Posted November 3, 2016 Are triple monitor setups for driving sims still relevant today. I was thinking of going in this direction since i play mostly driving and fps games. Is it more hassle than it worth for driving games. A GTX 1070 will be driving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 3, 2016 In driving games ofc, its cheaper to get 1080p ips monitors than a VR headset AOC i2481FXH or any of the dell ultrasharp series would be nice FPS <3 Flick G1 Review Nixeus Revel Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 3, 2016 I'v used triple monitor setups in the past, and i must admit apart from vr, its about as immersive as you can get. So its up to you, a 1070 will run 3 1080p 16:9 (Or if your crazy 3 21:9) monitors at 60fps no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt Rally and Euro Trucker 2 would look awesome in a triple monitor setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that dirty rally does, not sure about euro trucker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 3, 2016 been running multimonitors for ages most driving and flight games support it for fps games some do and some dont some need a fix(there are fixers out there for many games and can link you some and actually the creators will look at unsupported game for a donation) or file tweak right now I run 5760x1080@144hz with 2x1080p monitor above it driven by 970sli and 650ti I may have to lower setting or resolution down to 4800x900 at times but really no issues and for bezels if you dont mind looking out a bay window you can get use to it and you can use bezel correction I suggest for fps games dont use bezel correction cuz you might miss out on something you cant see for this you can overlap/tuck outer monitors behind center monitor to have just one monitors bezel only to worry about if any other questions feel free to ask here or in pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 3, 2016 Triple monitors are worth it. Outside of the game, you will have much more real-estate for productive tasks. Inside of the game, driving simulators / first person shooters are amazing on the three displays. Dual monitor displays are not worth it for gaming in my opinion. Everyone I have seen using dual monitors end up playing on one monitor and having the second monitor display other random things. The bezels in the center of your view cause more issues than it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course this will not be the only game I be playing. Novice question but if I have the center monitor as the main monitor, can games play on that monitor in full screen without going on the other screens.

Posted November 3, 2016 not sure on high settings dont have the game yet and yes you can use one monitor also just by changing resolution in game this will keep other monitors black or turning off surround and other monitors can be used but Ill say sometimes turning off and on surround can be odd, I believe there is a hotkey you can do to switch on and off I just keep everything with surround on cuz I have 2 other monitors too if I need to view something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
