Can Matrox's TripleHead2Go Span Fun Across Three Displays?

How Well Does It Run?

We also used a single GeForce 7800GT to get the perspective of a 7 series card in the $300 range. We encountered issues with both setups when testing TripleHead2Go, specifically at a resolution of 1280x1024. Half-Life 2, F.E.A.R. and Oblivion all had their screens go blank and we were forced to unplug one of the monitors from the TripleHead2Go and plug it directly into the graphics card to get an output.

Clearly there is an issue with how the Matrox device sends a signal to the monitors, as the graphics card have no problem once a single monitor is chosen. This is something we hope Matrox can fix soon. We also ran into issues with Oblivion, as the 3840x1024 resolution caused the game to lock up when testing performance on the GeForce 7800GT. There are a lot of known bugs about Oblivion interacting with graphics cards, and this might be one of them, as Oblivion itself locks and closes to the desktop.
