bloomstomb Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Ok i have 3x 24inch monitors, 3x gtx280s. I also have nother 3x 22 inch chimeis which I dont want to use. But what would be the best setup in your guys opinion? In other words what would you do ? Oh and windows7 64bit.
ScEBlack1 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 "In other words what would you do ?" sell all 3 and buy a Samsung 46 inch HI-DEF for your monitor and prepare to be amazed, like your in the cockpit it's so big. Sorry my 2 cents. I suppose turn them into TH2GO with 3 monitors.
bloomstomb Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 No not the answer I was looking for :) I guess what Im trying to find out is people with the setup already. I dont want to hook up the th2go. The game itself looks like it has the capability to run 3 monitors by itself, but when I chose those big resolutions, it simply gets really choppy and impossible to play. BTW when I play the game in sli, it runs fast but looks like shit. Known issue?

Hook your Center 24 and either your Left or Right 24 up to the Primary or Top GTX 280 Hook the remaining 24 up to the Secondary Card. Open up the NVidia Control Panel, Configure SLI Select the center 24 inch monitor to be the "focus" display. Go into your 3D game settings for DCS A10 and select under SLI Rendering Mode: Alternate Frame Rendering 2 You will get a second non accelerated monitor available to run Teamspeak or Ventrillo. Your 3rd 24inch attached to the 2nd GTX 280 will be blank. P.S. Edit: You can try running Tri SLI, but I have no experience with it, so I kept my advice to what I know.

bloomstomb Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 Ok just a follow up on this. Will I get better performance with th2go over just setting my resolution ingame? I would like not to deal with the th2go if possible. Ive hooked it up in the past, but it didnt impress me all that much. Id rather just have the game playing in the center screen, and be able to look at map or radar on left and right screens. I am able to do this now, but as soon as I select MFCD for example, the game runs like absolute crap and choppy slow. Anyway yeah, how much more performance boost will I get off th2go? Thanks again.

Strange that it wasnt coming off or unseated in anyway to begin with but still its fixed. Thanks for the response. I will try those settings out anyway. TY. The last question still remains. Will I get a much better performance with th2go? Seems like theres no need for it since the game already allows you to use 3 monitors.
walker450 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I recommend SoftTH. I have dual 280s and 2 19" and one 23". My center monitor is hooked to the first port on the main card, the left monitor to the second port on main card, and third to the second card. I use it in BS and FC2 but I dont have a10C but it should work the same. A video of my setup in BS: Here is a good thread on how to setup everything: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=39577 Good luck!
