After reading this article from Multimonitor.net showing that it was possible to get Team Fortress 2 to run on triple monitors with a program that emulates Matrox’s TripleHead2Go‘s functions – SoftTH.
I decided to give it a shot so after a good two hours of google, trial and error I finally got Team Fortress 2 working on my three Samsung 2243BWs.
It seemed to have a bit of difficulty running on Windows 7 Build 7077 so it took me a bit longer than anticipated.
Check out the test run on my Youtube video below.
You can give SoftTH a shot too, download it from the developer’s site.
Grab my config file from here, just copy paste the code into your config file and it should work.
Update 6/11/2010: The latest Team Fortress 2 update has broken SoftTH 1.08 and 1.09c, a workaround for this is to run TF2 in DirectX 8 with the command “-dxlevel 80″, you’ll lose quality but you can get your game on.

Looks great! Looks like you have better frame rate on your side monitors than my video as well, I may have to compare config’s. =-)

The latest softth (which is still in alpha) fixes the problem. but you need windows 7.
