I was just looking at the different supported resolutions for the TH2G and noticed the dualhead modes, that it supports two 1920*1200 add a third one on an Nvidia card and you get a three screed display that supports almmost 7 MPs. How sweet is that! But you would have to find displays that support 58Hz refresh rate. Best of luck to anyone who tries this.

Games tend not to like anything but the primary monitor, in this case the TH2G running as 2x1920x1200@58hz.

Your game will likely run as 1920x1200 and refuse to run as 5760x1200 unless its windowed and most likely without much performance.

By the way, I've been playing with numbers and found that the best compromise would be to use 3x1558x876 provided of course the TH3G allows custom resolutions.

That res. is 16:9 and would be used in place of 1920x1080 native.
My reasoning is that while 3x1280x720 works(does it?), 1558x876 is 81% of 1080p vs 67% for 720p, not native but closer at least.

By the way, I've already done 1920x1080x3 using softth, just no games run properly for me so far.

Nvidia has a feature that makes two monitors seem like one and allows fullscreen apps to run across the two screens.

Span horizontal is capped at 2560x1024, I know, I tried it.
If you know how to add a res. to it, please share.

I would get a dual-head to go with a horizontal span for 1920x1080x2+1920x1080 but nvidia settings show it not possible atm.

Horizontal Span isn't capped as far as I can tell. I've run 2 tripleheads horizontally. However, both displays must be the same resolution, so no 2+1 or 2+3 (as I wanted), which means that you'll always end up with an edge in the middle.

They are -not- horizontally spanned, I'm talking about the '2 output merged as one monitor' in the nvidia panel, NOT using 2 monitors separately.
