Make a 9 monitor stack for alien swarm. 3x3. It'd almost be like cheating.
Not really, since you'd have the same aspect ratio as a normal 16:10, 16:9, 4:3, or 5:4 monitor.Quote:

So I just discovered that you can use Matrox PowerDesk software on Nvidia Surround setups to carve out virtual monitors, it's similar to Hydragrid on Eyefinity setups but seems to work a little better. For those interested, you just need to setup Nvidia Surround or 3D Surround like normal and then download the appropriate version of PowerDesk.

first off, holy shit my browser is lagging. secondly, when you guys game with 3 screens, do you sit in the middle of the 3 screens with the two outlying ones turned toward you so you see them in your peripheral vision? it seems like an obv how its done befn, but im just wondering if thats how its done before i go buy 3 screens. i really want to do this but not if it doesnt actually work well.
Yeah just angle the two outside ones toward you a bit so there's no color-angle issues.
I actually have a question of my own, what games are out there that are non-violent but look fantastic on triple-monitors? I'm looking for more games that I can demo at my Best Buys triple-monitor setup. We have Need for Speed Shift 2 on there right now, I really want to put on Just Cause 2 but it's to violent. There can't really be any kind of killing in the game.
This fucking thread makes my browser use retarded amounts of memory.
Kill it with fire.
Put Minecraft on it!
I said games that look fantastic and support triple-monitors fairly well!Quote:

Yeah that page even crashed my browser.
Wonder if SoftTH works with World of Tanks... omg plz dont ban :( :)
Loads fine for me! Just download more rams and faster internet.
Also I think that page has like 250 MB of jpgs of just MW2.
Obligatory: ~MW2 sucks so bad that pics of the game are crashing your browser!~
It's still on the same page for me...
Well there's your problem.
Yeah, I should probably change my posts per page setting to an undesirable amount just so I can have the pleasure of reading this thread without having my browser severely lag and crash. That's obviously the most logical solution here. Thanks for the input.
EDIT: Just blocked them all with Adblock.
Dirt 3:
And the rest:
Battlefield Bad Company 2:
The rest:
Trine:
More here of course:
The best thread ever just keeps getting better :smile:
I like how the tank view in Freelancer's BC2 pics has perfect outside visibility to the left and right.
Monitors are getting cheap now so my dream setup (like these) will financially be within reach soon, but the main problem is the physical space.
Hello again, keeping the best thread ever alive. :)
This game is too beautiful.
(PS: From this point out all posts made in this thread will have thumbnails to save browsers and loading time. I'll see about older posts too.)

I'm too OCD. I can't stand a single stuck pixel, let alone a massive bezel breakin' up my picture.
To each his own, man.
Have you tried it? My friend is hardcore OCD (measures item placement and balances horizontal lines on his desk daily) and he's the one that introduced me to triple monitors.
I have. My 17" 1280x1024 and two smaller 1024x768 monitors. Ran all three at 1024x768.
does bezel compensation do any good?
also, waiting for 2560x1440 to be available in 24" and smaller monitors... c'mon, if you can put 1920x1080 into a 15.6" laptop screen, you can give a 23" or 24" the 2560x1440 love. 1920x1080 in 21.5" was a big deal for me, though I wouldn't mind seeing it in 20".
Except 2560x1440 is a specialty resolution just like 1920x1200, 1680x1050, 1440x900, and even 1280x1024 are now.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
I totally can't wait for Revelations this fall. I just hope it's not delayed on the PC like the last games have been. I haven't played any Assassin's Creed games on the PC since the first game, and I really have to give Ubisoft credit for the flexibility of their engine. If you notice in the pictures, the aspect ratio and FOV is perfect, and the HUD is locked to the center of the screen. I didn't have to modify a single thing - it worked flawlessly right out of the box. I would LOVE to play Revelations on this setup. The game looks and performs phenomenally better on a PC opposed to a console.

Mirror's Edge looks cool as shit on that triple-wide...
DICE is awesome.
Also, I'm pretty much out of ideas for games to show off. If anyone has any suggestions of good games that I'm missing, please suggest them. Otherwise, the next big games to show off are going to be Skyrim and Battlefield 3.....oh yes.....
Edit: I'll start making a list. If you have any recommendations of games that should be on the list, or recommendations of games I should play that are on the list, let me know.
Games that I could do (if I have time to play again):
- Oblivion
- Portal 2
Games I have never played:
- Dragon Age
- Witcher 2
Games I don't want to touch because I'm not interested (anyone is welcome to test these because I never will):
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- GRAW (any)
- STALKER
- Batman (any)
- Crysis (fuck this series)
- Dead Space (any)
- Black Ops
- Just Cause 2
**NOTE: The list of games I don't want to touch is not a list of games I haven't played...I just don't want to install them and play their campaign again.
How can you like Oblivion and NOT like STALKER? STALKER is probably one of the BEST games to demo with triples.
I imagine the F.E.A.R series would look pretty good in triple display.
I can do some Just Cause 2 ones jcap, that is, if I get this SLI issue sorted on my new setup...
I didn't say that I didn't like it, I said I didn't care for it. When the game came out it was on my list of games to play, but I never got around to it. I lost much interest in it since release, and I don't really care to play an RPG right now. Oblivion is on the list of games I could play because, despite being an RPG, I have the game and I've explored the world before.Quote:

Sure, if you like looking at hallways in your peripheral vision. In all seriousness though, I thought of it, but I don't think it would be a good candidate for triple screens. Also, I never want to play a FEAR game again. The FEAR series was interesting at first, but it got stale and disorganized fast. FEAR 2 was cool. Then FEAR 3 was an embarrassment of a game to me. It pretty much tops MW2 on my list of most hated games ever.Quote:

Oh? I swear to god I saw videos where people were engaging in interactive conversation with characters and managing inventory. Guess I was wrong. :-/Quote:

I'd call it a survival game. Apart from the occasional NPC interaction, it doesn't have many RPG elements.
