Woe is me. I'm on a dual Dell 2007FPW and I so wish I could use that kind of setup. Oh woe is me. I dunno how BF2 and 2142 would handle this... but man, playing in Guild Wars would grant me all the screen estate that I could ever want.

Speaking of the new update, what is the frequency in Hz that the new resolutions are at? I think it would be helpful to know so we don't accidentally buy a monitor that doesn't support it.

57 Hz for 1440x900 and 5040x1050.

I have a new 22" Samsung and now run 3x 22" monitors along with my new shiny Matrox TripleHead2Go. mmmmmm surround gaming. 5040x1050





Oblivion (the FOV on this one needs adjusting)


Railroads


Stalker

If you come home tomorrow and your TH2Go, chair, and swords are missing, I know nothing about it. :roll: :wink:

Hi guys!

It is great to see this long waited update to our TH2G! :)

If someone is interested on the preformance drop, here goes few benchmark results with rFactor I just did over this weekend.

Dx9
Track: Montreal original
Car: Mod F1 MMG
Race with 26 cars, starting at the 13th position.

The FPS drop seems to be completely worth the image improvement.

Cheers,

Me

Well, now that I know it's 57 Hz... how would I go about setting that?

(4870 X2, Catalyst Control Center, Vista 64-bit)

Am I the only one who can't download the new version from Matrox's site? I click the link and it leads to a file that isn't there.

I'm not sure what you mean by "file that isn't there" ... but this this link which I added to the bottom of the original post should work .. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/support/gxm/windows/th2go/digital/howto1/
On that page there are instructions for installation ... a link to the "Firmware" and a link to the updated PowerDesk software.
When you click the link to get the Firmware you have to agree agree to the "Matrox Specific Notice" at the bottom of the page before it becomes downloadable.
Same goes for the GXM software suite 2.03.02 ... PowerDesk.

Hmm strange, it the download worked this time. BUT DISASTER, after trying to install the new firmware the screen being driven by the TH2GO went blank! (Only centered screen is driven by TH2GO in desktop mode). I had to reinstall the older firmware (2.1.0.5) I was running to get it to work again. : ( The whole reason I was doing this is because for some reason the TH2GO sometimes doesn't like to communicate with my video card and it shows "Unknown (no DDC communication)" and bezel management doesn't work.

Hey everyone,

I'm having some issues with the new 3x1680x1050 resolution. Notably, when I exit certain programs or games which change to a lower res, the system seems to have a hard time getting back into the 5040x1050 mode. Usually requires quite a few tries for it to go back into it and stay there, the first few tries it reverts to 800x600.

Anyone else having this issue or is it just me?
