Guys just wanted to know if the crysis game can be played with three monitors. I sent them an email but no response.

Brian posted a link in your October topic that lists off compatible games:

List of games that support multi-monitor - PCGamingWiki PCGW - bugs, fixes, crashes, mods, guides and improvements for every PC game

www.pcgamingwiki.com

As you can see, all three Crysis games are on the list.

Whether they will run WELL is another matter.

BTW you guys think that at least end of this year starting next developers will take the multiple monitor setup more seriously?

No because id say 99.5 percent of people dont use 3 monitors, esp. to game.

It's expensive and most people I don't think can afford that kind of setup because you would also need a good rig for it. I see more of it in simulator communities and the like, but then they also have expensive chairs and similar to further enchance the realism.

A good rig AND space to put the monitors in.

And - do most high-end video cards have three display ports? If not, you'll need some do-dad to deal with that.

Multi monitor gaming as mentioned is expensive in display cost and the GPU it takes to drive that many pixels. Also, now a days there are some excellent Ultrawide curved OLED displays that have kind of taken over that space, like the Samsung Odyssey. Aside from that, less work for developers, as it's easier to support, and also less setup hassle for end users. A sign that multi monitor gaming is fading away though is the oft times you see fixes needed for multi monitor setups still to this day, a sign that not many devs want to support it anymore.

That said, the one tradeoff of ultrawide curved vs triples is you get less peripheral view. With Ultrawide if you're playing a car racing game for instance, the peripheral stops at your side mirror, whereas with triples it extends a ways behind it.
