Just did a video of Crysis 3 maxed out (all settings on "Very High" except for Shadows --> "High"), 16xAF, SMAA (1x)!

Link: http://youtu.be/NnH4njOVDDc [watch in 1080P!]

More to come!

Running the 4-Way SLI GTX-680 Classified @ 1306Mhz. Some stuttering is perceptible due to overload on CPU (OC'd 3970X @ 4.5Ghz) with some settings in Crysis 3!

Playing on 3x Dell U3011 @ 5160x2560 (~13.2MP)! :D

Let me know your thoughts!

*Playing for fun so no HUD and using a Trainer to have infinite marbles.

Also, anyone know of good/better NVidia Inspector settings for Crysis 3? I've left all settings in NVCP at default for now.

Honestly with your system I would just play at 2560x1600 max 4x msaa. It should give 60+ min,

My monitors are in Portrait mode. 2560x1600 is not possible unless I reorient them.

And, I didn't buy 3 30" monitors to play on one.

The gameplay is smooth in almost all games so it's enjoyable anyway.

Can you explain how you got the 5160 part of 5160x2560? Dividing by 3 gives me 1720 but I've never heard of a 2560x1720 monitor.

I would rather play on a single than see those bezels, but it's your rig and your opinion. Nice setup.

Pretty cool playing Crysis 3 at a higher resolution than the advertised upcoming "4K" displays. Congrats.

Bezel correction. They are 2560x1600 most likely.

Correct. With Bezel Correction, the horizontal pixel count is 5160. With Portrait orientation, I'm basically running a "2560P" setup. Of course, someone else can claim that by turning their one 30" monitor in Portrait mode as well. So, to really capture the size of the resolution I'm gaming at, 5160x2560 is best (works out to over 13.2 million pixels). :D

I too thought that when I first got my Surround setup. Had one Dell U3011. After I got 2 more for 3 x Dell U3011.. I never looked back. I first had them in Landscape Mode which was 8100x1600 but Portrait Mode is WAY better for FPS games since there is little to no stretching (ie fisheye effect) on the peripheral monitors.

Your eyes actually learn to ignore the bezels after a while. I think of it like the A pillar in a car. Yes, you can't see through them but your eyes perceive the surround and your brain adjusts for the 'missing' view, so to speak. ;)

Also, if you guys want some ultra-high-res wallpaper of Crysis 3, I'll be posting some up this weekend. :thumbsup:

Hard to tell how good it really looks with Youtube's terrible video quality (even at 1080p)

And I dunno how anyone can play with bezels like that... no way.

Here's another one I just uploaded: http://youtu.be/SahUB88r56k

Will be uploading a few more... still trying to play around with the settings..

What are your thoughts on 4x GTX-680 Classifieds vs. Titans? 4-Way Battle? XD
