I think you need to put a check mark next to " enable DX11" in options because when I uncheck this box it goes all streachy like this.

Also if I play this game in windowed mode, I dont get crossfire support :(

Another question I've come across is about the TrackClip Pro for the TrackIR. How long is the cord? Can't find anywhere with this information even in reviews. Maybe that's because its long and a non-issue but I'd like to know. Thanks again. -Cinnabuns My Track ir pro clip cord is about 7 feet maybe...

I find Homefront runs better at 5040 x 1200 and add (-compatscale=4;-d3d10) to your steam launch options. You can also turn off stuff like FPSsmoothing=false and a few other ones too. Only thing that I need to fix is the HUD Icon sizes for the Targets, like A, B, C, D etc. they obstruct my view beca...

Is your matrox firmware software and driver all up to date from matrox.com?

you can always try softTH software with that ATI card plus another smaller nvidia card like a 8800.

Try running your matrox software set-up wizard and try selecting diffrent settings ie.(triplehead) to see if 3840 x 1024 or 3 x (1280 x 1024) shows up for selection. What type of monitors do you have? Are all 3 the same identical?

Here is a Arma2 video I recorded awhile back when I still had my Matrox Triplehead2go set-up at 3840 x 1024. Using Arma2 & Arma2 Operation Arrowhead as Combined Operations with the ACE2 Mod. I am also using Track IR.

When I use only the first memory slot on my MB (slot closest to CPU) to test each individual 2GB stick, the pc turns on but i get a blank screen and nothing happens. however It does work (boots up)when I put it in the second slot when testing each stick though. Is this normal?

I have 4GB of Corsair XMS3 Dominator 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz CL9 DIMM w/DHX sitting here that I purchased awhile back for someone else but they never came through with the money. So all I need is to buy 4GB more today at http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_312_611&item_id=0...

Yes I will do that next. What kind of ram do you recommend I buy for my set-up. Money isnt really a factor because I dont want to cheap out on ram this time. I may also switch back to my original Motherboard, the Asus P7P55D-E PRO, as its easier & more stable Overclocking using Asus TurboV Evo softw...

V3.4 and it seems to test only 4GB (4056M)instead of all 8GB, but regardless it came up with 3 errors and test is still running (pass 29%) so far it shows 2 errors on slot 0 and 1...

I am considering an upgrade to a i7 950 cpu but I would also need a new socket 1366 Mother board, maybe the The Asus Rampage Formula III GENE would work great for widescreen gaming in junction with my ATI 5790?

maybe you could keep the 24" and flip 2 x 19" (16:9/16:10) wide srceen monitors 90 degrees so they are in portriat or maybe it would work better with 2 x 18" monitors or maybe even get 2 x 19" monitors at 4:3 (non wide screen) then you dont have to flip them then. Just a though :)
