Hello,
I can't get the mode to go to 5040 x 1024 as I had it in windows 7. I have to use a lower resolution on my 3 monitors that skews the display.

Same problem here. I checked if there was an updated Windows 8 drive on Matroxs website and there isnt.

Yesterday 10/29/12 Matrox tech came into my PC remotely, but couldn't fix the problem. He said to give them some time to develop a fix for it.

I have an nVidia 560TI (2 of them actually), and I fixed this by "re"creating a "custom resolution". I am one of those people who had to do this in Windows 7, as well, because my monitors would not display in 5040 x 1024 without a custom resolution.

If you don't know what I am talking about, go to...

Thanks for the link. The Matrox guy tried a lot of combinations remotely on my machine, and I just got through tinkering with no luck. I'll keep at it, and maybe I'll hit the luck numbers.

There's new software to download on Matrox site for windows 8. It doesn't quite work, but it allows a custom resolution change in the Nvidia control panel, and you can set the resolution in windows now.
