I am hoping someone can help me solve this without having to fully uninstall and reinstall Skyrim, which is what I had to do in the past. I have 3 30" monitors in portrait mode, for a resolution of 5106x2560 (that's with bezel correction- 4800x2560 standard). I am using NVIDIA nSurround. When I...

Very interested! From where I sit in the Obutto cockpit, 4960x1600 is the sweet spot for surround. I have a 20-30-20 PLP setup but have been frustrated by having to use softTH (don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate it, but it's not tht intuitive, and doesn't work with newer titles above DX9), a...

I have been but am still experiencing distorted menus in game, which is why I posted these questions. Perhaps there others here using mixed (PLP) resolutions, and if so, how have they gotten the in-game menus to scale properly? There aren't many forums devoted to surround gaming, so this seems like ...

peppergomez I have 3 things for you to try/check, though I am not very well versed with softTH. 1) Before loading widescreen fixer (make sure its not loaded), check you are already in your bezel corrected resolution. Then load it and check if it auto detects the bezel corrected res. 2) Reset the ho...

Hey folks, I am having trouble applying Widescreen Fixer fixes to either Mass Effect 3 or to Skyrim, and figure there must be something I'm doing wrong.

Want them in portrait mode- 1200x1600 on either side. Would the first choice be the Dell UltraSharp 2007FP? I am using an HP ZR30W 30" monitor, in case that matters in terms of image consistency, etc. There's also this NEC 20IN LCD 1600X1200 http://www.amazon.com/20IN-LCD-1600X.../dp/B000V7RGJK Than...

I'm going the surround gaming, 3-monitor route, for a total resolution of 7680x1440 (3 27" monitors). I am leaning toward a trifire AMD solution for my GPUs- 1 HD6990 and 1 6970, so I'll need a motherboard that places plenty of space between PCI slots. My budget is whatever it takes. Ha ha. Well, on...

Especially interested in finding out suggestions for a good 27" 2560x1440 monitor, and a few folks have suggested this. Not sure how well the search function works on this site because even though I posted elsewhere asking about this monitor, searching the site brought up no hits on this monitor.

I am looking for a good 27" 2560x1440 monitor for 3-screen PC gaming, and a few folks on the HardForum recommended this monitor.
Have any folks here used it?

I have a 30" monitor. One thing I hope not to sacrifice when I move to 3 monitors (using either AMD or NVIDIA, not sure yet which) is vertical resolution. Going from 1600 to 1080 seems like a noticeable loss of real estate, especially in flight sims where that means less of the clickable cockpit is ...

If so, I'd be interested to hear how well it performs on current games, what your specs are, how you deal with the temperature and noise output, and how much power it uses. Thanks.
