From what I understand most games are not dual monitor enabled. The most common ones that are would be flight simulators. I have dual monitors and enjoy first person shooters. I have played COD2 and Farcry. I may be wrong but i have looked for some time to do what you are trying to do. Good luck RSG

I did answer you question to the best I have figured out ,here is what I could find out about farcry From Google,(-r_waterrefraction does not work on geforce 5900 fx card when Dualscreen is on. when users want to use HIGH spec and have dualview enabled they should type in the console r_waterrefraction 0.)

(-There are issuses with dual monitor support (refractive shader).) I sounds like to that it is edgey at best to get to work.
