How do I game with dual montiors

August 24th, 2013

I have a dual monitor setup running on my Radeon HD4850. Ive figured out how to make the two monitors run as one monitor, with everything except for gaming. Can I do this, if so how ? Someone please help me out here. PLEASE PLEASE.
Answer #1
for your gaming, your aim will be in the middle which is on the inside brackets
of your 2 monitor frames. So not the best situation.
I would suggest your go here. Widescreen Gaming Forum. you will be
able to get help and tweak the games you want to play on more
than one monitor.

Eyefinity is AMD's multi-monitor technology that allows Windows to see multiple display panels as a "Single Large Surface (SLS)". The SLS allows Windows to span 3D accelerated graphics across the multiple panels, enabling multiple monitor gaming. Mutli-monitor gaming was originally developed by Matrox and dubbed "Surround Gaming."
Monitors
Do I need a Display Port monitor?
No, you do not need a monitor with a DP connection. If you do not have a monitor with a Display Port connection, you will need a Display Port Adapter. You will need either an Active Display Port adapter to convert from DVI to DP, or a Passive Display Port adapter to convert from VGA to DP.
Is there a way to avoid Display Port?
Yes. Sapphire has just recently announced and launched the Sapphire HD 5770 FleX Edition. The card forgoes 2 DL-DVI outputs, in favor of 1x SL-DVI and 1x DL-DVI. This allows the card to utilize three display clocks to drive the outputs - up to a maximum of 1920x1200. A SL-DVI connection only requires one clock (but maxes out at 1920x1200). A DL-DVI connection requires two clocks (which allows it to max out at 2560x1600).
Can I use different monitor sizes?
Yes. However, each monitor in an Eyefinity group must display the same resolution - and they will default to the lowest common denominator. Two displays at 1680x1050 and one display at 1920x1200 will all display a 1680x1050 image - stretching that image across the 1920x1200 display. If you utilize different aspect rations (i.e., 2x 1920x1080 and 1x 1920x1200), the image on the "odd display" will either be letterboxed or stretched.
Software
What OS is supported?
Eyefinity is only supported on Windows Vista and Windows 7, in either 32-bit or 64-bit. Windows XP is not supported.
What AMD Catalyst drivers are needed?
Eyefinity was launched with the 9.12 driver. Significant enhancements have been made along the way. The WSGF maintains a changelog summary of the Eyefinity enhancements in the different driver updates.
How is Eyefinity set up?
Eyefinity display groups are created in the Catalyst Control Panel.

if you had a third monitor, you would not go back to single monitor
for gaming.

Even if there is a way, you won’t get enough FPS.
