Is this possible:

I am using a triplehead2go digital edition along with 3 monitors and a nvidia gtx 470.
One of my monitors recently died and I was wondering if it was possible to use a 120hz monitor along with the triplehead2go.

From reading these forums I understand that the triplehad2go alone will not support 120hz refresh rate however, I was wondering if it would be possible to connect 2 monitors to the triplehead2go and the 120hz monitor directly in my graphics cards 2nd DVI slot.

The problem with this is my monitor layout, I want to use the 120hz monitor as the "main" screen and then the two 60hz monitors for left and right.

However connecting it like I described will create one monitor with the size of 3360x1050 and one 1680x1050. Atleast that's how windows is seeing it.

I want to "cut" the 3360x1050 into two monitors so they will be placed in the correct position for my monitor layout.

I tried to draw this diagram to make it more clear what I mean



Is this at all possible?

That set as you have it drawn isn't possible, the TH2G unit is effectively seen as one big screen, so even with SoftTH you can't do it that way (if you had the 120Hz monitor on ether side it might work), you can use your 120Hz monitor with your TH2G so long as the monitor is fine with running at 57-59Hz. You will have to disconnect it from the TH2G to get it to run at 120Hz thought.

Yeah, that's not going to work. But that drawing is pretty awesome. The TH2Go makes the image one big image out of the box. So to do 120 HZ the monitor would have to be on either side.
