Post your expensive multi-screen gaming setups

uh, congrats on playing with an unnecessary and completely unnatural field of view.

Werd, or run it on all 3

Now that, is epic. I need to get myself more monitors now, since my SupCom needs to be at it's most Epic.

If I had three monitors and two video cards, I'd actually play some games like this. Looks hella cool.

I always thought the only games that really should have multimonitor setups is the RTS and MMO. Both of these games have 2 big things that set them apart from others: in-game windows. With some games, there's so much shit to manage that only an 1/8th of the screen is actually the game. Because of this, having a second or third monitor is beneficial if you actually want a good view of the action. Other than that, it feels awfully unnatural. I know it's an FOV thing, but I just can't stand the geometric stretching done on the far left and right of the view (especially in FPS games).

E- Just noticed with the SupCom screenie that the stretching doesn't occur on the ends. This is what I would prefer when using multimonitor setups, rather than having, say, a pole on the right side of my screen look like a wall.

Supcom's FOV didn't change, thats why. It's multi-monitor feature is more useful imo

What?

The the human field of view, or vision span, averages between 120 and 140 degrees. The peripheral vision can go as far as almost 180 degrees. Many sources say different things, but they all fall within a range. The FoV of these games is 130 degrees.

I'd have a setup like this if it weren't for the following:

Not enough space
Just threw out old monitor
All monitors I use are CRT's (Though great for high resolutions like 1980x1440)
I don't know if 3 will work with my integrated gfx card, alongside my hd4870
Not enough $
Lazy

That's the human field of view, seen through spherical eyeballs, not flat computer monitors. It looks ridiculous IMO, but if it makes you happy go for it I guess.

That looks nice, to bad my 8600gt probably wouldn't be able to play super-high res and get more than 5-10 fps.

[Lateksi]

This would be nice, too
