I want to do lvl4 missions with two accounts at once. I'm wondering how feasible that would be to keep alt+tabbing back and forth, so thought of maybe getting a second monitor? My system is more than capable of running two clients at once, but I've never used two monitors before and wanna know how exactly would it work? Would I be able to seamlessly move my mouse from one eve client on monitor 1, to the other eve client on monitor 2? |

Darren Corley wrote:Yes it can be done, and if you're using SLI it's actually easier than expected. You just set the second client to the second GPU and it will put itself on the second monitor. It won;t only use the second GPU, both will render both, it's just in game you can use fixed window and they will go to the appropriate screens.
Now, it is far better to use 2 computers and a program like Synergy or Input Director. Just so much better, and no need to click back to each client to make it active and accept commands again.
Synergy? Input Director? What do those do? |

You have three monitors on your desk? How do they fit? Do you have a photo? |

You say I'll need to have both monitors run the same resolution? That could be a problem... my current monitor only supports 1680x1050 |

To those of you that have multiple monitors on your desk, how do you set them up? I don't have enough room for two monitors side by side, so I went looking for a vertical stand to put them one on top the other... and the only one I found is at $250 which is more than the monitor itself!  |

That could be a problem... my current monitor only supports 1680x1050 Go t o your computer's display and settings, you can tell it to make your screen run at any resolution that you want. Make sure that the screen with the highest resolution is the same as the screen with the lowest resolution. This will make it easier on your video card. My lowest res screen is 1440 by 900, and so I have to set my high res screen to the same settings in order to make eve lag less on 2 screens.
This is what I don't get. Reducing the resolution of the bigger monitor to fit the smaller one is counter-intuitive. And is certainly a waste of the bigger res monitor. Why do I have to have them both the same resolution? There are people in this thread that say they use monitors with different resolutions without problems, so it's not a hardware issue, right? |
