"...The screen includes five inputs per panel..." I don't see how that's a "six-screen monitor". It's six nice monitors on a nice stand and your system will see it as such.

Welcome to the club (of hating every unsupported or vert- game and of never being able to stand playing any rig not set up like yours - still - it's a lot of fun and I wouldn't go back.)

One chunk of software I found indispensable with my TH2G is GridMove. It requires a bit of setup at first - though I posted my TH2G grid here: (Link) The great thing is that (1) it's Free and (2) it's so simple to use once set up: [Win]-[1] resizes the active app to screen 1, [Win]-[2] resizes the a...

From what I've read at 3x(1680x1050) the card needs to output at 57Hz rather than 60. ATI cards lowest output is 60.

Most if not all 3d games won't support that type of setup. I know that Flight Sim 2004 will with a 3rd party plugin, however. Check out SoftTH, as I think that would be applicable to what you're describing.I'll third that, providing it works with your game(s) of choice. Otherwise you're out of luck...

I had a 7950 GX2. I traded it to a friend. He had issues a week later and sent it in for warranty. He got a 9800 GX2 back. D'oh!

I wonder if you card is going bad on you.

Tyinsar, What are you using to mount your 6-monitor setup? I know there are mounts available, but I'm curious which one you use. I've been thinking of going the 6-monitor route also. FalconAF (also in Las Vegas). :lol:Sorry for the long delay in a response, I've been away. I removed the plastic hou...

...This would also overcome the removal of horizontal-span modes in Vista, which is an epic fail imho when MS removed that option....
I rely on vertical span mode but won't use Vista on my game system for that same reason. :evil: Epic Fail indeed MS

We had 2 Th2Gos running 6 screens with a single nVid card in vertical span mode in the labs a little while ago. Just for fun we were running Crysis across all 6 monitors seen as one. Frames-per-sec were okay, but indeed the bezels got in the way. :)You mean there's a chance I tried it before you gu...

Welcome to the forums. Here's what my experience with 2 TH2G & 6 19" screens taught me: 2 TH2G limits you to XP since Vista doesn't support span mode. Also the massive resolution hammers ALL graphics cards pretty hard (& forget about SLI - it won't work.) If you're playing graphically simpler games ...

You are correct on both counts. I wish the TH2G supported more but... I guess I should have added that I ended up using 19" (1280x1024) screens. Other than what I mentioned I can't see another way around the centered bezel issue (other than using expensive high-res projectors). For me that's a show ...

The problem I see with the DH2G is that you have a bezel in the center. Even with two of them and 4 monitors you'll still have that issue. My solution was to go with 2 TH2G units in vertical span mode (3 wide x 2 high). Because of centered pop-up messages I notice the horizontal bezels more than I d...

Well, that's one way to boost your post-count.

@icemansthunder: This forum offers an "edit" feature if you just posted and want to change it. It also has a "quote" feature.

Looks great indeed. I'm guessing BA2 might have higher requirements and thus have a nasty frame rate at larger resolutions.
