Argh, tried this and it kept giving me an error when attempting to set up 5040x1050 @ 55hz. :oops:

Guess its back to old faithful drivers, again !

here you go, http://www.box.net/shared/9b3cr7c6zp for fussy people ;)

Thx! I know I'm fussy. But it serves me well most of the time. ;-)

Thanks much.

Ive been trying to get this to work with my sli 260's and 3x x223w acer monitors all day. This beta version allowed me to view the desktop perfect where everything else failed.

I have yet to try gaming but I hope that gos well also. But for now it is sleep time as it is 2am and I got work tomorrow.

If you have a 5040 desktop you should be OK for gaming, sleep well ;)

I'm about to give up on Matrox, and sell my second projector, and just go back to good-ole problem-free single screen gaming. The Matrox gear has never fully worked for me. 2880x900 was all I could ever get it to produce. And since Matrox, based on my discussions with their tech support team members, seem fairly blaise' most of the time about our problems. They make gear for gaming but they do not seem to be gamers, so at the end of the day I don't think they really care much about us.

This duration of time without support for my 295's is just ludicrous. I can't even get the 2880x900 that used to work. I keep checking on their site but nothing. Their last driver posting was Dec 19th 2008 for crying out loud.


I'm sure if I used regular monitors it might have worked better. But even if I did it wouldn't work now as they've told me straight up that they do not support the 295 series cards. . I really just don't think they care. Not at all.

I hate giving up. I hate quitting. I really do. Especially with tech gear. And especially after the money I spent on my projectors AFTER Matrox told me over the phone that their TH2Go would indeed work fine with my projectors (I wouldn't have pursued this setup without asking a lot of questions first..unfortunately all they did was say "yes" and not bother to check their own materials). But when the mfr doesn't care then what is the consumer to do?

SoftH2go is just no good. Not for quality frame rate gaming. Someone needs to crack one of the Matrox boxes and come out with community driver support. Maybe then it would really work... but at least it would be supported by people in the gaming community, who care about the gaming community.

why don't u sell ur 295 and go sli 260+ 216 or 275 sli?

u'll get similar performance and save some money 260 sli will worth with 5040x1050

I wish I had something for you. MY single GTX295 works fine.

295GTX work fine with Crysis or GTA4 on 5040X1050 with AA/AO more of 40fps easy.

I have this working with the 182.50 drivers on my SLI 8800GTX cards in Windows XP x64.

All of my games have run just fine so far.
