Hi EP! Long time no see. Lurking?
Did you mean the web page or the triple monitor setup?
Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

Everything

Use dual at home (triple if I go for the tv as well!), but have yet to run the aquarium on it, wonder how that will cope... as I don't tend to use it as a stretched display

...if you have a single card that can power 3 displays in span mode by itself... *grumble*

No, I don't think you can, I'm 99% sure that even with SLI you're limited to two seperate horizantal spans, to cross all four monitors.

A screen shot would go a long way towards crossing that void between theory and practice.

Your link starts with http://feldoncentral.com/...
The rest of us are using https://www.feldoncentral.com/...

Wonder if there is a directive I can use to fix it.

Ok in a sense you got me. SLI can only infact use one display, something I only discovered after getting it all setup, so I actually only ever used 1 card most of the time, now I have switched to using the primary output on both graphics cards, makes me feel I am wasting less money a little. There is a new change in the Rel80 drivers which allows SLI switching on and off without a reboot which is great.

The way I am currently running things is displays 1 and 2, and then display 3 is a clone of display 1, very effective:



Apologies for the graphic images ;D but I really need to redecorate and that would involve moving alot of gear out of that room, something I just don't have time for!

I can also have the plasma act as an additional display of course, all running at the non-native resoltion of 1280x1024, if I had a fourth or even room for a fourth I could add another display. So currently I have a desktop resolution of 3840x1280 I could if I got anotehr display ideally go for 5120x1024 (which would be nuts)

I really don't know what I would do without my second desktop, or the display of my desktop on the secondary monitor to be more exact.

I use Zoom Player from www.inmatrix.com and its quite interesting to be able to drag something from my desktop and throw it up on to my plasma, using the nvidia purevideo decoders, the visual quality is quite superb.

To move vaguly back on topic, I lost my licence to the Aquarium, changed my email, credit card and address, so will be buying a new copy tonight - just seems easier and will see how many displays I can get it up on

The widescreen version was merged with the standard eventually wasn't it? I don't think I have the standalone widescreen version anymore! Might even get the logo version so I can pimp OSNN a bit in there

It was merged into the regular version, but I think the logo version is still 4:3 (so don't get that one ).

Purchased, only had it running on the one monitor last night as I prefer the multiple monitors method, where your taskbar only appears on the primary display, I guess in order to get this on three screens I would have to enable the mode where the start bar goes right across?

Will try and give it a go tonight
Busy man at the moment tho

Marine Aquarium 2 MD (Multi-Display) works on multiple independant monitors. You may need to press the SPACE bar to bring up Settings and make sure each display is not set to [X] Blank. In my opinion, MA2MD should ask at startup on the first time

You seem to have more than one display connected to your computer.

Nice graphics and nice hardware! You need apologize for nothing. Here is a photo I took a few years ago when somebody tried to tell me that it was not possible to have five monitors running at once

Warning. Monitors may seem closer than they appear

Don't remember seeing that setting, might be because its an NVIDIA setting that might be tricking windows, but I will double check.

Matrox has an interesting gizmo for multi-monitor use – perhaps you two could couple a couple of these with your SLI setups?

This thread is out of control with the variety of tpics in it. I notice that the main board is pretty empty of new topics, it seems that that's mostly due to the fact that this one thread seems to have taken over for the whole main board.
