Mass Effect 3 (Triple Monitors / Eyefinity / Surround) [~4K]

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Mass Effect 3 is a sci-fi action RPG, its played from a 3rd person perspective and is heavy story driven. The multi-monitor support in this game is fairly good rendering is horizontal plus in most cases, the only issues are the HUD and menus. The HUD is placed on the far edges of the screen so its not much use, and the menus are vertical minus making some of them unusable. Luckily again helifax has made a fix for it which can be found in the link below.

Copy paste of video description:

Mass Effect 3, Original resolution was 5040x1050 aspect ratio of (48:10). If you are running a resolution with a width higher then 1920 (30'' monitor or multi monitor) set quality to original and view in fullscreen.

This video shows a story mission in the game but doesn't contain any real spoliers.

Multi-monitor resolutions work natively, however the HUD and UI are spanned and vertial minues, a fix for this can be found here: http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/mass-effect-3/en

Gotta say that looks pretty awesome. I won't use 3 monitors for gaming though until we get monitors with no bezel's. Having bezels break the game up deters me :/

It depends on the person, I personally don't notice them because I don't pay any attention to the fact they they are there, if you know they are there your more to notice them, but that's one of the reasons bezel correction exists. A good example is you don't notice a scratch in your car even if you pass it every day until you actually look at it, once you know its there if you let it bother you, you will always notice it.

I agree bud - I tried out a triple monitor setup at a friends house and I really didn't like it. I felt like it was too much effort to play and too much real estate. That said, I've been looking into a 3x30" portrait setup which could be a viable solution.

Triple Screens work for racing and flight, other then that I must agree that the bezel it just too much to overcome.

Bezels disappear for me after I've gotten used to it. Overlapping bezels plus bezel compensation, I don't even notice them anymore.
