Triple Screen Discussion

I've looked at that benchmark, and I think we don't have the same reading of the results.

Yes the GPU seems to be "only" able to achieve 130 fps average give or take in 4K DLSS Performance mode.

Were I would tend to disagree, is that at the start of the race in that benchmark, it's not 10 fps difference with 5800X, it's 30 fps the 5800X3D will allow to get the most of the 3070 from start to finish when other CPUs will not.

Now I understand that you may not be interested in 100% smooth race start. But at the start it was more like 70 fps for 3600 90/100 for 5800X and 125/130 for 5800X3D from the green flag till mid of first lap.

Also, the difference could be bigger than that in reality if the benchmark video is based from a replay file as the CPU would have more work to do.

 

Yeah, it's clear to me the X3D brings something to the table the 5600x/5800x doesn't. But in my opinion only worth the money for high end systems and specific needs, like lots of AI.

I don't think he used a replay file btw. Looks like actual gameplay to me.

 

Epic settings here with 50 Ai in heavy rain! A certain upgrade and well work it in ACC if FPS are needed.

Those are some great results. This test however again doesn't reflect the results an average system with settings that people actually use will get with this CPU. Let alone a tripple screen setup.

Don't let these tests with super high end hardware, super low resolution and very specific and uncommon CPU burdensome settings fool you into thinking otherwise.

All tests I have seen done with more common hardware and settings people actually use, do not generate anywhere near these kind of gains.

 

Well for me on my 3080 the 5800x3D would help me gain more fps than 85 with my current 1000k and epic settings at 5760x1080.

 

Something I'd like to point out as well is that FSR and DLSS are helping the GPU with scaling, but at the cost of higher CPU overhead, so having a more powerful CPU is helpful to max out your GPU at higher resolution than it would normally be able to chew... (triples e.g.)

FSR is tested by Dan Suzuki on iRacing on triple 4k, and when you're CPU bound, FSR or DLSS aren't giving you more FPS (reported by a couple of persons already in the forum on ACC)

 

Can confirm, DLSS or FSR do nothing for me other than down grade the image. Im fully CPU limited at 5760x1080 Epic with my 10600k.

 

I am not using physical triples, but ultrawide (5120x1440) with triple screen option. I did cpu change to 5800x3d and results are positive.

I posted my results to CPU bench topic.
The ACC CPU Benchmark Thread

 

I just stumbled on this news. If this is true and the price is right, this one might make an upgrade to a X3D worth while for mid range systems as well.

Hello,
I recently switched from a sigle Odyssey G9 49" to a triple screen setup (3x32")
Since I had no idea where to start to set the view, I followed a "race beyond matter" video where he showed the values he used with an identical configuration to mine.
By entering the same values, my view is moved far forward, almost on the bonnet! I understand that the configuration of the monitors will not be identical to mine, but damn, I do not understand what causes such a big difference.
To get a decent view, I have to set a negative distance in the Camera section between -22 and -24 but this seems to me to compress the image too much. What am I doing wrong?
Here are my settings:

Triple Screen: ENABLED

[TRIPLE & WIDE SCREEN]
Distance from screens: 540mm
Screen width: 810mm (32")
Bezel 5mm
Side screen angle: 60°

[CAMERA]
Height: 2,4
Lateral: 0
Distance -22
FOV is grayed out
Pitch: 5.3°

 

Your screen width is wrong at least, should probably be somthing closer to 70cm. Just use the correct measurements (width, angle and distance) and that should do it, not much more to it.

 

Oh, I thought I had to insert the diagonal of the monitor. Now I have modified screen width with 695mm and checked the distance from the screen which is 650mm. Now it's even worse because I had to increase the distance in CAMERA section to -44, but the image looks compressed like before. It's not a big problem, I just wanted to understand if you too have such high negative values in "distance" and if it's a normal thing. Thank You

 

I have different positive values depending on the car and never had to use a negative value.
Don't know if you use Nvidia Surround for setting up the tripple monitor. Maybe the resolution in Nvidia Surround and the resolution in-game is different? Should be 7680x1440 for both.
Or try setting the distance from screen to your actual distance from screen and see if that makes a difference.

 

My resolution is set at 7660x1440 in both Windows and ACC with bezel correction applied.
650mm is the acutal distance to my monitor. Could it be due to "Resolution Scale"? I have to check what value it is set to

 

Don't think resolution scale have anything to do with it.
You could also try to delete some ini files (make a backup!) and let the game re-create them with default settings.

Q: Sudden poor performance after an update
A: Sometimes there are old configuration files that need to be reset. The safest way to do this is by renaming the %LOCALAPPDATA%\AC2 folder. Usually, this folder is hidden, to browse it:

1. Open File Explorer/Windows Explorer;
2. Type %LOCALAPPDATA% into the address bar and hit enter;
3. Rename the AC2 folder

 

I'll give it a try tonight, thank You for your help!

 

After renaming the AC2 folder nothing changed, so I decided to pull the trigger and reinstall the game. Now it seems that the driver cam is OK. Dash cam is still too zoomed for me but I'm trying to drive using the driver cam and it seems fine

 

Built my first simrig last weekend. Initially thought I would go for one ultrawide.. but decided to go triple monitor. Ordered 3 x AOC Q27G2E monitors that will arrive tomorrow.
This is my first triple monitor setup so I hope I can setup everything properly.

 

Apparently, If it's a fresh new install, You only need to insert the dimensions of the screen, the distance from your eyes and the angle. ACC will set the FOV for You

 

Thanks! And the best angle I have to put my monitors in, is based on the online FOV calculator?
So for me this would mean:
