MA_Goblin Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi mates, As the title suggests I´m trying to figure out the most effective position of my screens. I have 2 monitors at the moment driven by my Ati 6870 crossfire setup. Primary monitor is 1980x1080 and secondary is 1600x1200. Currently they're set side by side with the 1920x1080 on the left. What would the consequences be if I put the secondary monitor below the primary? Will it be easier for the GC to render 1920x2280 instead of the present 3520x1200? The benefit of placing them vertically is that it´s easier to move the mouse from the Helios instruments and up to click in the cockpit than remember to drag the mouse left or right :) Any thoughts on this. My feeling is that it´s better vertically but I´ve been wrong before ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] _____________Semper paratus, In hoc signo vinces________________ PC: Intel i7-8700K (4.9 GHz), Aorus Ultra Gaming Z370 MB, Gigabyte RTX 3080, 32 GB DDR3 (3,2 GHz), Samsung EVO 860 M.2 500 GB SSD + Samsung 960 M.2 250 GB SSD Gaming: Virpil T-50 CM2, TM WH Throttle, Crosswind pedals, HP Reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG14_Smil Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) 1920x2280=4377600 3520x1200=4224000 It's better to go wide than stacked when setting up in Windows. It does not matter a bit where you want them in real life. ( I guess it matters to you as you don't want your mouse to jump, but the numbers don't lie. A smaller total pixel number is better). Please note I never touch the mouse after clicking "Fly", so I am biased. good luck! Edited January 28, 2013 by JG14_Smil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA_Goblin Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thank you, you´re right of course. I blame long work hours not to calculate that myself :music_whistling: :doh: However I think I´l make a profile for the vertical to test and there will be a couple of 8" LCD monitors connected via USB to VGA interfaces for MFCD´s in the near future as well.

JG14_Smil Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Helios profile stays the same, you just click on "Rest Monitors", then save. Your lua files may have to change a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA_Goblin Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thank you, did not think of the "reset monitor" option. Just have to correct the .lua then :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] _____________Semper paratus, In hoc signo vinces________________ PC: Intel i7-8700K (4.9 GHz), Aorus Ultra Gaming Z370 MB, Gigabyte RTX 3080, 32 GB DDR3 (3,2 GHz), Samsung EVO 860 M.2 500 GB SSD + Samsung 960 M.2 250 GB SSD Gaming: Virpil T-50 CM2, TM WH Throttle, Crosswind pedals, HP Reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
