I have been running FS2004 on an ancient DELL XPS-4 for 5 years now very happily with three DELL LCDs (1x24" Ultrasharp and 2x20.1" 4:3 ratio screens) and a Triplehead2Go. If I now buy a new gen PC, say, an i2600K with nVidia GTX 580 or 590 card, can I continue to use Triplehead2Go and run all three screens? I think the max res under my TH2G is 3840x1024. Or should I be thinking about a completely different video/visual arrangement by now? What would work best with FSX for multi-screen or an amazing resolution on a biggish screen? Appreciate any advice, thanks! JS

Hi JS Personally I would go for a new solution. I abandonned my analogue TH2GO for three 24 inch monitors and dual GTX 580's. Gives me the option to run in portrait mode at 3600 x 1980 or 5760 x 1200. If you have the digital TH2GO i believe it supports resolutions up to 5760 x 1024 (no 1200) but not in portrait mode. You could use that with a single GTX580 - maybe the 3Gb version would be best and buy new monitors. I think the 590 can run three monitors directly. 3Gb version available. Not sure if it will allow 5760 x 1200 though. The HP 30 and Dell 30 inch monitors are available. Less pixels and area than the three screen approach and only 400 pixels higher than a 1200 monitor which is the reason I went for the portrait/landscape option with three monitors instead.

I have almost the same config as you and have no problems running 3840x1024 with a 3Gb GTX 580.Until now it wasn't necessary to overclock, but I haven't installed all my add ons yet.

I just updated my TH2G to the digital version and acquired 3 16 x 9 monitors. Got all three to work but only at 3840 x 1024 resolution. What is it I need to do to up the ante to get 5760 or thereabouts resolution? I've installed the monitor software as well as the TH2G software but apparently I'm missing something. Thanks in advance.

OK, I spoke with Matrox about the TH2Go and was told the high resolution was a result of a specific DVI cable requirement. Unfortunately, New Egg did not include that particular cable when it was shipped so I'm fighting that battle now. Matrox also told me that with that cable either the Digital unit or the DP unit will provide the 5760x1024 I am seeking so the battle continues is search of proper cable.

Surely you guys mean x1080 when you say x1024?

To get the high resolution you must download the Firmware update from Matrox, Ron.

I called Matrox and was told I needed a specific 2 foot DVI cable to run from computer to TH2Go in order to get the full 5760x1080. It's ordered and should arrive Wednesday the 25th. Will advise results.

Got cable installed but nothing. After a one hour call to Matrox support and a patient tech, I got the 5760x1080 working now including FSX. I'm a happy camper except it does cripple frame rates in some cases. That's the story of computers. Upgrade this and it leads to upgrading that.
