Multiple Monitor Setup

[Frappuccino]

You can use InnerSpace to launch wow on a specific video card - this would allow you to build 2 WoW profiles and launch them with a single click instead of a bunch of monitor voodoo!

Does this really work? Launching a WoW session to a certain monitor is all fine and dandy but if windows won't render in OpenGL or what ever with the card which that monitor is connected to, then it won't really help. Innerspace would need to effectively tell windows for a very small amount of time that THIS is the primary monitor, allowing rendering on the 2nd GPU for the amount of time needed for wow to open up and jump to its designated area - or so I would think.

If it's just opening windows to certain areas, Keyclone does that fine, but it's not enough in this case.

Still i'm interested - if u can post pics/vid/more explanation or something that'd be cool

I don't have two video cards in a single system at this time to test with, but unless I'm horribly mistaken:



I did verify there's a tieriary and 4th setting as well.

What this does is launch the game telling DirectX that THATS the hardware to use - same thing you do by telling windows use this hardware, launch wow, switch back. If I'm wrong I'm sure Lax will correct me .

I wish I had a third monitor at the moment to try this out and break up my 5 WoW instances into an H formation. I may very well have to go get one tomorrow. This whole time InnerSpace was the answer to our dual video card setup [w/o doing it manually]? I did see those settings back when disabled my console key [because accidentally hitting '~' can be quite annoying in game] but thought nothing of it.

EDIT:

Blah my secondary PCI-Express slot is x8 so I doubt I'll be able to do much. Got all excited and ahead of myself

OMG! 16/9 Screenz, KILL THEM! :thumbsup:
gimmi ur pillz

It's funny I'm actualyl thinking of replacing them with 24" WUVGA ones lol.. 16:9 is kinda thin..
But I want PVA monitors instead of TN ones.. though I need to find some good ones that aren't overpriced. Anyone know a decent model?
