Two display act as one display in 3840x1080 resolution?

[legendkiller]

Titles says it.

 

[getochkn]

Your title really does say anything. Are you asking if it can be done?

 

[bystander]

Yes, but only if you setup Eyefinity. It's generally not a good resolution, as it puts your bezels right down the middle of the screen.

And as far as I know that can only be done on AMD GPU's. From what I have read you can not enable Surround on two monitors with Nvidia GPU's. I have not tried and do not want/will not disconnect one of my monitors to find out.

That may change if it hasn't already. Nvidia had to add dual monitor support with surround for the 4K displays, which are often made up of 2 displays stitched together. Either way, it is a bad idea.

get a Galaxy GT610 and you can run double that. dual DMS59 outputs, each splits into a left+right DVI, each DVI runs at 1920x1080 so a L+R is 3840x1080.

except you have TWO DMS59 outputs. so the other one can be the same 3840x1080 and you can either put them side-by-side for a stupidly wide display, or stack one above the other for a 3840x2160 display.

the card costs around $60 on NewEgg. nVid chips. 1G memory. fine for 2D stuff.

Im ganna go with your solution, I tried finding dual DMS59 but most of them doesn't show how the connector looks. I needed a "DVI to dual DVI" but the pictures I see on some product are VGA to dual DVI.
BTW, Since you said "stupidity meaning this stretch the screen, like a game stretch across two monitor and it looks "wide"... If So I wont bother with it and probably go for a AMD video card in the near future...

Why don't you explain what you want to do. Is this for gaming? Is it for desktop applications?

A GT 610 is a horrible idea for gaming. If you just want to work at the desktop, any graphics card will work, though the GT610 is sold for this type of use.

to clarify my previous post:

if you just want TWO monitors side-by-side to run in 3840x1080 then i think any cheap card will work - and maybe even the on-board graphics can do it (maybe).

the GT610 is good if you want to run FOUR monitors, either in a 2x2 grid or as a 1x4 strip. i run it in a 2x2 grid, with another cheap old card running 2 additional monitors. and yes, it's good for 2D stuff, and crap for games. it's fine for watching movies as long as the video stays within the GT610's monitors (if i try to watch a movie spanning all 6 monitors, the frame rate sucks {i've tested it and it says 10fps} and it's choppy - but just barely watchable)

and what i meant by it being stupidly wide is that a 1x4 strip of monitors will look silly and totally unrealistic / unnatural to your eyes. you can do it if you want to, but i just can't see why.

I got a EVGA GTs 450 FPB and I got two monitor same exact model which came in as a bundle. I'm using it for gaming and movies, especially those movies that is more narrow than 1080p meaning there's a black bar on top and bottom.

I do not even know if Surround will support 2 screen surround. They did add 2 screen surround in the last month or 2 to support the new 4k monitors, but I do not know if it is exclusive to those monitors or not.

Until the 600 series, Nvidia has not allowed for surround on a single card.

You are going to have to upgrade to get what you want, and since I'm not sure on Nvidia, you are likely best off getting a new AMD card.

And do you really want to watch movies and play games with a big black bar going down the middle of the screen?

If you have an AMD card you can set up eyefinity which is pretty much exactly what you want

He just stated he has a GT 450.
