It will, but only on a single monitor... and the performance you experience may not be pleasant.

This can be duplicated without having the matrox hardware with the correct setup and ATI/Nvidia devices. Run a dual monitor setup already with a pair of Nvidia cards and their drivers. Matrox never did have a very decent product for the gaming world, their chipsets are primarly business orientated.

If it's only displaying on one screen how is that working? Working would be a display on all three screens as that is the entire point of the product, a single display output from it is far from working.

The Maxtrox device will work with this game on ONLY a single monitor, but with a performance hit. So...now  the OP understands that running the game spread across two or three monitors will not happen!!</p><p>You have two complaints about this: </p><p>Not able to make sense with the TSR comment!</p><p>That the game will not make use of this technology!</p><p>Does that sum it up for you?</p><p>Any further complaints?</p>

Meh, I'm just being pedantic about semantics. Sorry I do that and it even annoys me when I realise I've done it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Anyway, the only issue I am having is not being able to zoom out far enough.  The max zoom is still too close to the char and I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this??  The game is playable, but this makes it annoying.  Yes, I do know there is a slider to change the max zoom.  That still isn't far enough.  You can see what I mean in the video. Oh, btw, it looks amazing on all three screens!  I took some screenshots ingame.  Maybe I'll post some 3840x768 images if I get around to it. Okay, I added some screens to flickr (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tineras/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">SCREENS HERE</a>)
