Dual Monitor Setup

[Popavich]

This might be a total n00b question, but how can I set Borderlands 2 to use both of my monitors?

I have 2 monitors, each with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, but that's also the highest I can set the game resolution to, so I can only get it to use a single monitor at a time.

Am I missing something obvious?

Cheers

Are you using an AMD or Nvidia GPU?

Nvidia - GTX 1060

Borderlands should normally work with multi-monitor systems out of the box.

I got it working this morning by enabling Surround in the Nvidia control panel to make both displays behave as one.

The downside is that the bezels are right where the cross-hairs are, which makes it difficult to play. Workaround for this is to make the game run in window mode on a slightly smaller than full resolution so the cross-hairs are off centre. Still not great though.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how I might improve this? Is it possible for instance, to make the focus off-centre slightly?

Not very many games have proper dual monitor support, especially not in shooters. I know The Division has that support where you can choose which one is your main and the other is just extra on one side but as far as I know, borderlands 2 doesn't have that.

Thanks for the reply Fr00t_L00ps. Not exactly what I was hoping to hear, but not surprising either. Have to see what I can get used to...

There should be plenty of youtube videos about removing monitor bezels.
