finally, i replaced the dual arm with two single arms. they are more customizable - i liked the most this "overlapping" mode. but of course it is possible to use in "dual monitor" mode too. i calculated it, i need ca +40-45cm longer desk for the proper dual desktop (180cm). 20180202_210206.jpg …

thx. yes... the interwave is from amd. it is a great card, but at the scene demos you can have some gus compatibility issues with the timing.
