So I have a delema, unless someone has a fix,

1440x900x3 (4320x900) 16:10
Game Fullscreen : Streched
Game Borderless : Perfect but no Crossfire. (2nd GPU 0% usage).

is there any way to have best of both worlds?

CY:G: I'm not sure about performance between the 2 methods, but turning V-sync on and setting V-sync mode to "Sparse" in-game will cap the framerate to 30fps.

I know that my card stopped overheating with v-sync (normal) on. It gives similar performance to v-sync off (almost identical) at around 45-60 fps depending on the scene, but the card runs a lot cooler. I think it's because of fps spikes in the menus. Why the hell can't these devs stop my card from spiking to 3500fps (literally) in the menu with v-sync off? It's an insane waste of power and my card revs up the jet engines as soon as I head into the (text-based) menu. Same if I alt-tab out to desktop.

I seriously doubt they will fix it - the game is riddled with "offscreen" quirks, like models disappearing and appearing (eg. not ment to be seen) - I'd say they've clamped the FOV in an attempt to limit that, might be wrong, clearly an after thought tho.

Game also has some form of executable integrity checking, so modifying the EXE in memory just causes it to crash after a short period of time, similar to Borderlands 1

Have you had any time to look in to it more if so there any chance that you could find a solution?
I'm motion-sick of the FOV. :sick:

Tomorrow is payday...yay! Pizza and beer money coming your way, and to Dopefish for the fine COD fix! :cheers:

Yup :( I just tried as well, the game is a mess with SLI and the FOV in multi screen mode. I don't understand why they have not fixed the FOV not showing up/working in multi screen mode only, if you switch to none multi screen mode the FOV slider works and is visible.

WSGF should contact/ask UbiSoft why they are specifically targeted multi screen users and purposely disabled their FOV slider in multi screen mode but not single screen mode. It be worth a shot.

Field of view setting is only disabled when you have the game set to borderless mode

Running the game in Windowed mode borderless or with borders is bad for SLI users. SLI needs fullscreen mode to be utilized.

You could try use MSI Afterburner / Riva Tuner to limit FPS to 60. Then it will be limited regardless of game state.

I don't see the field of view setting in any triple screen mode (fullscreen/window/borderless) - only when I reduce to a single monitor do I see it.
