Question about SG on 3 crt monitor

[jackzod]

I just got my P and I have one question about SG.
What does it worth on 3 crt monitor , since most likely the refresh will be limited to 60 Hz.

Anybody tried it ?

If its not so bad I might get a 3rd (cheap) monitor, since I already have 2. (and a lot of desk space )

Thanks

AFAIK it runs at a refresh rate and resolution common to all 3 monitors.

Whist I wwas showing the card off at work to my directors I had it running 3072x768x32 @ 85hz

Shame about the screen interferance though - must get LCD's ....

Do you mean it will run at the refresh rate possible for the monitor for 800x600 ( or 1024x768 depending on the res you choose) ?

As I understand it, SG will take the lowest refresh of the three monitors and use that to refresh all screens. So if your third monitor only supported at most 60Hz at 800x600 and the other two supported at most 100Hz at 800x600 all three would be running at 2400x600 at 60Hz.
