A single GTX 560 will not run 3 monitors @ 5760X1080... if you want multi-monitor off a single card go ATI.

i meant to say i am running two gtx560

Should be pretty simple then. Enable SLI and use all DVI ports. You can't use any VGA plugs.

i understand how to get three monitors working in general. what i cannot figure out is how to run world of warcraft at a res of 5760x1080. ive seen it done and have seen lots of info saying it can be done, but i cannot for the life of me find a how-to that explains just that. how to enable that resolution.

 

[swartzsubaru]

so that it is set at fullscreen across all three monitors and not warped.

Are you running 5760X1080 under windows? If so, just go into the games settings and change the res. to 5760X1080.

edit: I see... go here and ask on the WOW forums. You'd probably get more support...

its set at 1920x1080 for each monitor. not sure how to set the windows res any higher. currently i only have two of the monitors hooked up. the third will be here shortly. what i am looking for is the how-to so that when it is here, i will be set. with duals, does it make a difference if one monitor is plugged into each card? or should they be in the same card?

 

[swartzsubaru]

@mental- where in the control panel would i enable the surround? or would that automatically show up when the third monitor is plugged in?

 

[swartzsubaru]

btw, if this works instantly when i plug in the third monitor, i apoligize for wasting your time. i just want to have this figured out beforehand

 

[RussK1]

Under windows, right click your desktop and click screen resolution and make sure your @ 5760X1080... anyway, MAL knows far more than I with NVIDIA hardware.

Also, I'm under the impression WOW doesn't officially support Multi-monitor.

 

[swartzsubaru]

basic triple monitor functionality is not the issue. it is running wow at a res of 5760x1080 across all three screens at once for a very wide view

I know what you mean... Skyrim is the same way for me. I can play but the menu's are bloated and unreadable which sucks, I checked Bethseda's site and they do not officially support M.M.. and I believe W.O.W. is the same. You could go here http://www.widescreenfixer.org/ and see if W.O.W. is listed.

 

[swartzsubaru]

ok, well im going to have to back track a little. as i said, the third 23" monitor isnt here yet. i plugged in the spare 19 and the surround option came up. now i have a different problem. lets start with that one if we can. thanks first off for your time mental. i am at a point where it seems only 2 monitors are able to be used at one time. it seems that it can be any combination of the three, but one is always disabled when i enable another. lets start there if we can

Darn straight, I've never received any payment from them! [:mousemonkey:2]

 

[swartzsubaru]

as far as i know, the budy who built me this cpu over the weekend should have gotten everything up to snuff. as far as a bios is concerned, i really have no idea what im doing there.

 

[swartzsubaru]

after seeing the stuff come up when i plugged in the spare monitor, i think ill just have to wait to find anything out until the new one comes

hahaha, I'd sue! :lol:

 

[RussK1]

the spare 19 is what's throwing it off, will not work like that, has to be closer matching monitor resolutions to work.
2 wides and 1 standard will not work.
but if you have the control panel with the surround option then your almost there.....
all you need is the third matching monitor..

+1 [:russwood1488:7]

I tried that but they said I'd have to go into the vault and get the cash myself and I wasn't going to fall for that one.

 

[swartzsubaru]

will do mental. thanks

You'd have to take an arrow to the knee.

What is this fascination with arrows in the knees?

It's a Skyrim thing... "I'd like to be a moderator like you, but I'd get an arrow to the knee."

I surmise it's a variant of Achilles... anyway sorry OT.
