So this weekend I was playing EVE with 2 monitors. 1920x1080 and 1280x1024. I set EVE to do Fixed Window and set resolution to 3200x1080. Now I have 3 monitors tried the same thing except 4880x1080 since my third monitor is 1680x1050. EVE only shows on the 1920x1080 and 1280x1024 though.

AMD 8150-FX @ 4.5GHz
16GB 1600MHz
Radeon HD 7970 3GB @ 1GHz (12.11 Drivers)
120GB SSD (OS and EVE)
1000 Watt Power Supply

DXDiag shows that my drivers are not WHQL either. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Have you done a check so you uses the first monitor as default monitor?

I havent run on tree monitors. If i remember it right if you set to use adapter 2 then yoiu dont get any eve on the first display.

Im not at home atm but i have some faint memory that i did that some time and then i did not get the game on my first screen.

Surprisingly after some tinkering I got it to work. Like you said it takes some tinkering and setting your main monitor. I actually have stopped trying to do this since EVE seems to max out my graphics card and cause it to go to about 70C.

Anyone know why at 1080p EVE maxes out my 7970 Crysis doesn't even do that and it is DX11?
