There only seems to be two other posts on the intel forums regarding problems with Intel Collage and multi monitor gaming.</P><P></P><P>I have a i7-4710HQ w/ Intel HD 4600 and Nvidia 980m.</P><P></P><P>I use Intel Collage to create a 3 X 1920x1080 = 5760 x 1080 resolution across 3 monitors (I only have 2 external at the moment, 1 is the internal laptop screen, for testing purposes of course).</P><P></P><P>The only game I tested that worked as expected was counter strike global offensive. It showed the 5760x1080 as a select-able resolution and displayed it correctly across all 3 screens.</P><P></P><P>Unfortunately, other games have been very problematic. In Battlefield 3 and 4, the max resolution I can select is 1920x1080, which clones the game screen across all 3 monitors. In Crysis 2, I can select the resolution, but the game remains blank after applying it fullscreen. If I let it run in windowed mode, performance takes a big hit. Sometimes I can get it to apply the 5760x1080 in fullscreen, but the first monitor image (aka the first 1920x1080 of the 5760x1080) is cloned across the other two monitors.</P><P></P><P>Many others using Nvidia surround or AMD eye finity do not experience these problems.</P><P></P><P>Is this a limitation in displayport bandwidth? Or is it because the video output ports are connected to the iGPU instead of the dGPU and there is a bandwidth limitation in the forwarding between the two?</P><P></P><P>I believe it is a software issue and not a hardware limitation because CSGO works. If it was hardware, it should not be working either.</P><P></P><P>I am on the most up-to-date driver for the Intel HD 4600 and Nvidia 980m (stable, not beta drivers).</P><P></P><P>Attached is the dxdiag</P><P></P><P>EDIT: Related threads with similar issues</P><P> </P><P> </P> Fri, 13 Mar 2015 10:02:12 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-HD-4600-Nvidia-980m-Intel-Collage-Triple-Monitor-Gaming/m-p/318262#M17289 jluan 2015-03-13T10:02:12Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-HD-4600-Nvidia-980m-Intel-Collage-Triple-Monitor-Gaming/m-p/318263#M17290 <P>Any takers, or is this going to get buried like the other threads?</P> Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:05:13 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-HD-4600-Nvidia-980m-Intel-Collage-Triple-Monitor-Gaming/m-p/318263#M17290 jluan 2015-03-13T20:05:13Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-HD-4600-Nvidia-980m-Intel-Collage-Triple-Monitor-Gaming/m-p/318264#M17291 <P>bump</P> Mon, 16 Mar 2015 03:57:03 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-HD-4600-Nvidia-980m-Intel-Collage-Triple-Monitor-Gaming/m-p/318264#M17291 jluan 2015-03-16T03:57:03Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-HD-4600-Nvidia-980m-Intel-Collage-Triple-Monitor-Gaming/m-p/318265#M17292 <P>Jiexi, thanks for the information provided.
