I own three graphics cards (with three monitors 17") Can i render a 3d world into all of them using different camera angles, thus making a cool surrond like effect. Like having left and right views on at all times.. [Insert cool signature here]

Sure you can, but I think you''ll be surprised at the complexity of doing it. Each card will appear as a device. So you''ll have to allocate anything you would use the IDirect3DDevice8 interface for on each card. On top of that you have to worry about resolution and format differences for each.

But good luck to you.

cool thing at sgi when i was doing awork experience, they''d have an irix box and a linux box (completely different architectures) yet they were using null-modem cables between them to effectively use them as one computer ( the mouse and keyboard would be shared, not sure about other resources, i didn''t get to use a dual comp :o( )
