    nVidia surround is awesome!!!

    After some snags, I finally got FFXIV running on nVidia surround. I have 3x 28" monitors for a total resolution of 5760x1200, and hte game runs AMAZINGLY!!! I reccomend it to everyone.

    And before people say "onry for people with more money than brainz!!1!!111" I did it on a budget for under $1500.

    Here's a video:

    I'm surprised more people don't do it. Apparently all you need is an ati 5850 with eyefinity, or any 2 nvidia cards of a decent number, and any 3 monitors that support the same resolution.

    also, if your resolution is 5760x1200, you can't have general draw quality above 8, or it'll crash the game. It took me an hour to figure out what the problem was, super annoying.

    They are a bit maddening... but it could be worse. I don't find myself looking near the bezels, stuff is either on my main screen, or on a side screen, so when I'm actually playing it's not as bad.
