    Eyefinity desktop

    Hello all, I'm running 3 screens (eyefinity) and just wondering if you can get 3 different picture backgrounds, at the moment its the same picture on all 3 screens but i want a different pic on the other 2. I'm running 1920 x 1200 x 3, tried everything so far.

    Help me please.

    Program called ultramon, free trial for a month or so, will need to buy after, amazing stuff for multidesktop systems.

    Display Fusion would do the trick, it's freeware.

    Doesn't windows want to scale that image to fit one screen then copy it to all though?

    Re: Eyefinity desktop

    eyefinity works like a triplehead2go box just on the software (driver) level so windows is told it has 1 massive monitor 5760x1200 (assuming 1920x1200 16:10 on all screens) and will scale to this res, rather than that of a single screen.
    Tried eyefinity on BC2, gave me a headache. might be due to how close my screens were though.

    Re: Eyefinity desktop

    Ah ok, I didn't know eyefinity worked like that, I thought it was just the name of ATI's multi monitor system, nothing more.

    I stand corrected then
