DESIRED RESULT:
I've been using 3 monitors with TF2 for about 12 months in a row a while ago. I now got a new graphics card and reinstalled windows OS.

ISSUE:
When I start up tf2 with NVIDIA Surround (5760 x 1080 pixels) with 3 monitors and 120Hz I instantly crash the game.

HARDWARE:
Gigabyte GTX Nvidia 1060 3GB
3 ASUS VG248QE monitors

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS TRIED:
Reinstalling TF2 with clean files (no hud, cfgs etc)
Clean drivers install on nvidia driver
Restarted computer
Launch settings: -fullscreen -w 5760 -h 1080 (tried with nothing aswell)
I shouldn't have any security program on except windows' own.
Verified game files/cache.

What can I try? Cheers.

Check that all 3 ports on the graphics card support 120hz

Checked now on GTA V with 120Hz and it does work with 3 monitors. I don't understand why tf2 won't. Same problem with tf2 when using 60Hz so it might only be a software issue. Still don't know what could solve it though.

why do you want to run tf2 on 3 screens anyways?

^ Pretty much. It's very nice seeing the game around oneself aswell.
