Triple monitor support?

[Hm4n]

I'm on the fence about getting this game because it looks so beautiful and I want to enjoy it all my triple monitor 5910 x 1080 resolution. Feedback?!

Although the topic is old, since no one answered:
no the game doe neither support multiple monitors, nor monitors with other than some standard resolutions. Maximum is 1920x1080.
You can run the game in a window on one monitor. In fullscreen, the game is streched out on all three monitors, and the UI is unresponsive.

Kinda lame to support Oculus but being unable to detect and use screen resolutions from attached monitors

Yes, the game is early access, but the screen resolution is something basic, one of the few things that just need to work very early. Imho even before adding Oculus support.

Unfortunately, it doesn't support ultra-wide resolutions currently. I too have a triple monitor setup and would love to run it in full ultra-wide screen.

Hopefully the devs add support for that down the road.

Oke just out curiosity,
why the hell do you need triple monitors?
I mean tell me the purpose or benefits.
1 monitor a game
1 monitor a movie
1 monitor a chat or so

For gaming, it increases the field of view in which you are viewing the game. As a result, you see more of the game in your peripheral vision and it makes for a more immersive experience. It's the next best thing to full VR.

For regular windows usage, a lot of applications can use more than one monitor. I do it all the time with music software, Photoshop, Visual Studio, etc. It makes things much easier to use with more screen real estate available.

Oke thanks didn't know that with increasing the field of view.
Thats kinda cool i think.
So i wish now that i never asked though haha

Yes, increased field of view, games like Skyrim or GTA 5 look fantastic.
But yes, it comes with a very high graphics load, so a good graphics card or SLI is recommended. I'm going with both, running two Titans in SLI.

From what i've seen yet, this game looks fantastic . I really want to see it now in full 5760x1080...
Oh, and yes, for some games, I really have a browser open on one monitor while playing in the middle. Like now.

[JarJar]

cool
though i hope not 2 titan x
its a pain for someone's wallet haha

5760x1080 is amazingly immersive, utterly beautiful. But unfortunately the game hasn't been designed will because it cuts off some of the interface. Would be so great if that could be worked on...

I don't know how anyone can stand to only have one monitor anymore, it's like trying to drive a car with your head in a box with a tiny window in the front. Would you fly an airplane if you could only see out of a single 24" window? Using a triple montior setup is like going from a single porthole to an airplane cockpit panorama, you can see so much more and you feel so much more immersed. In Doom 4 on a 5760x1080 setup the guns are nearly lifesized, instead of just 4" in the middle of the screen. And as for regular computing, why don't you settle for a 13" 640x480 monitor? Because screen real estate matters, and having more of it allows you to actually have all your tools and windows visable at once, and still be able to access items on your desktop or in other programs.


All that said, I can't currently play this game because it's stuck in 5760x1080 mode and I can't even see the options dialogue to try to change it back. Why would you make a game this good looking if you don't allow people to play it on large screens? FIX YOUR INTERFACE DEVS!!!

Does your head have panoramic eyes? No it does not. So neither does the game character.

Don't be a dumbass, most people can recognize near or above 200 degrees, humans are evolved to excell in a panoramic landscape. Your eyes do in fact register a 'panoramic' landscape even if most of it in not in focus.

Awesome idea! This game would be a perfect fit for three screens!

XD i dont get this concept of triple screen gaming. I mean, doesnt the black borders bother you?

[Sheex]

You mean between the monitors? No, after a short while, you don't notice them anymore.
It's like wearing glasses.
