Re: multi-display dilema 2x 8800GTs or TH2Go?

Thanks for your reply, Martini. I am not sure what your experience with FSX is but as you may know, FSX has some unusual charateristics. I have read that some older cards actually perform better than the newer ones for this particular game. Also, are you aware if the drivers have been improved for t...

Re: multi-display dilema 2x 8800GTs or TH2Go?

What would be a better card for my setup? Remember the sole purpose: FSX. Nvidia: GTX260, GTX280, 9800GX2 or ATI: 4870x2 For FSX, probably due to some driver issues that may have already been addressed, the ATI power horse 4870x2 may not be the fastest but will definitely help at a resolution of 504...

Re: multi-display dilema 2x 8800GTs or TH2Go?

Dan suggested that I get a crossfire set up with 2 x ATI GPUs. If I am not mistaken, according to most users and TomsHardware charts, Nvidia cards are much better than ATI for FSX. I have a 8800gt on an Asus P5Q pro MB. My PC is only 1 month old. I can consider selling my 8800gt for a crossfire ATI ...

Re: multi-display dilema 2x 8800GTs or TH2Go?

I am going to stick with the EVGA 8800gt with the TH2GO for now. The biggest I will go for is 3x 22" monitors. From what I have read from other FSX simmers, this set up should work reasonably well. I am looking at a combined resolution of 5040x1050 of which Nvidia seems to agree that the 8800gt...

Re: multi-display dilema 2x 8800GTs or TH2Go?

I think I will end up going with the Triplehead2go Digital version. Nvidia support confirms that Vista is no good for span display and even if I were to go with XP I would not be able to span more than 2 monitors. Check out the email I received from Nvidia customer care: Please be informed the Span ...

Re: multi-display dilema 2x 8800GTs or TH2Go?

Dan, thanks for your reply. It's the most complete one I have read to date. I will have to look into which ATI card is best for FSX in crossfire and evaluate if it's worth the investment. (tom's Hardware is pretty good with that). Then it's a matter of running on 57mhz and how easy it is to set that...

multi-display dilema 2x 8800GTs or TH2Go?

I have been searching everywhere for an straight answer to my question but nothing really affirmative has turned up. Here is my question: I am into flight simulation (FSX) and would like to set up a 3 monitor (22-24 inches) display to be viewed in both span mode or independent screen shots. Here is ...
