Triple Screen Discussion

Cool... why does the center screen appear smaller? Any shots in-car?

 

I think its because I've used the super-wide photo mode on my phone, side screens are set around 45'

 

Awesome , now load up Mount Panorama , Porsche Cup (single series), rain with x48 time start at 5am with 30 cars and have the best sim racing time of your life
Ive been doing this over and over again ! Managing to get the Ai to 97 % 85% aggression ! Freaking amazing !

 

@mark beszant

Could you share your FOV and camera settings please ? I would like to see my wheel a little more but impossible to get that without getting the bucket ears in my sight view.

 

flat eric!!! - nice setup

 

Wow! Great combination

 

Did my setting help ?

 

@mark beszant

Just checked it last night and nope i just noticed that i can't change my FOV because i am using the ACC Triple Monitor function and Nvidia Surround.

So i am entering my screens sizes and angles and FOV is calculated automaticly. If i set everything manually it is too much "distorded" for my likings and i miss all my entry point, apex, etc...

But thanks anyway.

 

This is my triple screen configuration, with bezels corrected with nvidia surround (5904x1080). I don't have overlapping screens, so the bezels are about 20mm. I don't know if this can help you with anything, but hey, I leave it here.
My POV:

 

I turned off triple screen in ACC to adjust my FOV then back to triples to set my angles and such ! It seems ACC leave them all at 54 degrees if just left in triples !

 

The FOV setting is ignored when using the triple screen function isn’t it?

 

Yep. The FOV in triple rendering mode is controlled by setting the correct monitor width and distance from screens. That's why the FOV setting is greyed out (you can see it in the screenshot above), because it's inactive. It works the same is in AC1.

 

Yes FOV is inactive when using triple screen function of ACC. The FOV is calculated automaticly so the only way to change your inside view is to cheat the system by changing your distance from screen value.

In @mark beszant you can see that he is using a 550mm distance value while you can see on his rig picture that he is probably more in the 900/1000 mm away from his screens.

I tried to do that, but it felt weird for me nad was missing my corners and also braking points i guess.

 

I was thinking the same thing about the distance! Not sure why not input correctly the numbers and also turn off the virtual wheel and lower screens so eyes are level with the screen centers.

 

I found this to suit my view point of what I see when sat in a real car.

If I use the correct distance I felt like I was sat on the dash board, far too close.

 

Just checked and my eyes are level with screen centre.

I'm 6.3ft tall. My seat and wheel are at same level that of a real car.

I set the distance to 1000mm but all I see is a oversized dash in front of my eyes. I do wish I could use my rift S for Acc but it's like playing with bad eyesight

 

Question: I have upgraded to an RTX 2070Super and I have now the option of upgrading to an i5-9600KF or an i7-9700K. (EDIT)

I saw a video comparing the two processor on the same rig, with ACC: the 9700K was getting more FPS and higher GPU utilisation. Rather strange because in neither case the CPU nor the GPU was the bottleneck. But that video was shot at 1080p.

In triple screen, especially with the new proper triple screen, in ACC, do you think, for the same level of quality, I would get more GPU bound than CPU bound?

To make myself clear: is the 9600K going to be stressed much more in triple than in single screen with the same quality settings, than the 9700K?

There's £150 between the two processor, and I'd rather save money obv. but I also don't want to be bottlenecked either...

 

I'm still running a i7 4770k with a gtx1080 on 3x40" TVs.. seems fine to me even with a full grid.
