You're asking if Skyrim will work with Nvidia Surround? It definitely should; I run it with a resolution of 3900x1920 in Surround just fine, so I don't see why it would not work with your resolution. As for instructions, once you've set up Surround in your Nvidia Control Panel, edit the file Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini and change iSize H to equal 1080 and iSize W to equal 5760. I don't think this can be done in the launcher; the resolution list there is blank for me, so you probably have to set it manually.

There's a whole host of other fixes required too - otherwise the UI is completely unusable.

I seem to recall there being a tutorial on widescreengaming.org... ah yes http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/enit is.

Only problem is that it probably won't work with Skyrim 1.4 yet. (unless 1.4 fixes all the widescreen issues addressed by HaYDeN's fix tool?)

:edit:

Yep, according tohttp://widescreengamingforum.com/forum/forums/multi-monitor-gaming/multi-monitor-gaming/18156/eyefinity-skyrim-confirmed-hor-broken-m?page=209it appears that HaYDeN has not yet released an update to work with 1.4, but Helifax's fix (also found http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/en) does work with Skyrim 1.4.

^^ This ^^

I normally run 3*1 Eyefinty (ATI) at a similar resolution to the one you ask about. I use the Hayden patch as I consider it easier to use. Alas, poor me! Hayden is off out of country it seems and has not yet been able to update the fix to go with the latest Skyrim game update.

At the risk of repeating myself (from other threads), Bethesda really should sort this out and make wide screen / multi monitor setup support native. (I know this is a requirement for only a small percentage of users BTW!)

It's sad they still haven't fixed or even addressed this yet. I mean really, how hard could it be.. there are work arounds developed by people on their own time. How is it the actual people working on this game still can't get this right?
