Gaming with Intel 4600, 3 monitors Collage mode ???

ZWebb — Fri, 21 Feb 2014 18:13:12 GMT

I am trying to get 2d surround in games like Nvidia has. I have a MSI GE70 2OE that has integrated Intel 4600 and Nvidia GTX 765m. The surround settings are not available in Nvidia control panel because all display ports run through the Intel chip. I have got one game to work well with the collage mode (battlefield 3) but, the hud is spaced out to the left and right screen (map is in far left corner, ammo in far right corner) instead of being on center display like Nvidia 2d surround. Also, other games that support multiple display gaming like Assassins Creed Black Flag and Crysis 3 show duplicated images on all 3 screens. Also in battlefield, I had to force the resolution. If I try to change any graphic settings in game, the game reverts to a barbaric 320x200 resolutions and duplicates on all 3 screens or it crashes. I then have to restart and the surround mode is good again.

I guess my question is, is Intel's collage mode meant for gaming? Battlefield works great so there is potential. Is there any support or profiles for specific games? Any fixes for the HUD issue and how to get other games to work. I saw another user posted a similiar question but he said Crysis 3 fired right up with collage mode and worked flawlessly.

Also, I spoke with Nvidia and they said Nvidia mobile gpu's do not support surround due to display ports being routed through the Intel chip. However, while in collage mode, The nvidia chip is running the displays (on board led status). I know this to be true because battlefield runs at high fps and if it was the intel chip driving it, FPS would be low (I have highest settings enabled). Also my frames per second onscreen display is black font when Intel and purple when Nvidia. ??

I understand you are looking for Collage mode compatibility while playing surround games.

I am checking with engineering department about this matter but I will need more information about this issue:

Can you place some pictures or screen shots about any error message or crashes you get when setting up collage mode and playing games?

I will need graphics report generated within graphics properties, also DirectX diagnostic report.

http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-009476.htm http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-009476.htm

To get DirectX report try this: click Start, click Run, type dxdiag in the Open box, and then click OK.

Both reports are saying you are currently running an earlier driver version; please try updating to the latest video drivers and try Collage mode:

Having similar problems to you. Were you able to resolve this? Some games just don't see the triple monitor collage resolution, and some don't show up correctly using that resolution even though non-fullscreen versions are fine.
