Not a tech expert in the slightest, but I think you need dual graphics cards in order to play sk on two monitors.

Why?

Why would you want that, as you can see on the imgur link Flowchart added, the left and right screen are pretty much left empty...?

Your knight will be dead center on the plastic borders of your monitors... Horrible and expensive move. Get either a 3rd 1080 or better, a 4k monitor...

If anyone would stop asking why.

And just tell me how to set this up. I'd appreciate it.

If you go look in the thread, the guy who originally posted the picture said thats only for the locker room. When the game started, he could see the entire map at once if he was standing at the bottom in the center.

Tempted to do this myself. No more people sneaking up on me :o

I already have my extended monitor setup. xD
The problem is getting SK to EXTEND to both sides.

Doing a minor amount of research online for you (because you would have better success asking the internet rather than SK forums), I found that you should do 3 or 5 monitors, not 2, 4, or 6. Why? Well it's just as Nebrium says above. Essentially your game won't "extend" per se, it'll just have a bigger area to fill, meaning your knight will be centered in the total area of display. So your knight won't be in the middle of the screen anymore, it will be off to the side and possibly directly between your monitors. And if for some reason you are okay with this, I read something that says this, "You have to enable nVidia surround in the control panel, which quite often doesn't work unless the monitors are identical (they need to have the same sync polarity, which is quite often not the same)."
So playing on two monitors is possible, but it may not be for you even though you have two monitors.

Depending on your laptop, 2

Depending on your laptop, 2 monitors can be done (although you wouldn't want to stretch sk across 2 monitors). For desktop PCs, I believe most modern graphics card support at the very least 2, mostly 3/4 monitors per graphics card.
