Matrox T2G-D3D-IF Graphics Card

Pros: Playing games accross 3 screens is amazing, i dont think i can go back to a regular 1 screen setup. Just search TH2G on youtube. I have this accross 3 22″ Widescreen LCD’s to run games @ 5040×1050. Having that much more screen “Realistate” is also very nice to have, you can be watching a movie in one monitor, be browsing the internet in the other screen, and still have 1 screen to spare! lol Cons: The Digital Edition is the only one with the DVI connectors, so go Digital. They dont ship (at least the time that i purchased mine ) with an already updated firmware in order to support the 1680×1050 x3 resolutions so you have to do that yourself, its not hard but be aware.
Some games are not supported. The Matrox site says that World of warcraft is, but its really not, BUT Wrath of the litch king is suppose to be so we’ll see.
In order to run 1680x1050x3 (5040×1050) each monitor has to run at 1680×1050@57Hz, which not all monitors do. I had to craigslist 2 monitors because they didnt support 1680×1050 at anything other then 60hz Overall Review: If you get the right monitors and a good enough rig, its amazing.

Pros: Works brilliantly, even in Linux with a little tweaking. Completely painless configuration in Windows. Device feels solid and has nice connectors. I’m running 3x Gateway FPD2185W at 5040×1050. Cons: It’s expensive for what it really does, but it’s your sane only option for a triple monitor setup. Would have given it 5 stars if it cost < $200. Overall Review: The alternative to a TH2Go is multiple video cards, which locks you into upgrading two high-end cards every year or two. With TH2Go, you can run with just one high-end card. Makes sense for the long run, even if the initial investment seems steep.

Pros: Duh… three monitors! Even if you NEVER played a game using a tripple wide screen set up the productivity value of having three different screens opened at once makes you giggle like a 5 year old. But, I did purchase this especially for gaming and I have had a blast with it. The list of native support for wide screen gaming is large and there are about 210 supported games.
It was easy to set up, pretty much plug and play, but learning how to set up your screen resolutions takes some hit and miss trial and error with and end result that really makes it all worth it.
Tech support (free) was there for me (after the second try). The first guy was a bit short with me and not so friendly, but after my set up issues ticked me off I called again and got much better service. The tech used a remote service and was able to change all my settings for me to get me started. Cons: Conflicts occur in every bit of hardware and this one is no different. The tech support said it was my 8800GTS 512/drivers having issues with the T2G. When I would activate some games my monitors would flash on and off with a quick image on the screen but leave me only with all black screens.
I know that every piece of hardware is not friendly with others, but I thought that my video card was around long enough that driver issues would be resolved by now. NOT. Overall Review: Look, if your waiting for one of those EyeFinity cards that supports tripple monitors for gaming then maybe that is a solution for you, but read up before you buy. They are having issues with game support too so dont buy before you investigate. If you are like me, having my midlife crisis toy purchasing craze or a part time gamer and computer junky and want to get the latest and greatest cool thing… THIS is the time to buy! Even though Im a bit bummed out that support for games and driver/hardware conflicts are there in some small cases, this is still a no brainer. If your a flight sim guy and have NOT moved on to the tripple monitors… you must be living in a cave and its time to evolve and pull the trigger and get started with this product (and a couple more monitors).
And of course… ALL HAIL NEWEGG FOR THEIR SPEEDY SHIPPING AND GREAT SERVICE… WHY BUY ANYWHERE ELSE!

Pros: Great for surround gaming, been using now since January 2010. A simmers Dream! An huge boost in my productivity in graphics design having the 3 monitors as they can be set up with only this (or the newer surround gaming cards).
Newer firmware allows for 5760×1080 (3x 1920×1080) but you will need to be able to set your monitors to 50Hz for that, and 59Hz for 5040×1050. Fantastic unit and never regreted buying it. It changed the way I both work, and game tremendously. Cons: The support is terrible. I’ve had this unit for over 2 years. In those two years I have written countless emails to support telling them the firmware on their website was trash. It wouldn’t install (For anyone). They said “We’re aware of this and working on a fix”. They said that for over 18 months!!! And who knows how long before I got it. They are simply the worst and good luck waiting on a response also. After Effects and Photoshop users will have great reward using this (and Sounbooth\Audition) being able to move panels over 3 monitors, but beware. There are issues like PS’s “Save for Web”. If you go into that and cancel, you won’t be able to get back to your work. I lost countless hours of work with this and the bottom line is really Adobe’s fault 100%. There are other annomalies that are very annoying with Adobe products and this unit but my time runs out in character limit. One more thing, their “Powerdesk” software is terrible! Overall Review: All in all, I’ve had more good times with this then bad. I still highly recommend it to people, especially since after 2 years they finally got the firmware that wouldn’t work off their site, and uploaded the firmware that works. I recommend it telling people the cons as I did above, but their support is really just the worst. They weren’t always so bad. They were Much better back in the 90’s (back when they often had the top video cards). 2 years to take down faulty firmware has been the talk of many widescreen gaming forums for years. Their excuses are pathetic at best and no reason for that, it’s just pure abandonment. Oh well, like I said it’s now fixed but I still don’t use their software. Save yourself a major headache also and forget the idea of using 3 different monitors together. It’s slightly possible, but rare. Check the monitors on various widescreen gaming forums before you buy and see what others have confirmed to work. I wish I did that. 3, sets of monitors I went thru.
