I absolutely would've if I could've found a link to the video -- all the mentions I found in other forum posts were dead. The stretching issue seems to change from game to game as far as noticeability. In retrospect, I wish I had portrait-oriented monitors to test. But regardless, multi-monitors are...

The Crysis FOV comparison is here (I wrote the article in question):

I'd like to let WSGF members know about this article that was published today, but don't want to come across as spamming. The WSGF forum is mentioned prominently, as are several of the tools that are useful for fixing multi-monitor issues. I'd like to hear feedback from the forum to better cover the...

The only Asus monitors I've used have been members of the VG278 family I've got a 3D version and the 3x 27" displays I mentioned earlier. With that said, I like them quite a bit. The one feature they don't have, that I wish they did, was the ability to rotate into Portrait. I would've liked to ...

According to NV, the 32-bit limitation *does* apply. Next-gen games are expected to use 64-bit, so in the long term, this won't be a problem.

It's difficult to say. The new Unigine Valley benchmark reports 4GB of RAM on the GTX Titan, while the game Shogun 2 (and several other titles) report 3GB. The only time I've seen an out-of-RAM error in a game was when benchmarking Shogun 2 and the GTX 680. Using 5760x1080 with 8x MSAA and all detai...

Anything that pushes Titan is going to push the GTX 690 a lot harder. Dual Titan's in SLI give you 6GB, dual GTX 690's give you 2GB and increased microstuttering. Since all data has to be duplicated across each GPU, the GTX 690's RAM is more properly stated as 2x2GB, not 4GB. But there's actually an...

I'd look to Titan for a screen resolution that high -- you're going to need RAM, and lots of it. 3x 2560x1440 is going to push even a single Titan -- I've been benchmarking one at 3x 1920x1080, and while it can drive Crysis 3, it can't drive it maxed out with AA enabled. For 3x 2560x1440, I think yo...

Are Asus' VG278's supported with the triple-stand? I've been using those for testing, and they play quite nicely with both AMD and NV. They're TN panels from Asus -- newer models have a 144Hz maximum refresh rate. $449 each at Newegg.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824236293

I know that AMD had a better multi-monitor solution in the beginning -- they focused on multi-monitor setups first, while NV focused on 3D gaming. I've recently gone through the process of setting up both an AMD and an NV box, and it seems to me that AMD's setup process is a tad more user friendly t...

I'm new to multi-monitor gaming (I'm a reviewer working on a writeup of the feature) and I'm somewhat confused about the nature of FOV adjustments. In Crysis 3, I've seen people say that the problem is that FOV can't be set low enough. When I used tools to set the game's FOV to 25 (the lowest value)...
