work, work, and then 3 monitors in SLI for play
Hurumph. Too much work. Only 3 weeks left.
To post a follow-up on the Matrox TripleHead2Go, this is my solution to the lack of multi-monitor support with Nvidia and their new 8800 video card series. About 3 posts ago, I began a rant about this and it turns out the the Nvidia drivers for these cards just aren’t up to par.
Anyway, the Matrox TripleHead2Go is a product that allows you to utilize a single monitor output on the video card to spread it across 3 monitors. This product tells your computer that you have an ulta-wide monitor. The product works just as advertised and I now have 3 monitors running side-by-side. On top of that, I now have my two 8800 cards running in SLI mode so I get nice, smooth graphics for gameplay.
The company reports that you can play games in the wide-screen format as well. The trick is that the game has to be able to support wide-screen formats which not all games support. Yeah, I can play Quake, Call of Duty, and similar games with this wider perspective, but I can’t play Battlefield 2142 as such since you can’t change the aspect ratio for this game.
