretching' on the two surround screens bugs me a little. High was fine for the most part. Had motion blur off and HBAO/SSAO off as well as I hate them in BF3.

Probably knock around 15% off for a stock 680.#
BF3, Conquest 64, Operation Firestorm, moving between B, C, D and E
Edit: Yes, 1 680 Tommy.
To be fair Ultra with no MSAA and FXAA maxed wasn't that much worse than that. I feel the pain when it drops below 50 FPS though. Will try medium but don't think it'll make much difference.
How you tried auto settings yet?
google TS743A its cheaper than a new desk,
your monitors will just fit.

A plank of wood is even cheaper.
Darn it,never thought of that.![]()
Very nice Rusty.
Are you able to run your monitors in Portrait mode? I have tried Landscape a number of times and I just can't get on with it due to the stretching. I also found that I was less tolerant of a lower framerate as well.
Your are getting very similar performance to me (single 670 overclocked to 1313/7000 in my case) at around 60fps average at high settings. As long as you don't touch any MSAA settings you can't get a good average framerate.
Auto is just a combination of medium settings. I see the benefits of lowering settings to get the Surround set up but as I've got a new 680 by my feet I think I'll try that.
To be fair, the stretching is bothering me more than the drop in settings at the mo.
Anyone use a custom FOV to alleviate the problem a little? Apparently that can help.
EDIT: Also what I did was tuck the outside screens bezel in behind the bezels of the middle so you can't see the outside monitor bezel at all.
Yeah changed now to the middle monitor in front of the other two and it is better. The fish eye effect on the sides still bug me a little as if I spot someone in a side monitor it's hard to move and acquire a target quickly due to the differing depth perceptions. Think I need to try portrait!
Or/and give it a little more gaming playtime, your eyes aren't used to surround gaming I guess, much the same as going 3D for the first time.
I felt like vomiting after my first testing/playthrough of various titles using 3D over the space of a couple of hours and thought it wasn't for me, but after a few nights, I guess my eyes started coping and the brain strain was gone.
Iv'e never used combined multi monitors for gaming before so I may be on the wrong train of thought completely though.
I don't think I've heard anyone(who has actually used the tech) saying they didn't like it for gaming, they all say they would never go back to single screen gaming.

Did you not see the posts above about AA and the limitations? They are there.
