It was touch and go about whether they'd fit on my desk but they JUST do with monitor 3 kind of wedged against the wall to stop it rocking! lol
looking good,
now there's no going back to one screen.
google TS743A its cheaper than a new desk,
your monitors will just fit.
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.

I will get a stand if I stick with it. Better game like hell over the next week to decide! I do think it's a case of getting used to it as well... it's just the obvious bits which are bugging me:
a) can't find a way to save the bezel corrected resolution and then move back to extended desktop mode when finished gaming
b) stretched side monitors in landscape (should try portrait)
On the plus side - I'm happy with the performance of one card it's as I was expecting which is decent enough if you're happy to sacrifice some IQ. I'm happy with the angles of the three screens now as well (angle more acute)
After doing bezel correction did you go into Change Resolution and select the new resolution and apply and save?
I think its growing on you![]()
Yeah it's just it doesn't look there's a way to go back to extended desktop mode without re-do'ing it all. Unless I'm blind!

Excellent
How well does the new 680 over clock?
That will have to be a tomorrow answer. Hoping for 1200 at least and I'll be happy. The 680 windforce is a beastly looking card. Both cards running very, very cool at idle which is a good start. Means there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the set-up/airflow.
Just need to run some benchmarks tomorrow to get a feel of how it overclocks. And I need to re-do my overclock on the CPU which I'm not looking forward to!
I don't think you understand how the limit is handled buddy
You really have to push extreme levels of AA to have trouble!
Is that 'fisheye' effect bad Rusty? This was one thing that looked weird IMO. It looked fine with games like Dirt 3 but BF3 made it look wrong.
It's difficult to say. Because my perception of it could be worse because the whole thing is new and I was looking directly at the side monitors testing it all out.
What I will say is it is definitely noticeable while playing if you do look at it. If you let the periphery screens settle in the corner of your eye, it works quite well.
I can't get a custom FOV to make it look any better. I will try portrait surround to see how it goes.
On the plus side it looks like my second 680 is a decent clocker. Boosts to around 1150 out the box and just passed Heaven first time with a +100 boost to 1250 (no memory overclock for that run). Score was 2020 which ain't bad for no memory overclock!
If I can get another 20 Mhz out the core then that'll match my current 680.
2100 with +110 and +350
CPU is at stock as well although don't know how much difference an extra 1.2 Ghz will make on the score.
Just under 4000 (3998) in SLI. I'll take that. Very impressed.
