Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi,

I've been reading the forums for years now, but never actually made an account, but now the day has come
I've been using triple monitor setup since 2012 and I cannot see me moving back to 1 monitor ever, some people ask: what about 4K? well the day we get GPUs powerful enough to run 3x4k monitors I might give it a go

But the first time I tried triple monitor setup was long time ago, more than 15 years ago, around 1998, I had to use 3 PCI graphics cards, 3 samsung syncmaster 3 monitors and the game I could get to work in multiple monitors at the time was UNREAL, but I had to run it in window mode to set resolution, it didn't fill the complete 3 monitors but around 2 and half, but unfortunately the 10cm bezel (5cm each monitor at least) didn't make it viable to use 24/7.

Welcome. Glad to see you here.

Welcome to the site.

Good old Unreal. I'm not surprised that game was able to function in semi-surround back then. I still believe that the UT99 engine is a marvel of simplicity, power, features, and moddability. To this day I can still fire up my dedicated server and conduct awesome LAN matches of CTF-Face, Dm-Hyperblast, etc.

Take that, all you modern, AAA-titles with no longevity.
