February 20, 200521 yr Hi, I have 3 Samsung Syncmaster Flat panel LCD/TFT 213T's. They usually operate at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 and are very sharp monitors. They are run presently from a Parhelia 256Mb Card with one digital and two analog outputs. This, of course, is in surround mode for using FS 2004. My problem is I don't get the quality of picture I'd like. The image is only 3840 x 1024 wide when I should really be getting 4800 x 1200. In general the picture quality is rather fuzzy. Running FS over 3 screens is wild and doing wargaming the same way is also very cool. However, I think I can do better for this system and was wondering here if anybody could recommend a graphics card which willrun my 3 monitors at their highest best resolution and with a good frame-rate with all the options turned up full on the Flight Simulater and running the photographic scenery packs of the UK - well England and Wales since Scotland and ireland have been left out.Thankyou for your advice in this matter anyone!Iain.H
February 20, 200521 yr AFAIK Iain the Parhelia is the only card that supports 3 monitors, to use something else would require an AGP card and a PCI card.I think you are asking a lot to have high resolution, good frame rate, all options up full and run 3 monitors :-erks Although I am not in that league IIRC running outside views of FS on multiple monitors pulls the frame rate down quite a bit, the FPS hit is not as great if 2 of the monitors are only displaying panels.I stand to be corrected by those using such an exotic display if the above is rubbish.
