Good day simmers. What kind of card do I need to setup 3 monitors for FSX/FS9? Any input would help.Corrie

Corrie,As most cards come with 2 outputs you'll either have to invest in 2 graphcs card or use a Matrox TripleHead2Go. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/products/th2go/Your graphics card needs to be matched to the rest of your system so you'll need to post the rest of your system specification before anyone can give you a sensible recommendation.regardsJim

Hello,I have 3 monitors, look at my signature.

Corrie, I use the Matrox Triplehead2go system and highly recommend it. FSX looks good in DX9 or DX10 mode spread across 3 displays. Steve

Hi Corrie- For what it's worth, I'm running FS9 on triple monitors with triple views LFwd,Fwd,RFwd giving me a 180

I've been looking at Triplehead2go, how does it look in VC?

What are your specs? Do you use FS9 or X? If FSX, do you see a fps drop with the forth monitor?I tried using a fourth monitor for gauges in FSX. I found my frame rate plummeted to the usability range (3-5 fps.BTW - To the question about VC TH2Go is great with VC. If you add the IR-Track, you are in simmer's heaven.

Another TH2Go setup with a fourth monitor for gauges...http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1039/146985...c207a2512_o.jpg

Autogen is turned down to zero as is AI. It has specific airfields modelled (grass strips) with accurate Hangars, buildings and Tree locations. FPS do not fall below 30 on either FS9 or FSX.RegardsJim

I want to know what TH2G looks like in Windows. Spanned mode on a dual monitor is painful enough, as you have to size each window to fit one monitor. I imagine having to do this for three monitors is just as much, if not more of a chore.Gary

Dave- I don't use TH2GO- just 3 video cards with 3 separate 2D synchronized views. Jim Cooper's pic however, shows TH & VC nicely. As far as I know, you can't get a screenshot showing triple mons in TH2GO- since there really is only one 90

Never mind. You fellas just talking me into hitting the order button on 4 x 19" LCDs and a TH2G digital edition. At last there will be a bit of a graphics load on my 8800!Gary

Just bought a Vista upgrade too. I am holding short on Acceleration though until it returns to the $17 CC price it was at release.Gary

Hey Jim Cooper and Magic Man- looks like we just got ourselves another convert!!!!! Welcome to Wide Horizon Gary! Alex Reid PMDG 747- Dawn @ final descent for CYYJ R27http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/179751.jpg
