i wasnt exactly sure where to post this. so feel free to move it to hardware or config or wherever it should be alex if its in the wrong spot. i just had a few questions about gaming with a 3 monitor setup if anyone uses one. do a lot of games have to be .ini edited to work on them. and ive noticed a few games that really stretch the side images a LOT (the left and right monitor) is there a better FoV setting to use or some way fix that ? any other tips or tricks running 3 monitors would be great too. thanks all

i started a thread on this a while back. basically from what people said just about every new game supports it. don't really think theres much else to it. but you need a lot of gpu power for it.

meh its cooperating a bit better after working out all the bugs so to speak. im sure ill be getting with  ya for some tweeks soon lol. ill get some pics taken and get em up here too. @maxyme ya the 2 way sli works pretty good. if you try to max everything and run it in 3D at 5760 x 1080 you will still be close to watching a slide show on the newer games though lol. but in normal 2d i run most just cause 2, metro 2033, battlefield 2 at close to max. might have to drop the AA down a little, go from Ultra high to High but most stuff runs pretty solid. with the new Nvidia cards coming im hoping to pick up 1 more 480 gtx once the price drops on em and ill let ya know how the 3 way works then
