I think I can do 7x1 landscape too
all depend if softTH can run on 3 gpus or maybe second gpu with 4xDVI

at least second gpu + matrox triplehead but then I need spend extra $$ for matrox unit, but i dont want,
I want just doing it by cheapest way 8)

so then main lcd 5040x1050 (3) and sides 2x 3360x1050 (2)

so 11760x1050 :twisted:

i tried this and failed. What setting are you using?

My setup. All Screens are at 1080p on desktop. But I was trying to do 720p during game play.

8400x1050 @ DX9
WORKS

:mrgreen: :rockout



Hrrrm, interesting. Running EyeFinity on the center 3 and SoftTH on the outer 2?

I'm curious, could you run DXCapsView like I posted earlier in the thread? Noone has actually ran DXCapsView yet on the EyeFinity cards. I'd like to definitely see what they show instead of us always taking second hand info as fact on the 8k limitation.

yes
main screen (1) is 3three physical lcds on desk to eyefinity group and sides are plugged to game by SoftTH

about settings?
plug and play

I am using win7 pro (I think 32 bit)
hd5770 gpu with stock drivers from CD (but now hd5850 works too)
2gb ram

only problem is - 4 monitors are mine and 1 I needed borrow from brother for test
so every time when I unplugged/plugged any lcd, I needed to make setting eyefinity group and from begining (but for one time configuration its not a problem obviously)

edit///
of course buying 5870 eyefinity card will be better then softTH, bcoz SoftTH @ lcds work 30% slower than eyefinity @ 3 lcd, in DIRT2

dont have time to test in other games for now but in other thread I saw eyefinity do SoftTH comparasions

edit2///
DXcapsview ?
what is it and how I can use it?

It's a utility that is bundled with the DirectX SDK that shows capabilities of video card hardware.
