I think it's heavier than my laptop... and my laptop is no pushover (Asus G50xt).

I swear there was either a FAQ or a forum thread somewhere on this site that detailed how to do it for certain games... can't find it now.

For those of you running in triple wide, how's the performance? Does Xfire work? Does SLI look like it's scaling? My roommate has a GTX 480 SLI surround setup and at 5760x1080, he gets 20 fps with all settings on ultra (no AA... interestingly, the only AA option was supersampling for him which would...

You'd have to use softTH.

I don't get what you mean by 'not configured for SLI' - Does the motherboard support SLI? If it does, then configuring for SLI is purely at the software level as long as the motherboard supports it.

I'll second Just Cause 2 since it's got some pretty amazing sights to see in triple wide, especially in a helicopter / plane. I liked Devil May Cry 4 a lot in triple wide (it even centered the HUD). In general, racing and flying games will have a pretty big "wow factor". FPS games are pretty immersi...

Does anyone know a solution to play SC2 with eyefinity mode turn on. I dont mean that i want to game to extend to all 3 screens but when i try to play, it just replicates the game on all 3 screens. Is there a fix where you can just have the game show up on one screen? 1) turn back to normal extende...

My roommate has a gtx 480 SLI surround setup. I have a 5870 xfire eyefinity setup. Of course he has better performance. He also paid $1500 for the cards + water cooling (they were overheating on air). For my eyefinity setup, I have my default triple wide extended desktop and eyefinity profiles hotke...

Wasn't clear enough in my post, but the upgrade menu not appearing is only an issue when the xbox360 controller is selected as the input device. It works fine with KB/M mode.

Pretty fun game.

It works in xfire (actually can see some scaling, not that it matters). It works in triple wide 5760x1080!

The xbox360 controller works, but the upgrades menu isn't visible for some reason. This happens both on single and 3 monitors.

Some shots:

The first was decent when you got through the 20-hour intro.

I want six character battles.


Unfortunately I never made it past 10 hours. It was a let down for me. Good thing I decided not to buy it for xbox360 and just played it on my roommate's PS3.

Here it is: http://www.justcause2mods.com/index.php/mods/other/Miscellaneous/JC2-Map-Viewer/

I just wish there was a in-game version of the mod so you don't have to load it and check it out outside of the game.

Has anyone got 100% completion in Just Cause 2? It'd take ages. I think this comes back to the repetitive thing once you have finished all the story missions, it's pretty much the same. Enter location, carve up any Panau assets, look for the cases, spend half an hour on 97% completion looking for t...

I have an xfire eyefinity setup and my roommate has a SLI surround setup. Reviews and benchmarks will show great scaling (even in triple wide) for select games. What they don't show you is just how many games dual GPU setups flat out don't work in. I'm not saying the game won't run on a dual GPU set...

In your next review, could you also tell us something about the temperatures the card is running at? Especially with 1,2 and 3 screens? It turns out that the 6950 idles @ 60 degrees with 3 screens... and 40 degrees with 1.. which I didn't know :( It needs to increase the 2D clocks if it's running w...

The Vizio website says they only come in 50" and 56" flavors... and most likely very expensive. Ultra wide seamless monitors do exist up to 12:3 ratios... but they're an order of magnitude too expensive. I just wish we see wider and wider aspects at more affordable prices. I'd take an ultra wide sin...

The Vizio TV looks interesting. Any price figures?

Personally I'd like to see an affordable version of the Ostendo 32:10 display.

Roommate just ordered one for his monitors since they have almost no degrees of freedom (no height adjust, no rotation, no portrait, etc.). My monitors are plenty adjustable, but I might salivate over his setup enough to get one myself.
