June 4, 201115 yr Hi Guys,I guess you all have come across with this topic (if yes, then I'm sorry) but I am just curious whether I can run my FSX with dual monitors. I have read a lot of stuff on the internet - all saying that you need matrox dualhead2go (for dual monitor pleasure:D). Is this true? Or is there any other way of running both monitos with FULL-SCREEN MODE. I have GeForce 8800GT which has 512 MB of memory.. I am also running 2 samsung syncmaster 2232BW 21'' monitors. I want to let you know that apart from FSx my screens are woking fine in Windows 7. In just FSX that's causing the problem.This is an example of what I'm looking for:http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhnO2lU2xb4&feature=related"'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhnO2lU2xb4&feature=relatedAny help would be very nice and appreciated!Many thanksLukasz Swiatkiewicz
June 4, 201115 yr There is a way, but I doubt that your card will habdle the resolution.You will have to run FSX windowed. I know, that is not what you are looking for, but: Google for a program called FS-Simtimizer. This program will remove all borders and headers from the FSX window, so when you maximize FSX by hitting ALT-ENTER, it will look like full screen although it isn't :-).I use the program even with my dualhead, because it gives me some additional frames compared to real fullscreen.

Anyway I'b building a new system soon (very soon in fact) and I'm considering the EVGA GTX 580 SC. Would I be able to run fsx easily with dual monitors? Or would i have to donwload some additional software or the matrox hardware?
