The Smith Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 With the card comes a Molex to PCI-E adaptor (Most probably). With that you will be good to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 unless its CSS or some HL title no way any games going to run at 3840 x 1024 with any single card. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brogs Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) i m a big rfactor racing sim fan...i can easily run that with 30 cars full detail a with 16 ansio and 4x aa .... i can run just about anything except crysis at decent settings... this sight is great for info on surround gaming.. check it out...you ll see most people are not playing just rpg games,,, http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/...x.php/Main_Page Edited April 7, 2009 by Brogs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brogs Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 i think most people think if they get say 60 fps with 1 screen then with 3 it will be cut to 20 fps,,, thats not true...usually the performance hit is around 20 to 30 percent but it all depends on the game and the settings...
