3 Computers Running 3 Displays?

[P3R]

Hi

 

Does SkyMaxx Pro work in this kind of environment?

 

If so do i need to buy 3 licenses or does it work with the one i already bought?

 

I have 2 more computers on the way so i'm just wondering.

 

"The reason for running this kind of setup are, i'm building a HW cockpit and need the tripple power for getting the screens wrapped around the cockpit and getting max fps."

actually you don't need 3 computers to run X-plane on 3 screens as you would think, in fact the performance difference from 1920x1080 to 5760x1080 is negligible (either that or my PC is CPU bound bigtime) and that is with high performance settings, don't know about the licensing thing but unless those two new computers don't have a modern Gpu (Nvidia 600 series+ IDK as far as AMD is concerned (got 2 DOA GPU's in a row from them once so I pay no attention to them)) you should be fine running 3 displays on one computer

I have been running 3 displays on one computer for some time now with NV Surround and got some stretching on the side displays i dont like and its just not enough power for maximum fps.

I will be running 3 i7 4770K CPU's, 1 Nvidia GTX780ti and 2 Nvidia GTX680.

I am doing 60fps now on 1 screen and would like that on a 3 screen configuration without the stretching and have better flexibilty.

3 computers for 3 screens is by far the best way to go, albeit an expensive one.  (In my case, 3 machines, each with a GTX 680.)

 

Each of the views is not distorted as it would be from only one GPU card driving 3 monitors.  FPS is far better as well.

 

In this case, you get what you pay for.

Guess its time for me to get a new processor then...
