  • My screen res is 5760 X 1080 and I run a GTX690 card in BF3 and BF4 so yes it can be done if your video card and power supply can pull it off. EDIT>>> NOTE>>> your desktop res and in game res must be the same to pull this off.

    Below settings for control panel if you need them....

    If you have a Nvidia card go to Nvidia control panel, then under 3d settings go to Adjust image settings with preview. Change it to performance hit apply.

    Next go to Configure Multi-GPU,surround , Physx

    -In set the following pick Spam displays with surround and let it do its thing. It should give you the choice to set up bezil after all this.

    Once this is all done if you want at the top it has file, Edit desktop etc ... pick desktop and then surround display and un- chek confine taskbar to single display. This will make the taskbar of your screen go on all 3 monitors :womanhappy:

    Ok so in game now in video settings change screen resolution to 5760 X 1080 .. NOTE>>> your desktop res and in game res must be the same to pull this off.

    Also do this so you can see FPS ingame without typing as you will need to play with in game settings to pull off best FPS and if you have Nvidia card I can help you with this if you want. I get 120FPS on med with my cpu video card etc on med as I have mega FPS issues I must have my 120FPS :womanlol:

    To see FPS in game with out fraps etc:
    1- open note pad
    2-put this in the note pad..... perfoverlay.drawfps 1
    3-when you make the user.cfg in notepad,change the file type from text to all. And name it user.cfg
    4-Put in .....:\Program Files(x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4
    5-Also close Origin to put cfg in just to be safe :}
    6-You will see your FPS in top right of screen when you start BF4

    Im having the identical problem, sadly your hope to help us falls short.

    We can not change any settings in game. Other games but bf4 works fine & with ease. 

    All my tinkering with Nvidia out of game settings will not help me.

    ATM im thinking if the problem is what displayinpust we have may mess with the game.

    Im running a GTX 970 1xHDMI & 2 DVI to HDMI "simple cordes" no active adapters.

    I posted how I do it in nvidia control panel as it has never given me any issues in the 5 years or so I have had 3 monitors going for games. But you have a good point regarding origin so for my origin settings this is what I do...

    Run the game as Administrator:
    Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x64)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
    Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

    Run Origin as Administrator:
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

    Disable Origin in game:
    In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

    Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
    Origin, settings, General

    Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
    1- open origin and go to My Games
    2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
    3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
    4- Hit apply REBOOT your PC and then test your BF4

    For origin overlay notifications part  all I uncheck is the first part... friends list and chat I still have the download and install checked off.

    As for the bump you did I had to remove it as bump is not allowed on Answers  HQ
