I finally got everything working properly. What games would you recommend to test out the battlestation first? Which are just amazing for 3 monitors?

Thanks!

That's a tough one... there are several that you could try out to give it a test run. Try DIRT2, any Source-engine game like HL2, Portal, or L4D, Burnout Paradise, NFS Hot Pursuit (the new one if you have it), Battlefield: Bad Company 2, World in Conflict, World of Warcraft, any of the games supported by the wsfixer program.

I don't know if there are more I can list off the top of my head... they're probably supported with minor quirks or I just have never played it in Eyefinity resolution yet. But have fun tinkering with the games in triple-wide. And welcome to the club. :)

Just Cause 2, Burnout Paradise or Metro 2033 if the system will take it in triplewide.

Great suggestions. What kind of games you your like the most? Flight games are pretty sweet, too.

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 immersive as well. Games that I don't really like in triple wide are RTS games. Overhead view type games (torchlight, titan quest, etc.) are alright.

And throw HAWX in the bag as well...

I've got some videos up on Youtube if you want to see gameplay (see siglink).

I will suggest two awesome action/adventure games where "Multi-mon is supported out of the box"

- Assassin's Creed 2 - It will be so great if Brotherhood support Eyefinity

- Prince of Persia - The Forgotten Sands
- Videos and comments : http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=20523
- just need a little registry hack to center the HUD see here

What are the best simulators? Both flying and driving? Got an eyefinity rig setup and want to try a few out.

best racing simulator is iracing

http://www.iracing.com

At first, i purchased myself a logitech g27 driving wheel for GT5 on ps3, but the game wasnt released yet so i decided to try something on PC. I was hooked by this simulator and now i have purchased a racing cockpit and a triple screen setup primarly for this.

I have excessive/compulsive personality.
