Triple Screen Discussion

So you are a troll and no real simracer..

 

Hooooo Boy...... you made my night ! Thanks

Come by Iracing or RF2 one day... only if you have what it takes.

 

Real men do not use ACC

















They do post on ACC forum though.
:rollsafe:

 

Just came across a repo containing UE4 engine changes regarding true multi view rendering:
https://github.com/fracturedbyte/UE4-MultiViewRendering

Don't know how far with a similar attempt Kunos is internally, but maybe this is some help to them.

 

Did say it was experimental and use at own risk !!

 

Thats true and a general thing about getting triple screen rendering working in UE4 based projects. Its a different approach to the existing "easy way" of how its solved in ACC currently, where only one view with a large FOV is stretched across three screen, which results in the distortions people are complaining about.

This approach renders three different views - like most other sims are doing it - with the mentioned restrictions of having shadow issues and must have three equal monitor resolutions - where the last might be not be a big stopper, as this should be the case for a proper triple screen setup anyway.

I thought about mentioned it for the devs to have a look, as I don't know if they have even considered implementing this approach up to this point to tackle the mentioned rendering issues resulting from this.

 

Unreal 4.23 released today change anything?

 

Just read the changelog / release notes:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Support/Builds/ReleaseNotes/4_23/index.html

 

I have read, but I am not a programmer to be sure about changes in ndisplay.

 

ndisplay has absolutely nothing to do with triple screen support.


"nDisplay Overview
Describes how multiple computers work together in an nDisplay rendering network."
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Rendering/nDisplay/Overview/index.html

 

One application instance that renders to multiple display devices.
With this option, you run a single instance of your Unreal Engine application on your computer, but you set it up to render multiple separate rectangles of the scene's 3D space into different areas within a large window. You then use a technology such as NVIDIA Mosaic or NVIDIA Surround to split up that single large window and render each separate area on a different display devices.
In this scenario, the benefit of using nDisplay in conjunction with Mosaic or Surround is that you can render viewports that accurately match the physical arrangements of your different monitors, even when those monitors do not lie along the same plane. However, all viewports are being rendered by the same instance of Unreal Engine, so you can't benefit from having multiple graphics cards installed on the same computer.

 

@Stimpy76

I am kinda confused... at first i would consider that you can finaly handle/render 3 differents viewports with 1 UE4 instance running....

I will read and dig further but i am always cautious with UE4 functionalities.... i am quite sure it must be really taxing in ressources compared to in house engines like Kunos did with their first AC engine.

Edit:

What's bugging me is that line: "Every nDisplay setup has a single master computer, and any number of additional computers."

If you look at the full layout you see that Cluster D always need to be connected to a Master Node, so in the end you always need at lesat 2 computers to run 3 viewports rendering. Master + Cluster

Edit 2 :

nDisplay must be totaly forget as this is definitely a network/node render system, hence the N in nDisplay

You always nedd at least 1 master PC and 1 cluster pc in your network so this will never be a solution for us triple users. Just look at the configuration section of UE4 ndisplay or quick start guide and you will understand:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Rendering/nDisplay/Configuration/index.html

 

This blonde has some good advice

 

Does she sing about not reading threads you're not interested in?

 

My resolution is in my sig.

I want it as much as everyone else <3

 

I am even wondering if any of you read the different posts lol

So once again:

nDisplay must be totaly forget as this is definitely a network/node render system, hence the N in nDisplay

You always nedd at least 1 master PC and 1 cluster pc in your network so this will never be a solution for us triple users. Just look at the configuration section of UE4 ndisplay or quick start guide and you will understand:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Rendering/nDisplay/Configuration/index.html

 

The fact that this thread is over 50 pages long, and still counting, says enough about the importance of triplescreen implementation imo.

 

If you say the same thing over and over again enough times, it eventually does become true you know....

 

Thanks for the updates. I'll check back in three months to see if anything's changed.

(this is truly quite pitiful)

 

Could a 2080ti run 3 x 1440p monitors above 60 FPS? If so could it run on highish settings?
