im not sure what mix sizes the triple heads support-

the menu to hold these values is already unwieldy really

one of these displays is at 60hz, the other at 75Hz - and this is at 1024x768x 3
this causes problems-

and total confusion -

Wait that was the setup I was using , But that machine allow to use 6 x 1280x1024

your information here isnt showing this.

[emilianomorgia]

ok but it does

[samsc]

ok but it does

did you play any movies?

[emilianomorgia]

did you play any movies?

yes of course , at least 4 768x1024 Animation .

[samsc]

yes of course , at least 4 768x1024 Animation .

i know these things work as several shows have done this, keane did this 2 years ago

it doesnt work consistently across machines

you cant tell someone it will work unless they test it,
and the performance is also not constant.

[emilianomorgia]

on by the way the content was made at 768x1024 so it was useless to work @ 1280x1024 so I've switch back as you saw on the list.

And even on 1024 I had frame dropping ( hard one like 15fps )


Personally I wish to get down to 800x600 but the Graphic Designer prefer to use 1024 and animation even at 15fps ...
