    It's very natural actually. When ifrit would jump, and come down, i could see him out of the corner of my eye, to the side. It was litterally like having real peripherial vision in game. Same with running through town or killing mobs, you have a fuller field of vision.

    To me when I see that massive distortion, i interpret it as not being correct, they don't have anything in place to show that much data on hte screen at once, which would make it not truly 3monitor capable, but rather stretching it to compensate for the additional resolution you're pulling out of it. 5760x1200 is almost a 5:1 ratio, maybe the max they have it set up for is 4:1, similar to setting the ration in ffxi.

    AFAIK, that's your Radeon drivers doing the stretching not FFXIV.

    Which is funny when you think about it -- I avoid Nvidia like the plague because I personally find them low quality cards and always had issues with them and love my Ati and haven't had issues using 3 monitor setups and I haven't noticed distortion, however I did have to tinker with drivers since XIV is still not that well optimized in general.
