Nvidia Surround (2D) Noobie
Hello All,
So i finally took the plunge and picked up 3 24" monitors...However I'm having some trouble setting up my games to span across 3 monitors. So far the only ones I've tried are MW2, and Starcraft2. MW2 will recognize the 5760x1080 resolution however it's severely distorted to the point where its unplayable. SC2 on the other hand won't recognize anything, I've tried manipulating the "variables" text file but this didn't work for me either. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or a good reference for me? It's much appreciated in advance.

Also, what games currently support extra FOV (aka they're not totally distorted when using 3 monitors)?

Thanks for all replies in advance!

Starcraft 2 does not support Eyefinity or Surround, as not to give an unfair advantage.
For MW2 you need a programm called widescreen fixer. Google for it.

That's what I thought originally too, however how do you explain this?
