Madman777 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hello, In a couple months I will have some spending money and I was thinking of instead of going for the TH Warthog, I would go for a triple monitor setup. Would 3x24" monitors with Matrox T2G-D3D-IF TripleHead2Go Digital Edition work well together for DCS BS and DCS A-10C? I know I would probably need a nice vid card to support this. So I was thinking about eVGA Video Card 03G-P3-1598-AR GTX590 DDR5 3072MB PCIE 2.0 ? Assuming I have the above...would I able to use them horizontally and vertically? Or just horizontally? Thanks :-) i7-12700k, 32GB Ram, RTX 3060 12GB, TrackIR 5, Lots of SSD Space, etc etc DCS World - All the cool modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genbrien Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 why dont buy an AMD card, like a 6990, you'll save on the THtG ?

Hmmm, if it's similar in performance...and cheaper I would consider that.

RSharpe Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 You won't need THtG if you get a a 6xxx series AMD card(s), the Nvidia 590, or 5xx SLIed to run a triple monitor setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHawthorne Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) A GTX590 is capable of doing triple-display gaming on it's own. Just plug in one display per DVI port and configure the NVIDIA Surround in the control panel. A GTX590 has 2 GPUs on the same card in SLI mode. Yes, SLI mode is required for NVIDIA Surround, but the GTX590 is one of the few single card NVIDIA Surround solutions by NVIDIA available. No need for a Matrox TH2G or an AMD 6990 if your preference is NVIDIA. Re: LLL, PPP, or PLP configurations. Only SoftTH can do nonsymmetrical display setups. NVIDIA Surround and AMD Eyefinity both require the displays to be symmetrical same resolution. The only reason why Matrox TH2G came into existance is neither AMD nor NVIDIA previously would support multidisplay gaming. Multidisplay gaming for both manufacturers have only been implemented at the driver level in the last year. The TH2G existed to fill a need that is no longer there because both AMD and NVIDIA both now have their own options. There are some configurations where a TH2G might be preferable to AMD Eyefintiy or NVIDIA Surround, but for the most part the TH2G is depreciated goods.

BHawthorne Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Ati 5870 Eyefinity 6 card 2GB Memory and six screens, need 1 (ACTIVE) Display Port adapter..2 if all six are used..Great card though!!!! Incorrect, needs 1 active adapter for 3x1L, 3 active adapters for 5x1P and 4 active adapters for 3x2L. 3x2L is a horrid configuration though. I personally only suggest 3x1L or 5x1P for LCD use. I do agree it being a great card. It was a revolutionary card for port out capability. If I had the money I'd swap for a 6990 though because of the improved architecture. For now my 5870 E6 Crossfire setup does just fine though. Edited April 20, 2011 by BHawthorne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckinds Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I just bought a AMD Radon 6750 card. It's running three monitors. Do I need to buy TripleHead before I can see my game spread accross three screens or is there a way todo this with just the card I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
