Thread: 2.0 Graphics Engine Questions?

1) Will we be able to play the game with "Triple Monitor Display"? (I think 'Evefinity' run's it now?)
2) Can we play the game in 3D?
3) Can the new engine allow a display of Over 60fps?

1) Triple monitor display sucks, i dont understand the appeal, yay bezel bars running down my image looks so cool and realistic!
2) Probably not, 3D is a lame gimmick and some people can't even see it anyway
3) The old engine could too, but this is what was melting people's video cards. That's why it's capped- to prevent hardware damage.

Even at a steady 60 fps my gfx card gets to 102 celcius. x.x

1. Some people like it, why shouldn't they be able to play it that way?
2. Some people like 3D, and support for it isn't hard to do. Most people can see it, so the fact that some don't doesn't matter.
3. Unless there are serious driver bugs, no video card would melt regardless of how high a framerate you have. Video cards can usually handle temperatures around 100 C anyway. THere is no real difference between the temperature output of my video card if I turn up my graphical settings so that I have 100% GPU load while getting 40 FPS or if I'm having 100% load and getting 80 FPS.

I'm sorry but if your gpu is anywhere above 80C your doing it wrong (and even then).
