Multiple Monitors: What is the best configuration for 4 or 5 monitors?

[walker450]

I have read through many many posts.... and have decided to start yet another on the topic.

 

I have been successfully running 3 monitors for a while now. See my simpit link for a description. Now I would like to add two more, a left and right for the main view. I was able to get it working with a total of 4 monitors (3 views, one abris), but the framerate was unplayable.

 

My system:

 

Win 7 64

dual GTX 280s (total of 4 DVI-outs)

 

My question is this:

 

With my system, what would be the best way to run a main view of approx 4160x1024 across 3 monitors, and an additional 768x1024 for the abris??

 

Do I need to invest in a TH2go? Or setup Soft TH?

 

Thanks for any advice!!

After much more reading, it looks like the new version of SoftTH might work best for me. The new version 2.0 requires Win7, so I will have to upgrade from Vista first. I've been outing the transition off, but a fresh install of everything is pobably a good thing. :)

 

I'll update once I try another configuration.
