GTX 690, 7680 x 1440 and Skyrim

Hola all...

I've been around forever though mostly lurk and learn. Normally I'm pretty quick and can figure things out but hit one that is stumping me... and I need your expert advice.

I upgraded from three 1080p monitors to 3 - 1440p. Used to play 3 monitors with Skyrim no issue. Now that I can drive 7680 x 1440 every thing I play is cool. Neverwinter, Bioshock Infinite, War thunder, etc... all 7680 x 1440. Skyrim? It does not have a selection for 7680 x 1440. Geforce experience (332.21 drivers) shows a max resolution for skyrim of 2560 x 1440. Skyrim also maxes @ this resolution....

What gives?

Systems Spec :
i7 x 980 Hex core @ 3.33 Ghz
Asus GTX 690
6 GB Memory
512 Boot Samsung boot SSD, 3 TB storage
3 asus 27 1440p monitors
windows 8.1

any all help appreciated

You may have to run skyrim at your old res. That game is just broken on so many levels.

 

You a are not running out of vram on 3 1440 screens?

 

I'm honestly not sure. I'd think that I'd still get the resolution as a select in configuration, but generate an error message if I was out of vram.

 

No error message just poor performance.

 

You would prob be better off selling that 690 and get s couple 4gb gk104s and overclock that cpu to 4ghz plus too

 

Hi,

Try forcing the resolution by editing the SkyrimPrefs.ini (../documents/my games/skyrim/)

...
iSize H=1440
iSize W=7680
...

If performance is an issue, try switching off AA.

Kind regards,
chris

 

also try google'ing "flawless widescreen skyrim"

 

or widescreenfixer ^^

 

Not to be rude, but I don't think that is going to help him solve his current problem.

The last three post's above me are all good places to start.
