Multi Monitor gaming

[SnoSalmon]

Hey guys,

I have been working on a list of games that support, or don't support, multi-monitor configurations.

Ever been curious of what all the big fuss is about multiple monitor gaming?
Want to know what games work out of the box?
Want to rave about your favourite set up and games?
Trying to toubleshoot a game that doesn't seem to be working properly?

Always looking for more input, so if you run Eyefinity or Surround, let me know and I shall update this list.

Below is will be the ongoing list of eyefinity/surround games and how well they work. I'll update it with other people's opinions and games that they have played.

One question i've always had is, do I need identical sized monitors to play multi-monitor games?

Yes and no - the resolution needs to be identical for Surround/Eyefinity, but the size doesn't matter AFAIK

Multiple monitors is just lame. Gaming with bezels can eat a dick.

Now the FPS on one screen and a birds eye battle map on the other, that is multi monitor gaming. Do we get that sort of loving anywhere yet?

Running 3x20" for Guild Wars 2.

Want to try a 27+ now I think. Bezels do suck, but surrounding yourself with angled LCDs does not.

I find the bezels a non issue. You really only look at the centre screen, the sides just add depth and atmosphere. It allows me to see other vehicles in Shift 2 pulling up beside me, or that extra zombie in L4D2. Can also be used for peering around corners to see if there's a nazi hiding (Sniper Elite V2) - ok that's cheating, but damn handy!

Update - Borderlands 2 works out of the box. No time for screenshots back off to kill things.
- edit - some menus are zoomed in.
