Hi,

I've just stumbled across display fusion after trying to use SoftTH for the past few months, it seems to kind of work across my monitors for FSX but Rail Simulator 3 running under steam does not want to know.

Will Display fusion allow me to run the games spread across both monitors do you know and if so how do I set it up to do it?

My monitor information is:

Display 1: 1920x1080
Display 2: 1680x1050

So under Soft TH I get: 3600x1080

Any ideas would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, DisplayFusion can't make full screen games or videos span multiple monitors, but windowed games should work (which is probably why FSX works).

Some newer video cards also have this capability built-in. AMD calls it Eyefinity, and NVidia calls it Nvidia Surround.

Hope that helps!

AFAIK both Eyefinity and nvSurround require all monitors to be running at the same resolution; which would result in a 3360x1050 effective resolution.

Ah ok, good to know. Sorry that DisplayFusion can't help! If we are able to add this functionality in the future, I'll be sure to post an update.

Thanks!

Good luck. When Eyfinity first came out an ATI Representative (IIRC the eyefinity project head) said that the related problem with a PLP setup* couldn't be supported due to hardware limitations. I don't recall if the problem was the different aspect rations in particular or different resolutions in general that weren't supported at the hardware level.

* Portrait Landscape Portrait, typically 1200x1600, 2560x1600, 1200x1600
