ease Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) I have 5 screens mounted like in the image below. The three screens in the middle are attached to two GTX470 that can either be run in nvidia surround or as individual displays. The top and bottom screens are attached to a Geforce 210. I've tried many different variations of having things attached, either in surround or not in surround and have tried every monitor being set as the main display. I've never been able to get an image to occupy all 5 screens, I think the most I had was 4, and it was very broken and I get a blue bar across the top of the game. Most of the time when the game starts, the FPS goes down to .5 or something ridiculous. Anyone have any clue what I'm doing wrong or any insight on if this setup is even possible?

GregP Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Your SoftTH Config file looks correct to me. What I can't remember right now is what limitations Nvidia cards have compared to AMD cards with regards to running multi-display configs like this. I recall that I thoroughly looked into all this a few years ago when I was developing my own 4-screen T-shaped setup, and I remember realizing that for some reason I could not do it with Nvidia cards. As usual I guess we'll need our resident guru PeterP to drop in and enlighten us. :)
