Widescreen Gaming Forum

Just got my new toys set up (thnx Ibrin) and, well, the title says it all.

Surround Gaming is un-flippin-believable. Sure, the first 10 minutes gave my eyeballs an epileptic fit, but once that passed, I was in the game. Adding peripheral vision actually gives meaning to the term First Person Shooter (L4D, I'm scared of you), and I can see why racing junkies love Triplehead.

I vote that Matrox gets exclusive rights to the word "immersive" until someone invents a real holodeck.

Can't wait to add the Ergotron stand to the mix. :D

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.)

I just joined the party today, or well, yesterday now I suppose.. And already I'm in love.

Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, L4D.. Hell, everything I've played so far has just been amazing!

Mystic5hadow ... welcome to the forum ... :D

I agree, TH2Go is just fantastic!

Fallout3? What kind of settings are you using for surround. I think I detected some lag on my dual 4850's just maxing it out on my 37" @ 1920x1080.

I'm running FO3 at 5040 x 1050 with everything maxed out, I don't get any slowdown aside from VATS messing up on me for no reason, but it's apparently a common issue ever since they patched the game, so that has nothing to do with playing it surround or not.
