CVar gxMonitor

Last wiki revision 2010-10-26

This CVar controls which monitor wow plays on. Doesn't really matter for single monitor users, but handy for multi-monitor users.

0

  • 0:Only monitor for single-monitor users, 1st monitor (per Windows) for multi-monitor users
  • 1:2nd Monitor (per Windows) for multi-monitor users
  • ..

In-game, type the following /console gxMonitor setting

Alternatively, you can exit wow, open the Config.wtf file, and add the following line: SET gxMonitor setting

You can get World of Warcraft to play in a Windowed (Full Screen) mode on multiple monitors using this in macros. Performance may drop dramatically depending on your system and monitor sizes. Examples below:

/console gxWindow 1 /console gxMaximize 1 /console gxMonitor 1 /console gxrestart

  • Monitor 1

/console gxWindow 1 /console gxMaximize 1 /console gxMonitor 2 /console gxrestart

  • Monitor 2
