telejunky 0 Posted March 31, 2009 hello folks, is there a possibility to use two monitors in Armed Assault? I have orderd a new 16:10 tft display but i will try to use my actual 17 inch display as a second monitor for some time. As far as i can see there is only the option of using normal tft (4:3,16:10...)and triple monitor system with an aspect ration of 12:3. But what about if you only have two monitors, i don't speek about using the triple-monitor-setting aspect ratio on two monitors, but more something like just deleting the third one. So you don't have to buy a matrox triplehead 2 go and a third monitor Next thing: Is it possible (or even in triple head to go?) to run the secondary monitor(s) in a low resolution like 800x600? I think if you are only looking straight, your view is only sharpened to your front monitor but it is immersive to see the same colors and some movements at the side without focusing on it. So if you won't look aside the eye could be tricked with a low resolution I hope i could explain what i mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjph 0 Posted April 1, 2009 Hi Have a look at SoftTH from Kegety - link here http://www.kegetys.net/SoftTH/ Afraid I'm just a single head user so I'm not 100% sure 2 screens are supported, but I know the software allows various montior resolutions. It also needs a second graphics card (not SLi or Crossfire, just a slave card which can be relatively lower spec). Hope it helps. cjph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
telejunky 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Hi thanks I looked at my specs at saw, that there is also a onboard VGA Output so i couldattach 3 monitors (2 to my ati 4850 and one to onboard 3100). So the first time he is using the secondary graphicscard to be just an adapter. But at the middle of this article he mentioned that he is using some kind of sli? while the secondary card only renders the left monitor. Indeed great idea But i don't think it works with low resolution on the outer monitors...i give it a try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

telejunky 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah i found it: "settings can still be used to force the secondary screens to a lower resolution, proper aspect ratio is maintained so the resolution does not need to match the display aspect ratio." So this cans save much performance while the main(front) monitor stays sharp @ Phillip yeah this is the first time i heard this. Thanks god i was buying a board with an onboard vga adapter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
