Idea: To include widescreen information from WSGF.com in all articles (ie. include on Sample Article) as opposed to being thrown in with notes in video settings such as here.
Method One: WSGF Link
- Less work
- Looks tidier
- Less information on PCGW itself
- Relying on external website
Widescreen Support
More information available on Widescreen Gaming Forum.
Method Two: Include All Information
- Information on terms such as 'Hor+' would have to be added to the gaming glossery
- More information without leaving PCGW
- MUCH more work for something already posted to a dedicated website
- Would clog up the page with information unimportant to some users

For 1600x1200 resolution settings allow you to choose between hor+ and pillarboxed view.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution
Native
Stereoscopic-3D Solution
By default using 3D Vision there is no profile. The game has some problems with rendering shadows, some point lights etc. Thanks to HELIX and the others they created a wrapper for the game which fixes the problematic shaders.
Tested also in 3D Vision Surround.
Link to the wrapper: [1].
