I am trying to set up a rig on three screens (Left view, ahead view and right view). I have 2 graphics cards (Nvidia 6800XTs) and three 17" monitors.

What do I need to do? and do I need any "multi view" software?

Thanks for any help in advance

town,

Thanks for that info.

Do you know if ATI has released a "solution" for the triple head unit?  As far as I know.,...... ATI users are limited as to resoultuion choices to 640 for the vertical on that unit ..... until ATI does something with the driver situation.

For NVidea users however...... it is "good to go".

Are you using this?  CAn you talk about machine specs and frame rates?

best,

....................john

Hi John

Yes we have used the TPH2GO on a system we built for a customer, We used it with an Nvidia 6800 XT graphics card and there was no difference in framerates at all. All in all I think it is a great peice of kit and it was pretty much plug and play with minimal setup. When I can afford it I might have one for myself Grin

Regards

Gordon
