or voodoo science.. i vote for the later]]>Oct 18th 2007 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/
If you didn't SLI, the first card would operate 2 monitors (presumably the outer two) with the card running at 16x. Then one card running the middle monitor running at 8x. It's not perfect, and would be horribly ineffcient if the cards COULD SLI, but it would have equal performance on the three monitors.

Adittionally, if you gave the middle monitor more GPU time, and better performance, i don't think anyone would notice or really care. It would work well regardless of how it's configured.]]>Oct 18th 2007 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/Oct 18th 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/
A few games wont be able to use that resolution effectively like RTS, which would be better with 2 graphics cards in non-sli. But for FPS, racing games, etc., it would be cool.]]>Oct 18th 2007 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/Oct 18th 2007 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/The actual output from the framebuffer is separate from (and much easier than) the rendering, so no performance hit.]]>Oct 18th 2007 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/
I have the TH2G with three 19" flat panels, and it's absolutely astounding to play games in a 3.75:1 aspect ratio or have a desktop in 3840 x 1024 resolution with a DVD playing in one screen, a browser in another, and OpenOffice in another. :)]]>Oct 18th 2007 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/
If I am not using the Matrox Trip2Go the the 1st video card with dual outputs are connected to monitor 1 & 2. 2nd video card is connect to monitor 3. If I am using the Trip2Go then the 3 monitors connect to the Trip2Go and the Trip2Go connects the 1st video card preferably the 1st DVI port and also to a USB port on your PC for power. Video cards are not running in SLI.

Gaming is Awesome WHEN/IF you configure the game. Most games are available for PC not the MAC and running the Trip2Go on the PC is even easier for support. And yes I did get Doom running on my MAC. It Rocks!

Roadrunner better watch out. Coyote will undoubtedly have a lot at his disposal with this.

Oh, did I just date myself? :)
