nVidia 7950 + Matrox TrippleHead2Go. Anyone?

Postby neu » Sat Dec 22, 2007 9:30 am

Hi there,

I'm seriously thinking about a matrox th2g to drive 3 displays, but I'm not sure if the nVidia 7950 is enough for that. FS2004 runs nicely, but I assume I have to devide the FPS with about 3 for the 3 displays.

Is anyone out there having any experience with this config?

Greetings, neu

The system sees the Matrox as one display, the Matrox itself does all the work of dividing the screens, which is why you are paying so much extra for it. So you are not going to be seeing any frame dips.

Just know that over the years the THG has had problems with various video card drivers. Something a software update or a driver update could have fixed. I will say though its ment to be just plug and play, its really not. You do have to know a bit about how to manipulate your card drivers to play nicely with it.
