Good day simmers!

 

I have a request for Matrox TripleHead2Go users...

My setup is 3x1920x1080@50Hz powered by GTX580. After some flying my displays goes black, after a blink of an eye I can see black picture with GMX logo on left (first) monitor. Then, I see my Windows desktop for a second, maybe two and black screen again. It keeps blikning for few minutes and everything goes back to normal. One can see the Th2Go unit green status LED also blinking during that time. Unit is directly attached to Motherboard USB port, alongside plenty controllers (stick, yoke, TIR, GF...).

Does any of You had similar issues? I think it could be power surge on USB, but Windows does not report such issue.

And of course it happen usually when on short final in FSX or when engaging enemy in dogfight in RoF. Any help would be highly appreciated.

have you tried updating to the latest firmware? available on the matrox site

Yes, I have the newest version (both firmware and PowerDesk) since the day one.

Power saving options on your USB ports? I have a TH2go with a GTX480 in use for 4 years now and never seen this

I'd make sure your resolution in FSX matches the resolution of the desktop. I think I recall having this issue early on and that was the cause.

Kand, I have turned off power saving for the port. I do not know, if it is thermal-related. After pausing the sim and going to the desktop, after few minutes it goes back to normal fortunately.

John, I have 3x1920x1080@50Hz set up which is a native resolution. I also usually use bezel management, but was unable to confirm if turning this off cures the case - will try that.

I know that Matrox recommends setting at 50 Hz, but some monitors don't like it.

 

Try setting it at 60(input59), mine runs well at that, but I reduced the resolution to 5040 x 1050 as I could not see any difference.
