Concerning multi monitor setup

[Michael Carter]

Two video outputs on one card will net six monitor outputs using two TH2G's on one system...if the system can handle it.

Using two computers and a TH2G on each sounds better to me. And with a dual card output you could get a total of four monitors out of each computer.

Thanks for the info. Has anyone out there tried two 3togo's on one machine?
I figured one for outside views, and one for instruments?
Too much to hope??

Tony,

I have heard of someone using two TH2GO but nothing confirmed and I don't know whether there might be limitations. I had heard something about not being able to configure a second unit on the one PC or perhaps on the same video card. I would like to try adding a Dual Head 2 Go to my current TH2GO for a 5 monitor wrap around outside view. I might try and pick one up on ebay and dismiss the mystery once and for all!

As for your question about FS Expand click to find out. A viable alternative to Project Magenta.

Should be possible. Here's a guy running 2 TH2G on a single video card:

[Edit: Other guys pipped me to it!]

2 x 3 ...... or three monitors from each of the 2 graphics outputs on a typical PC, using 2 Triplehead2go devices. (one on each graphics output).

Not supported by Matrox (they only support 1 x TH2GO per PC) but certainly people have got it to work hardware wise. As far as I can gather, the only constraint is that you have to have identical settings / resolution across both TH2GO units - as you can only run one instance of the config software.

Thanks Henry,

That looks awesome doesn't it, imagine all 6 spanned around you in FS. What a view! That's it, I'm gettin another one!!
