    4890 Dual Screen

    Cant get games to run in both screens, MW2, HL2 doesn't detect the resolution? Dual Screens only work on the desktop.


    Im using windows 7 BTW.

    I'm not sure it's possible to do with dual monitors but I'm sure it's not possible on 4xxx series. It is a feature on 5xxx series...

    I could do that on my old 3870, why could the 4xxx series not do it?

    yes

    Edit: 2.... not 3 and last time I tried I wasnt able to. I suspect the OS change or newer drivers didnt support it. Last time I was able to, I was probably using win xp and old cat drivers developed during 3870x2 era. Back then I was able to choose a option called "Span" and it would span windows across dual display. Extend, Clone, and Span.
