Setting up surround?

Shd0w2 · March 23, 2014

Does anyone have a video tutorial for me to go along with for setting up surround? I specifically wanted to play WOT on 3 1680*1050 monitors, making it 5040*3150.

quite simple using the graphical program for AMD or Nvidia, surround on Nvidia and eyefinity on AMD i think, some next buttons and things and its done, you have one massive monitor

I heard that if you do it simply like that, it can result when playing a game making it only expand the single monitor looks, not giving you more FOV

yep, 3x monitor surround, the FoV is game settings and the game decides what FoV you can have, which tend to be sickly low due to consoles...

Its really easy,under the 3d settings tab, click Configure Surround/Physx, then there is a box with span displays in Surround, check the box and hit configure. You might have to close some programs. For me I have to close Chrome and my logitech software for my mouse. But once you hit config just make sure it sees the proper displays then just follow the steps. You don't have to make a custom res if you dont want (I don't), but if you think it will be better, go for it, just make sure all the displays you want in surround are actually in surround and then go into a supported game and make sure it is working.

Also, download Flawless Widescreen, that has fixes for games that have issues with surround.

Edit: With the FOV thing you are talking about, that only happens in curtain games that do not have good or any surround support, like CoD or Chiv I know mess up. But there are fixes for some games in the Flawless widescreen program.
