Don’t forget to include the ‘digital’ bezel. That’s where I came unstuck. It’s the black line at the edge of the screen. We were lied to about the thin bezels!

[@janiskornis6789]

I need to sum up the all bezels or specify the bezels of each separately?

[@rover1374]

@@janiskornis6789 just each bezel include that digital black line as part of it

[@paderborner5213]

I only looked at small parts of the video - but I think 1 more detail is worth mentioning: "Technically", you cannot freely "pick" the angle between your screens. They depend on the distance that you sit away from the screen. For 32'' screens at 59-60cm, the optimal angle actually is 60°, which Dan has set up quite nicely for himself - it will also give you almost a full 180° FOV. That's why 32'' are the "sweet spot" for triple setups: You can place them over your wheel hub, at an acceptable distance and get a full 180° FOV just by obeying "the math" :)

[@Simlife101]

@Paderborner5212 the issue for some with that is the bezel free kit requires 50 degree angle and not everyone can get their screens the correct distance for that angle.

[@Simlife101]

@Dan Suzuki Your a legend. I literally asked for this a week or two ago because your old video is out of date as the ini file looks different now. Really appreciate it Dan thank you

[@erbo632789]

Danke Dan, du bist genial!!✌

[@kitmilo]

This update is brilliant.

[@wullets]

This was perfect! Thanks!!

[@malbster]

The one huge downside to surround for me - it (nvidia drivers?) would randomly reset the configuration and I would have to go in and set up surround again. This would happen at least once a week... "Oh, my displays are back to 3 independent screens.. I'll just go and configure surround again". Eventually I cracked it, and disabled surround, set up 3 displays, and iracing in bordleress window mode, and have never had an issue again (I really preferred surround though)

[@Brennenm97]

There's a program made by someone in the sim community called display magician Just started using it and surround never loses settings and I swap between on and off with the click of a button

[@GoneWalkabout]

Great stuff, thanks Dan!

[@xatosch]

Good video, especially because you do not, like many others, stick to the mathematical FOV, but also set it larger, and according to personal feeling :-) Since I have Triples I fluctuate between a FOV of 190 to 200 degrees. If it gets too "weird", I push the virtual seat forward with "X". What I miss are a few words about the "warping" that automatically appears with Triples if the eye level does not correspond exactly to a "Shift Horizon" of 0%. There are so many wrong formulas and information on the web about this....

[@chemitaxis]

Excellent video but I miss a POV from your eyes to view how the FOV change and view how you see the monitors, mayber recording with a phone could be enough, thanks. Great job, you have my like!

[@robcampbell6099]

You can do it in seconds yourself. Just open a session. drive 200ft. stop the car and go back to the pits. Go into the replay and select cockpit view and pasue. Then open your graphics tab, select monitors and type in whatever ## you want in fov. Exit out of the graphics tab and back to the replay and it changes it instantly, you can fool around with it until you get it how you like it.

[@sloeriberacing]

Hi Dan, do you have any idea how to correctly setup triples (in iRacing and other sims) but with different aspect ratio screens ? I have a 49" G9 as center screen (5120x1440) and 2 G5's on the sides (both 2560x1440). Totalling 10240x1440. so far so good, i can get it up and running in a window spanned across the 3 screens. But what i'm struggling with is that the "bend" where it thinks i goes from the middle screen to the side screen is offset to the wrong position. It is like the 10240x1440 is divided in 3 equal parts instead of Different parts.

[@DanSuzuki]

You still have to run 15360x1440 to make this work

[@ChadBlock.ThePorscheGuy]

would you run I-racing settings as a single curved screen with a 103" total width? or run it as triples (they only have options for 3 curved or 3 flat- not 1 curved with 2 flat etc? I am currently running at 10240 x1440 with a -2560 offset in the Iracing monitorDLL- it looks good- but I feel like the side panels are a little off- curious on your input @@DanSuzuki

[@stephandeboer5385]

Did it work? I have a 34'' with 2 27'' monitors @@DanSuzuki

[@kitmilo]

I run run the same. I would be interested to know what you ended up doing

[@sloeriberacing]

@@kitmilo as Dan mentioned, running it at a resolution of 15360x1440 works for iracing. in Triple screen mode in iracing. Basically rendering too much, but this way you have a proper view, rather than having distortions in the wrong place. Works perfectly here.

[@f1o7x9]

Thanks for another awesome video. Quick question you think a 4080 gpu would be a worth upgrade over my 3090gpu?

[@amigoz3201]

Nice vid, but for me nvidia surround and g-sync/freesync on enabled, middle monitor turns off for 1 second, cables are good 2k 240hz, and when i put bot via surround but via monitor dx file runs perfect. Issue i play rally games and i need to put nvidia surround for iR tripple setup via dxmonitor 11 file ( thats means not in surround mode) Dan have you enabled g-sync in surrond and also to check button below gsunc setting? You have to check it as only innthis ways freesync/gsync works.

[@MikeWass1]

Anyway to move the in game menus to a different screen either to the left or the right? I have a dashboard and it covers the menu options on the bottom.

[@jobkinderen8882]

Would like to see a triple setup guide for rennsport and dirt rally2. 😂

[@acauthan]

Thanks for the video. I have never been sure about iRsidekick. Do you just have to have the program open for iRacing to use it? Does it use the settings automatically if it is open?

[@aureliocarneiro1016]

It would be good an comparison between sorround and not soround. Because without sourround you have more fps Not everyone have an 4090 😅

[@themaverickofmotivation2311]

very sad that i have to be the guy who tells u that this is by far not everything i need to know about tripples, i need to know allot more, like what gpu one needs, and if tripples use 3times the gpu power or if it only renders ones and shows it on all 3monitors''???

[@justinrehm6839]

in regards to using the modern FOV calculator thing at the start to set the dimensions - would this change if you were running curved? ideally the length end to end should be the same, but the angle between the monitors would be different no?

[@DanSuzuki]

In theory ... yes, but the difference will be very negligible, I think the impact of your head moving while driving is probably bigger than the "errors" you get from curved screens :D

[@willdarling1]

@@DanSuzuki it is a shame iRacing still has not included the 'angle' for 3-curved screens. It is negligible, but when I set curved for my middle screen, it does look better. Wish we could have it for all three.

[@ericbaker2025]

If you do the triple screens without the nVidia surround is it less stress on the video card itself...and if not, why not just use the nVidia surround?

[@DanSuzuki]

if you can, always use surround. it's not more resource intensive, but some scenarios dont work with surround (streaming with capture card cloning for example)

[@elionhunter]

Hi, als neuling auf der Suche nach einer lösung bin ich gerade auf dein video gestoßen. Würde gerne auf tripple aufstocken, doch bevor ich 2 falsche Monitore kaufe wollte ich schauen ob es überhaupt möglich ist, bisher sieht es nicht so aus das ich 1x 49 und 2x 34 zoll für iracing zum laufen bekomme. Dein video ist nur für 3 identische monitore oder und mit der methode würde ich es für mich nicht hinbekommen oder für 1x 49 und 2x 34. Ach schade schon zu beginn des sim Hobbys gehts ja schonmal gut los, aber danke für dein video

[@GTRaceAce]

Hi Dan, I had the triples set with your old video and it worked just fine. Now I am trying to set using this new video and I just cat get it right. I saw your video many times, step by step but it wont show the 3 monitors, just the center one. Am I missing something? Anyone that can help its appreciated. I have a 4060TI 3 1920x1080 27" monitors. Tks (It works fine with your directions for ACC)

[@VenonBs2]

Does anyone know how to help me with Iracing? I do everything correctly, it opens the three screens normally, but when it finishes loading it returns to a single screen, and the file returns to the original as if I were using a monitor

[@raumbord]

What is the reason or advantage for editing the text file to set the border, screen size and resolution? Is there any technical difference when I edit these values directly in the iracing menu? Because I do it in the menu, and get sometimes problems with the resolution or window mode (I am using Nvidia surround)

[@regibson23]

Thanks for this. Anyone have issues enabling SMP? I have a 1080ti and if I enable SMP, my side screens go berserk if I set FOV higher than 147 and the max FOV it allows is 160

Do you use nvidia surround?

Can I do these iracing settings without having to disable nvidia surround? I go back and forth between iracing and f1 23/24 and I hate the non nvidia surround look on the f1 games, gives me 4 tires in the front lol

Yes you can, exactly the same procedure as described here, only the offset most likely will be 0

If i do it exactly like this and start a test session in iracing then it will still be on 1 monitor

[@autobran1912]

Which graphics card do I need to run a triple 24” 144hz on Iracing? Do you know if a 3060ti works fine on it ?

[@stewsaquarium1397]

Hi Dan, I have a 34 inch Samsung g5 ultra wide 3440x1440. I am thinking of buying two 27 inch Samsung G5 2k monitors. Will these work as a triple with iracing? Do I just set my resolution to 3440+2560+2560?

[@Rene_Bo]

Hi Dan/everyone. Dont you ever have troubles with Surround f*cking up the setup? Sometimes my surround forces my triples to be the same resolution as my Grid Porsche DDU, which is quite annoying. It would be nice with at alternative that does the same, but is more stable. Do you guys know of any? :-)

[@Roberto_Santarelli]

so all the procedure you show is to configure the triple screen without surround? for surround just go to the nvidia control panel and select from there then it does everything automatically without having to follow any of the steps you show in the video, right?

[@DanSuzuki]

It’s the same for surround or no surround on iRacing

[@Simlife101]

The reason is because some don't want too use Nvidia surround as it can be a nightmare also some like too play games on their middle screen and use the others for something else but that would mean you have to keep disabling and rre enabling surround this way Dan shows you means only iracing will start in triples

[@GusTavo-gx8nf]

Did you find a fix? I’m having the same issue

[@ducebigalow8834]

@GusTavo-gx8nf yes and no. I found out that having 1 different size monitor isn't idea, but there is away to adjust the numbers to make it work. However you lose a bit of the main screen because you have to set it up using the 2 other screens settings. It is working for me but I am finding that having the other two doesn't actually help me much and I am considering going back to just 1 monitor. There is some information out there about setting up 2 different size monitors I just can't remember. It was on KZbin though. Hope this helps a bit.

[@everythinggaming7938]

Is 27 inch triples too small? Many people recommend 32s

They need to be the same size and resolution, otherwise you need to do some trickery that I wouldn’t recommend

[@DanSuzuki]

Yeah, unfortunately most simracing titles just are not up to modern standards :( you can trick 2 smaller monitors to work with your 34“ - but for that you need to actually render a triple 34“ image which can be very taxing since the sim can’t utilize modern hardware (another problem)
