Thanks for the replies Skid. Kinda sucks that I can't do what I want but it'll be cheaper for me to buy 3 nice 24's or even 28's that run at 1920X1200 anyway. Plus I'd still have my sweet 30" for another machine or as a 4th (2nd) monitor :)
Thanks again, appreciate the insight :) |

I've done the math man, a thousand times ... Take a look at this Skid .... Skip to about the 5: minute mark of this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_ryCJKz1N8&feature=related
This is running on a single ATi 5870 !
Maybe someone else out there has experience with this ? |

Is anyone here running that high a resolution over 3 monitors ?
A friend of mine is powering 3X27's (but at 1920X1200) with a single 5870 and getting a steady 60+ FPS in all titles over 3 screens
So I thought I may be able to drive the 30's with a 5970 ? Just a thought |

| I currently have a decent gaming system. I run a single LG W3000H 30" IPS Panel @ 2560X1600 At the moment I have 2 nVidia GTX280's in SLI. I am looking at picking up 2 more LG 30's to run a multi monitor surround gaming environment on. I could wait until nVidia releases the new drivers to support su... |

| OK, so now what ? I picked up a trio of 24's, they're sitting behind me brand new in the boxes. Should I set them up and download and run SoftTH ? I know that Soft TH will not work with SLI, so I'll have to run all 3 monitors off of one card and my second GTX will be wasted as just a passthru for th... |

| Don't hold your breath for SimBin to even answer an e-mail or forum post let alone change anything at the request of their customers. I can honestly say they have the worst, by far customer support ... actually they don't because they have no customer support, they just ignore people ... period ....... |

| Here's a few shots of mine. I've really been considering getting away from TH2G and going back to a single large monitor just due to the fact that I cannot stand playing on a single, non widescreen 19" monitor when a game doesn't support surround gaming or is just too graphics intensive eg: Crysis a... |

| Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm a dumb ass but when I change my desktop rez to 1280 X 1024 to use a single monitor and then set the rez to the same in the game settings, the game starts in a window and I can't seem to maximize it at all. I'm really hoping that I've totally overlooked something. Please... |

| I have played with the zoom from within the sim and zoomed all the way out while in the VC but I still can't seem to get back far enough. I have a few FS nuts as friends and will be asking them if I can manually edit some .cfg file to allow a greater level of zoom. |
