Gtx560 looking to run wow on three 23" monitors at 5760x1080

How in the world do i do this? ive seen alot of info on the idea itself, but cant find any definitive answer on actually how to set this up. im completely lost with the idea. any info would be awesome

it's Americana..

Cowboys and Indians, cartoon when we were kids (Yosemite Sam) and other historic things like that..
(just a few of many reasons)

I recall Yosemite Sam but I don't remember him being shot in the knee with an arrow.

 

[Mousemonkey]

It's a Skyrim thing... "I'd like to be a moderator like you, but I'd get an arrow to the knee."

I surmise it's a variant of Achilles... anyway sorry OT.

That makes more sense even though I haven't seen the game.

I really meant that era of cartoon.
bugs bunny, roadrunner and coyote; have you seen all of those too.?

Oh yes.

Just a note, WoW handles 5760x1080 natively but ONLY in DirectX9 mode

 

[swartzsubaru]

directx 9 you say? i read that somewhere so i downloaded it. how do i get it to run in 9 instead of the 11 i have

 

[swartzsubaru]

i have no ideaq, but i did read somewhere that 9 runs the game 3 wide better than 11, if 11 does at all even

 

[swartzsubaru]

i dont even know how one would run 9 instead

3 Monitor setups will ONLY work under windows 7 and allegedly vista too. (2 monitors max under XP) 🙁

I'm using an ati hd6950 which runs WOW @ 60fps quite happily (however it covers a full 3 Motherboard slots) 🙁
(The 5040X1050 option will not appear in WOW's video options till your desktop resolution has been set to this res.
Remember also that 5040x1050 is only used for 16:10 monitors & not the newer 16:9!!!!!!!!!)

ATI
All 3 monitors have to be identical to use the bezel compensation. 🙁
you will also need an ACTIVE display port to Dvi adaptor (around £27) 🙁
I havent managed to get Full Screen using DX11 (only DX9) 🙁
I bought a Superb quality 3 monitor stand for <£100 from Novatach (nice people gave me free delivery)

hope this helps.

Not true. With my 2 gtx 570's my 3 monitor setup works fine with WOW, and I'm using a 1920x1080, a 1600x1200 and a 1280x1024.
