Vendetta Online supports TH2Go I think. Worth checking out the free eight hours of playtime.

.... I can now cancel the TH2Go that I ordered. Woo Hoo! Good for you! By the way, I've tried SLI with SoftTH (two 8800GTX cards in SLI, and a 8400GS conneced to side monitors for SoftTH). SLI offers no performance increase when used with SoftTH, so I ended up selling one of the 8800GTX cards.

My wife walked in and watched while I was attempting to solve one of the shadow levels. For a while she didn't even ask any questions, until suddenly they started pouring out of her. It's a pretty rough game to jump into the middle of!

Yes, Tim Schafer has made excellent games. Mostly point and click adventure games. Psychonauts would have been a great point-and-click adventure game. It saddens me that I played the demo and actively disliked the game. I like wonky, I like Tim Schafer, I like liking games that the mainstream largel...

I can vouch that TF2 and HL2 works a charm on three monitors using SoftTH.

SoftTH doesn't work with WoW anymore since a patch a few months ago. SoftTH does work with Warhammer Online, Lord of the Rings Online, and Dungeons and Dragons Online, if you are willing to look into other MMOs.

My group of friends just decided to play DDO.

I don't want to delete Vista, but I am getting the same problems described above... oh well...

EDIT

It works fine if you use SoftTH version 107b.

I'm running 5040x1050, and SoftTH allegedly doesn't play nice with SLI so this has me considering running just one card instead of two. The GTX 285 or 295 is tempting me.

Currently I am running two 8800GTX cards in SLI and a 8400GS card for SoftTH. I know rumor has it that SoftTH doesn't like SLI, but it works even though I haven't extensively messed around with benchmarking. Is it time for a video card upgrade? Should I sell the 8800GTX cards (I see them going for a...

I have to agree that SoftTH's developer is very unresponsive, and that the forum he put on his website is pretty bad. We can't even get him to sticky a list of working games, and when someone posts a solution to make a certain game work it is very hard to search the forums to find it, so people ask ...

Game compatibility? What can you run on a TH2Go that I can't run on SoftTH? I'm not trying trying to be rude, I just don't know of any games like that. With SoftTH, you don't actually edit the game's config files. To make SoftTH work you modify SoftTH's config files and then drop a copy of the files...

- SLI/CF in softth just ´works´, but performance is worst than with only one gpu. One working gpu + a cheap one alone will give more frames than two of the same in sli + a cheap one. - Softth takes a considerable performance hit above the th2go hit, because th2go hit is only about resolution and f...

WoW has been working fine for me using three 1680x1050 widescreen monitors (5040x1050). I use SoftTH. However, the recent patch has introduced a frustrating mouse problem. After I click things with the mouse, the mouse pointer instantly resets to the middle of the right monitor. So I'm constantly dr...

I like SoftTH so much I sold my TripleHead2Go (granted it was the analog version). TripleHead2Go doesn't support three 1680x1050 monitors at 60Hz, and SoftTH does. You do have to put in a second video card but it can be a piece of crud (8400GS, for example). The drawbacks are that it does take tweak...

Wow the GTX 295 does look like a winner. I'm running two 8800GTX cards with SoftTH now, I may have to consider ebaying them and getting the GTX 295. Guess we'll know more next month.

After owning a TH2Go, then trying SoftTH, I'd say that it isn't worth buying a TH2Go.

Why pay money when you can get the same solution for free?

Official support would be nice, maybe I'd see a performance increase.

But I have multimonitor and SLI anyways (using a third video card).
