Hi,
I just got NFS Shift2.
I got 3x23" LED Monitors (landscape) on ATI6970.
In the video option, the max resolution is 1920x1080.
Anyone know how to enable 5760x1080?

I can press Ctrl+NSF to run in Window mode and strecht the NFS window across 3 monitors but the game does not run the correct aspect ratio.

Thank you.

That's weird. Try editing the config file manually: DocumentsSHIFT 2 UNLEASHEDgraphicsconfig.xml

Hi,
I replaced the resolution figure from '1920' to '5760'

but nothing get changed.
When I rerun the game, the system automatically reset back the resolution figure to '1920'.
Are there any other figures that I need to modify?
Below is the content of the file graphicsconfig.xml

A dumb question, but do you have your Eyefinity grouping setup in the Catalyst control panel yet?

I tried to set Eyefinity but I don't know if Catalyst Control Center (version 11-4) is the problem or not.
When I try to set Eyefinity in the CCC, the screen resolution of 2 monitors (DVI-D) is automatically set to 640x480 and the system can only detect 2 monitors.
Then, when I press "Arrange" button, CCC stops responding.
After that the PC can only detect 2 monitors (DVI-D connection), while the 3rd monitor (via a passive mini-display-port to VGA adapter) is setup by the system as 640x480 but the screen is blank (the signal indicator shows no signal sign).
Finally, I have to use system restore to get back to its normal working condition.

PS. 3xLG 2360 LED Monitor (1920x1080)

Finally, I managed to setup Eyefinity display group of 3x1(Landscape) and be able to play Shift 2 Unleashed at 5760x1080.

Thank you for your advice.

Can you play online at that res ? For some reason I've never been able to join a game in multi-mon (although solo works fine).
