Hey,

I recently installed an MSI Twin Frozr III GTX 680 into my system. I also added more fans. I got my monitors to work with Surround after many problems with some screens going randomly blank.

 

I booted up Flight Simulator X and tried a flight. In my FSX settings i set the resolution to 5760X1080 because this is the current NVIDIA Surround resolution. The flight loaded and I had a very enlarged, stretched, out of proportion, grainy Virtual Cockpit, outside, and 2D cockpit view. I tried other resolutions in FSX and it improved that issue but they still weren't perfect.

 

What should I do in NVIDIA control panel

What should I do in Windows Displays control panel

What should I do in FSX to get this solved

I know plenty of people run FSX in Surround perfect. What am I doing wrong?

It will kind of stretch , I am using a HD 7750 @3200x900 with two 20" Led Acer , the whole world looks bigger in it infact the cockpit looks large. Could you post a snapshot ?

 

I use Grouped Resoluton in CCC not sure what it would be in the Nvidia control panel.

 

Is WideScreen = True enabled in FSX.cfg ?

Well I booted up flight sim and its working perfect! I am so happy! I am still getting stretching a little. Here is a snapshot.

and i do have WideScreen=True in my CFG

 

here is a link

One last thing:

I'm noticing that the Surround technology is acting inconsistent. Sometimes, one of my monitors will go to sleep even though the graphics card is supposed to be outputting to it.

This happens sometimes at boot up and sometimes when I click Fly Now in FSX. Is anyone else experiencing this? And also sometimes when the flight first loads the image is enlarged and grainy and I have to exit flight and reload to return to normal resolution. Is this a program inconsistency or is there a fix for it?

Hmm sleep as in a blank screen ?

Yes the monitor will search for active signals in each port, it will scan for a long time on the DVI port because i have it hooked up through DVI and then it reads no signal and goes to sleep. But maybe there really is no signal. It could be the NVIDIA software bugging up.

I've found that the problem can be solved by shutting down and rebooting, but that is pretty annoying.

Any advice?

What is the monitor hertz ?

I had a similar issue on startup. Very annoying and random. What worked for me was a clean install of a WHQL Nvidia driver.

The monitor refresh rate is 60 Hertz.

 

What is the WHQL NVIDIA driver?
