Hello everyone.

I finally bought three 19'' screens to get my GTX 460 sli setup fully working, and i found something odd. The theoretical center display is displaced to the sides about 5 cm (2 inches), so the rest of the render. I'll post some pics to explain myself better:







(Ok, the pics were taken with a potato, don't grab the forks)

¿Anyone can help me to sort this out by any means? The resolution of each monitor is 1280X1024. They are 5:4 monitors.

I would suggest you turn on bezel correction (in the nvidia control panel, then select the corrected resolution in the mwo options tab) but that would only hide half of what you want to see. Are you sure you're running the correct aspect ratio?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I've been playing with the bezels and the resolution. no results (no satisfactory results i mean)

Well, i don't know. I'm using the native resolution for this proportions (5:4->1280X1024), but it looks like the pc thinks i'm using a 16:9 in the middle... And i don't know how to change that!

I've been wandering though the Nvidia control panel, and when the Sli is enabled, it doesn't allow me to change the scaling method. It's on "Fullscreen" by default, so i check "Aspect ratio", but when i click "Apply" it goes back to "Fullscreen". Same happens if i select "GPU" at "Scale with". it's set on "Screen", i try to swap it, and it goes back to "Screen" all the time... It's getting my nerves

Greetings,

I also run three monitors set to a resolution of 5760 x 1080. I have enabled the nvidia "surround" settings.
http://www.57th.net/...648#pid=1536138

found under the "configure SLI, Surround, PhysX" tab. After selecting the "Span displays with surround" button select the "Configure" button. From there you will see a new page where you drag the Numbered monitors to the same order you are looking at. From there select "correct bezel settings", and a little window will appear between the left and center monitor, adjust the up/down arrows till the (shown roadway) line "line up" [create a straight line between the monitors as if there was no bezel]. and when your done select that resolution and "hello to straight edges between all your monitors.
What ends on the left monitor starts on the center view where it should.\

Ps: you need 2 cards in SLI for this to work. (same model cards) and 3 monitors all of same default relsolution. But I read that is what you have. So need to enable the "surround settings".

I think your resolution is set too narrow, as with my monitors the controls are all in the middle monitor till i zoom in. The last image is zoomed in once. These are three 21 inch monitors.(could not get back far enough to get a full picture - wall in way)

And as a note I have my center monitor pulled in front of the two side monitors so the center bezel overlaps the two side ones.(so now I only have one bezel set to correct,but requires positioning of sides correctly)

Good luck.

Already!

The resolution is the one Surround gives. It defaults every game to the resolution you pick on your settings (in my case 1280X3X1024= 3840X1024). The displays works as intended in your case because you're using 16:9 monitors. The image displayed in my central screen looks like it's made for a 16:9, but running in the surface i have (it's 5:4 as i said before)

I do the very same trick when i'm on a sim. It's a nice idea, tho i'm thinking about stripping all the plastic and making my own stand for the monitors. The "Real" bezel (the aluminium one under the plastic cover, which holds the display) is almost half of what we see.

Greetings again,

see this site for the settings to configure the bezel, it may still be the wrong resolution you have for your set up.

http://www.geforce.c...leteProcess.png

I don't see a great difference on the alignment of your current settings, just way too much space between the two monitors screens. Try pulling the center one in front of the sides (as you have said you sometimes do) and then readjust the setting using that link as your guide. [you may have to go to a narrower resolution to get the cockpit items to align correctly. (although you should not really have to with the right settings)

Good luck, again.

Already told i've been messin' around with the bezels and the resolutions. Btw, i'll post a picture of the result just so you know i tried :






I know you're trying to help me, and i really appreciate it, but i know how to do it, i've done it, and it's not solving it, so we'll have to look for another idea

The bezel on the right hand monitor appears to be off slightly, as the entire image appears to be higher than the other two monitors.
If you hide the edge of the right hand monitor behind the middle monitor, you can see the image is too high on that right hand side.

That's because of the angle when taking the picture.

The problem is the image drawn by the GPU is bigger (Wider) than the monitor, but the selected resolution matches the aspect ratio of the screens, so the image is wrongly resized.

Greetings,

Just a note, I had said the resolution was at 5760 x 1080. Sorry that was my default desktop for the 3 monitors. Just checked the in game settings and they are at 3840 x 720 in fullscreen mode. And I have the user.cfg line cockpit field of view set to "cl_fov = 75"

So narrowing your game screen may pull the instruments into the center monitor. (note my monitors default resolution [each] is 1920 x 1080) So my ingame window is actually smaller than the default setting would be.

You say you have 'played" with the resolution, the selectable resolution from the game "Options" window should give you one that should work. As a note, when you have changed your resolution before did the instruments move location? (in game resolution only)

Ps: you do not have to match your default monitor resolution for a game to work or anything to work. Some times it will give you a "cleaner", "sharper" image but not always. Do not adjust your monitors, only the game window "in fullscreen".

I have the same issue as the poster. This is not with the bezel correction issue. It is a aspect ratio issue. Him and I are not running Wide monitors like the people trying to help him. see this link to see what we are talking about http://mwomercs.com/...44#entry2011544. There is no fix yet.
