No HUD on Triple Head 2 Go

[tharding]

I have noticed with the same machine (except with a 9800) that even using The new Edge blending and widescreen overlap features that the graphics card is the bottle neck.

I have even had one card the overheats and I need to remove the card directly above it to keep it working.

After that experience I don't think I would even try the Matrox boxes on a machine/card that old.

The cards were great in their day but that day has passed.

Cheers

The Radeon 9800 is capable of doing 3072 x 768 but for graphics only. Then it's running as a movie playback device, it will only support up to 2400 x 600. It was my mistake running the box with a 9800. When I swopped cards, it worked the way I was hoping. There were still some inconsistencies but I think that the 9800 needs to go in the trash.

and catalyst has very large requirements for graphics and textures.
and for it to perform well.

there will be no difference in image between 3072x768 and 2400x600- something somewhere has to do the scaling - you dont get anymore detail by running the outputs at higher resolution.

i would like to suggest that you use these devices on pci-e machines, and not the older ones.

yes these new features definitely need newer machines with faster cards....
