A Little Bit Of Atmosphere! 4

Wow, that must be quite a sight seeing that on three monitors!
Here's my latest effort:
DRS 57011 ambles south past Wishaw in the last of the Spring light

That is looking *much* better.

This is by far the most awesome thing ever... 3 monitors is incredible

Stunning stuff. I have used 3 monitors breifly in the past. You could hear my desk creaking under the weight, as they were all 15 inch CRT's
With reference to previous comments about wide shots, 3 monitors side by side could take up more than half a street. If you don't beleive me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebenezer_Place,_Wick - my hometown has claim to something

Richard, that's very, very nice.

It is! I'm in heaven! If anyones curious how this presents itself from my end. Here is a pic. Last thing I need to do is buy one more monitor to replace the center one so I have exactly 3 of the same. Just noticed the 3rd monitor isn't set to sRBG..

@ Exeter station.

Now that's something to aspire for!

Exeter looks great across those three screens - almost gives RW's a model railway feel with it looking more like a scenic diorama!

Are any of those HP monitors multitouch?

[styckx]

Nope. I wish!

You guys are going to have to get use to these. Sorry. It's my default game resolution 100% of the time now.

Bill, do you need to use one of those triple head 2go things with that monitor setup ?

[alexnick]

Well, that certainly puts those of us just running a not-so-new laptop to shame

I think he needs to use three heads

No thank god, they're expensive. I'm using an ATI 5870. Two of the monitors are hooked up via VGA cable using a normal DVI-VGA adapter off the graphics card, than the third monitor is hooked up using a DVI-D cable that is connected to the card via an active DisplayPort-DVI-D adapter. It's the Active DisplayPort adapter that is the key to making 3 monitors work w/ the newer ATI cards. Then you can Eyefinity your monitors into one giant monitor and off you go.

This is the adapter I am using: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-text-_-

Good lord! Zoomed in and had to scroll quite a fair bit to see it!
I want one

Haha! I must say you have a very high resolution camera! If there 120Hz monitors you could get Nvidia 3D on all screens! But then...You must make sure you have the right Graphics card, and Railworks probably wont support it. Like I found, I was very dissapointed. Haha!

Here a few shots of the ESR.





Cheers,

Hello Bill
I'm glad I'm not paying your electricity bill for powering three monitors
Kind regards Stephen

Crikey!!!!! That setup makes my single 15in thing look rather insignificant - an upgrade is required methinks.
