OK, I did the work using one of my old screenshots (with SLI GTX8800)
Needless to say, you want to see three monitors, well, it is gonna be big pictures


Optimal Resolution 1024x768 (in order to identify the dots ) and 4:3
note: I do not know whether CoD has been optimized for 16:9 or 4:3 monitors but at least for IL2 it was 4:3
This is a screenshot from the days we were trying to identify the Russian PE-2s which were becoming "invisible" over woods (you can recognise the dot under the number 3 in the centre screen)

Using the same IL2 3monitor 3072x768 (3x1024)x768 screenshot as base.

IL2 single monitor view 1024x768


IL2 three monitor view (3x1024)x768 = 3074x768


As you can see from the two above screenshots, my horizontal field of view trippled and I did not lose any of my vertical view thanks to IL2's 3monitor view option in the conf.ini

CoD single monitor view 1024x768


CoD three monitor (current) view (3x1024)x768 = 3072x768

As you can see there is a major loss of vertical view because CoD just expanded the original 1024 pixels horizontal view to 3072 pixels horizontal view. The detail is of course much better (than in my "streched image" example but the loss of vertical view is considerable.

CoD three monitor (not available today) view (3x1024)x768 = 3072x768
This is what a real three monitor view should look like in CoD



I hope this explains.

Thank you for a very detailed analysis on the situation. But how come I'm not seeing that zoomed in limited view for CoD in this video for example but a pretty decent fov:

Is it because of Eyefinity vs triplehead2go?

Neither, nor.

I can only assume, he adjusted the FOV using the following solution:

This solution unfortunately changes your front view and it is very difficult to dogfight and aim after that so, impractical.
