I wonder how definitive this list is:
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_multi-monitor
I don't see some games listed that I could have sworn supported multi-monitor, like
World In Conflict. Maybe I am just remembering wrong about that one.
This talk of multi-monitor gaming reminds me of the [H] days when Kyle and Dan and such really got into Eyefinity. I used to work for a freelance software QA company (we tested all kinds of software but mostly games). One of our clients in the mid-to-late 2000s was nVidia. We had to test their hardware and mainly their drivers. Did a lot of f*cking around with NV Surround.
@Dan_D wasn't kidding about what a pain in the *** it was. I always assumed Eyefinity was better. Plus back in those days, NV Surround only supported what, 3 or 4 displays? Eyefinity I think went up to 6 displays from the get-go.
I run 3 displays for normal PC use (for the past several years, and before that two displays for many years), with my HDTV as the 4th display that only sometimes gets used. But I only ever game on the primary monitor. Of course all my monitors are different sizes, resolutions, and refresh rates, so not ideal for multi-monitor gaming anyways. I've never experienced multi-monitor gaming outside of stuff like the racing setups at Micro Centers. Heard it was always great for that and flight sims/games.
I usually play the game on one large monitor in the middle, then use the two side monitors for additional information
I've done this for many years. I've even used three monitors (albeit different sizes and resolutions) while only gaming on the middle/primary monitor and using the other monitors for other stuff while I gamed. I will most likely still be doing this for most of the games I play though.
Yeah that's pretty much what I mean. I have 3 monitors active at all times for general PC usage, with the primary in the center, and that's the one I play games on.
(The triple-portrait setup at 18:40 is the kind of setup I mainly remember from reading [H]. I remember wanting to do that myself for a long time.)
I wish the [H] webpages were still up. Hard to find specific articles even using things like wayback machine and Internet archive.

I need to get a triple display mount/stand so I can fine tune the position of the monitors to better line them up.
That sh1t looks
glorious.
I kind of want to get a 4th monitor (well, connect one of my old 1080P monitors) so I can still have that other monitor showing stuff while I am gaming. HAHA
...I got to figure out a place to put it on the desk. These monitors kind of take up all the real-estate.
My friend has a 6-display setup:
The center-top is an HDTV (1080p I think, not sure what size), the center-bottom a 27" (I think) 4K high-refresh-rate + VRR display, and the other 4 monitors are about the same size and res (which I think is 1080p). He only games on the 4K screen as far as I know.
