I have my setup in 3x1 portrait, for some reason both side displays shut off, and I only have the middle display in BF3, anyone have info on this?

crap, same deal in landscape, BF3 Beta worked on 3 monitors 0.0, not sure what's going on, is there a cfg file somewhere :D?

Stupid question, but did you make sure that your desktop is set up as an Eyefinity group before you enter BF3? If its only set up as an extended desktop on the other 2 monitors, the game won't take it. I made this rookie mistake lol.

BTW in Eyefinity there are no friendly or foe tags on the center monitor, its a bug that's annoying as all hell on any servers that have FF enabled. Just a heads up ;)
 
My eyefinity is showing on all three screens but I'm having issues in-game. The player markers are over on the left monitor only, the mouse speed is crazy, and any time you look at a light it's like looking at the sun. Single monitor for me right now.
 
You could go windowed mode. That's what I have to do because I have one center landscape, and a portrait on each side.

It works ok. :)

I can't imagine framerates being friendly at that res. if only they made xfire work in windowed...
 
Most of those screenshots were taken in motion, things like running and turning cause the edges of the screen to blur.
 
Maybe so, but it still seems blurred in the second shot, which appears to be static.
 
Yeah that's much better, obviously motion blur is really pronounced, excessively so imo.
 
It's adjustable, I keep my motion blur bar in the middle. Looks much better in actual motion, I was just spamming my screenshot key while playing so it really sticks out in a few images.

Nickjames, are you using windowed mode? What resolution is that? Also if your not windowed, did you need to use screen adjustment options to center your hud?

Full screen 6048x1080 resolution (bezel comp, I have really thick bezels). I tried to do screen adjust but it crashed my game so I said fuck it and just left it at default.

Oh I see why your hud is okay, your on landscape. Apparently portrait is fucked right now. Supposedly dice is already working on a fix for that. Do you get enemy indicators on your side screens?

As far as the bezels, why don't you just remove them. Not that hard to do at all, and when done correctly can be put back on without anyone being able to tell you had them off. I've been running portrait eyefinity with bezels removed for months and have found that removing the bezels made my experience much more immersive

Hopefully once the next gen cards come out and nvidia also makes a even bigger push for eyefinity tech some manufacturers will jump on board and make bezel-less monitors @ 120hz. Hopefully even 30inch ones soon too. :)
 
I'd definitely appreciate a 120Hz 30" monitor, as I'm pretty confident I will see a significant benefit. Trouble is, it's only possible via the newest displayport standard, and the panel itself will have to be pretty good to prevent ghosting (remember the typical grey-grey time of a 30" panel is 8ms, and 120Hz refresh is 8.3ms per frame). If one did come out, it'd probably be at least 20% more than the current 30" monitors, which are already very expensive (overpriced imo).
 
Yea indicators work on left and right monitor. I don't know about removing the bezel on my Acer 24" it seems like I might fuck it up somehow.
 
poop, no luck still :S could be the new drivers.

Thx for the windowed-mode suggestion, I can launch in alt+enter into full screen that way and it works ::p

What res is that actually running at, and what framerates are you getting. Unless you're just strectching 1080p, that sounds like itd be unplayable at ultra, or even high, since windowed is limited to 1 card.

3960x1250 resolution. With everything Ultra it runs like a dog. I'm still playing around with settings to get a good balance. It's really the post-processing that kills it. Right now I've got it at Ultra textures, high for everything in between, no MSAA, medium post processing, 4x anisotropic filtering, off for the lighting engine. It runs around 47-50 fps and plays real well; the lowest I've seen it dip is to 37fps. Flying and tight maps like Metro inside are pegged at 60 (V-sync on). With no filtering the fps jump to 55-60 everywhere.

(/\ Those FPS are with the unlocked shaders on some overclocking on the GPU/CPU)

There is barely any difference FPS wise between low and ultra for the in between settings. Maybe a 10-15% difference total. I think having a 2GB card helps; I've used GPU-Z to log my memory usage and I've seen up to around 1.6gb used; and every map is over 1GB.
 
only way I can get the friendly names to appear in Eyefinity is playing in windowed mode.

Works for now but it takes a hit in FPS


fix this Dice :(
 
No fix for Eyefinity to see Friendly indicators? Windowed mode is not an option
 
Not yet, it's an issue with NV surround also, seems like a game issue with portrait multi-screen gaming.
 
Guys try running full screen, but lower your resolution 1 click down and then use the screen adjustment if necessary to fix your hud. That got the friendly names to appear for me in the beta. I ran at 2800xsomething instead of 3240x1920
 
All of the icons work fine on my portrait Eyefinity with my work around method I posted here somewhere...

Where? that is critical to me. I think I'm following most of your threads. I should be buying BF3 tomorrow afternoon so I hope I can solve that issue. Is it in the BF3 tweaks and help thread that worldexclusive started?
