Is there a link to hook up 3 flat screen monitors so I
get more of a wrap around view in NASCAR 2003. I am
running a ATI X850pro Video card with DVI and my old
ATI 9800Pro in laying in a drawer. My current monitor is
a Samsung 930B and I was thinking of mabey getting 2
more if its not that big of a deal.. Is it worth it?
I'd like a link to read about it or some first hand
knowledge.
Thanks

There's a software solution, floating around. Found the link on the
rscnet.org forum. But - you can only use it via a PCI-E video card, not AGP
(not enough bandwidth).

Do some research (via google) and it should pop up.

Matrox TH2G or software solution, which is also discuss here:

http://www.racesimcentral.net/***forum.com/forum/

Look in the Surround *** section.

TH2G won't give you good resolution with an ATI card for some technical
reason.

There was a solution for GPL, could work with N2003...it involved having two
slave machines as spectators on a network game, then editing the views so
that each client was seeing the side view of the car running in the master
PC. Would require 3 PC`s with network, though.

Like others have said the Matrox Triple Head to Go is the best (only)
option. You will have issues with the Radeon card unfortunately. There is
some glitch with their driver architecture that will limit your max size. I
know for a fact it works with Nascar 2003 and it is simply awesome with my
Nvidia 7900 GS but your mileage may vary.

Go here:

and run the compatibility application to see how it will work with your
card.

Here is a link to my setup running a lap around Lime Rock Park in GTR.

Sorry about the crappy video quality but you'll get the idea.
