Quake 3 was Made when VOODOO 3's where the gamers Cards.. they coded is and etc for Geforce cards ( there where still in development at the time ) and boom! dual head Cards dident Really emerge untill the later second Generation Geforce cards.. TRUE Dualheads dident come out untill maxtorx Stepped up to the plate and offered Tri monitor setups's.. that was about by the time of the later edditions of the third/fourth generation of the geforces.. And you, you have a Geforce FX 5950.. this is the fifth ( 5th ) generation of cards... this is why it wasent put in the game.. unshort ( recap ) The Game is fucking OLD, now stop whining.

I beleive it's easier done on the ATI triple view cards, since if you get it going on 2 displays the target is going to be right on the split between displays..... However, I beleive you need to enable monitor spanning and hook one monitor to the DSUB connector and the other to the DVI-Out. The TV-Out won't work for dual-screen viewing. Sorry I can't help more than that. Amidy, you could calm down a bit and be more polite? _________________ "Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do." ― Terry A. Davis
