Some help, please.

 

Are games able to be played on two monitors, or is this something developers do not do in the creation of their games?  I kinda recall reading last year that games use 1 or 3 monitors, but not two.  Yea or Nae?

 

I'm not talking about using the 2nd monitor to just look at menu-like windows, but like for simulators (car, flight, space), as well as shooter type?

Thanks for your answers.

Yes, but you will have to deal with the separation in the middle, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Well you can probably modify it to work, but they never make them meant for that because the middle of the screen would be a bezel, really stupid for a shooter where you need precise aim.

Not worth it.

Thanks so much, guys.  That all makes sense.  Seeing that demo above with the bezel in the middle - I had not even thought about that.  So it can be done, but advised against.

Appreciate you guys.  Thanks.

There are some games that can be played on two monitors but they are few and far between.

ul need 3 monitors and go surround mode for that

 

No you don't. That said, it's not a great experience having the bezel right in the middle.

You don't need it, it's just desirable. Nvidia Surround definitely supports 2 monitors.

 

It's not like you can't get monitors with extremely thin bezels.
