I dont see anything for it in the options

You using Nvidia or AMD for video?

[arjensmit79]

Nvidia (1080)

First, all monitors must be the same resolution.

Open Nvidia Control Panel
Go to "Configure Surround, PhysiX
Click "Span Displays with Surround
Hit Configure.
Under Topology choose 1x3
Check them off in order from left to right - make sure they align. Sometimes you need to change them - for example mine are 2, 3, 1

Hit Apply.

When in the game choose 5760x1080 res or w/e your triple wide screens are.

Thanx, that works, but i am not so sure if i like this. All the info is way too far away now.

I suppose there isn't an option to move the player bars and my own hitpoints to just besides the screen ?

I also dont really like how it is not only for WoWs, but for everything.

I use it with select games. Usually I don't use it though. Not all games support it and you can't move your info in wows because wows doesn't support it. I'm kinda surprised they haven't figured out how to disable it since it's kind of a big advantage imo.

Well i guess it could be an advantage if you could indeed adjust and move all the UI.
As it is i doubt its really an advantage. Of course you'd have to do 100 games to get used to it to really judge, but i have already reverted the settings back to 1 screen. Basically the only thing i wanted was to have the minimap at super size just to the right off of my screen. Now thats the only thing that actually was possible, the rest was totally Fed.

And yes, the surround view is kinda cool it was like the front seat in the cinema, but not really needed.

The advantage is seeing most of the battle map without having to move anything but your eyes. Makes situational awareness easier is all.

Ye but that doesnt work nearly as well as watching the mini map for me. The minimap overview shows not only what i have in line of sight but also what others spot and the line of sight between other allies and enemies. So much, much better info. Also by moving your eyes. Thats why i don't think the wide view adds that much. On my good days i am mostly watching the minimap anyway and the mainview is only really for aiming. (on my bad days i get tunnelvisioned in the mainview and forget about the minimap)

That's fair. It's probably just what you're used to.

Back in old CV days it was wide enough all you had to was scroll up an down to see the whole map.
