SoftTH is a Software Tripple Head solution, instead of using nvidia surround or ati eyfinity.

I can't seem to get it working properly. One concern is that my screens are not all the same width. The instructions said it would multiply center screen by 3. Also it said something about a maximum dimension of 4096. Do I have to stay below that width?

Oh, and also, the DR says that CS:S is "native" for multi-monitor. Is SoftTH even necessary then?

No softth is not required, it is a software alternative to eyefinity and surround (which are hardware solutions).

I'm starting to understand. I found out that the d3d8 and d3d9 dll files need to be in bin directory, while config and hook files need to be in main exe directory for css to work. So I was able to get my proper resolution working, but... it looks very very strange. What's the best way to post screenshots on this forum? It will be sort of large.

Actually, I'm suspecting it's because my 2nd video adapter is an iogear dvi usb adapter, and I doubt it's direct3d or whatever is required.

Do either nvidia or AMD support 3:4, 16:10, 3:4 yet though? I've been out of it for a little while.
