[@-CLASSIFIED-]

is it possible to use 3 monitors but the 2 side monitors be a lower res then the center monitor? example 4k center and 2 1080p monitors flanking on either side ?

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

Hi Keegan, I think the work around would have to be downscaling the 4K monitor to 1080p to get everything to play nice. I've heard of people having issues when trying to get different monitors and resolutions to work together. Once downscaled I would hope thr setup process would then be the same as in the video. Hope that helps. Be interested to know how you do. Let us know how you get on👍🏻

I have use triple screens for a couple of years now and always had slight misalignment in AMS2, i just thought it was a Madness engine this because my numbers where correct, well it turns out i needed to set the height using the pixel pitch x 1080 before my screens would line up, not just 60cm width x 34cm height but rather 0.3114 x 1080 = 33.63cm for height. I used your method but couldn't get get the exact pixel numbers but luckily AOC has it in my monitors specs :D I've posted your video in the AMS2 forum because i think this is the best instructions and i hope Reiza sticky this video when / if they finally have a guide. Thank heaps mate.

[@2ndLastJedi]

@@TraumaTeamRacing I didnt get it pinned but have posted it in 2 separate triple screen threads in the hope it will get pinned.

Thanks for the video guide, very straight forward. Regarding quad screens I still have the issue where I need to remove the 4th screen otherwise AMS2 wont pick up the triple configuration, actually reverts to single screen.

[@gibbonenhancements]

Thank you!!! Great explanation of this completely inane triple screen setup process. I've literally been at this for days, so frustrating. Can't imagine why it has to be so complex when it's so straightforward in other sims. I'm running AMD Eyefinity bezel corrected on 3 x 1680x1050 (22") screens, which shows up as an in-game resolution of 5340x1050. This meant I had to use the bezel-corrected resolution as my ratio for calculating vertical height, so 51cm / 1780 (not 1680) * 1050, and zeroed out the in-game bezel settings. Now I can enjoy the sim at last without looking at that misalignment. Thanks again, liked and subbed (100th sub!)

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

You are very welcome! Glad it helped you out👍🏻 The camera is just the seating position. Just adjust it to how where you would like to sit in the car. It doesn't alter the 'calculated FOV'. I use where the steering wheel is in the car as a guide and adjust from there. Hope that helps 👍🏻

@@TraumaTeamRacing Hi, it's me again. I'm playing right now and the "cockpit" FOV settings in game, changes the FOV in the game, it's not only the seat position which changes.

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

Thank you for the feedback👍🏻 AMS2 does not use the hVOV directly. It will be running a formula using trigonometry to calculate this from your distance away and angle of your monitors. The angle you need to put into AMS2 is the angle of the monitors as is dictated by the tool. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the kind words mate👍🏻 I'm still surprised this is even a thing for what is becoming a very popular sim. Just checked out your post. Yours is alot more technical than what I did💪🏻. How the hell did you calculate corrected bezel width?😅 That's some impressive mathematics 🙌🏻

[@DeadBen.]

@@TraumaTeamRacing LOL…yeah…I was a bit pleased with my bezel calc if I say so myself. And if you truly want to know how: I figured, the bezel-corrected resolution is telling us the pixel count needed to cover 3x horizontal resolution plus the 2 gaps between the screens. Keeping in mind that those 2 gaps are not the bezel widths, but the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the bezels. Since we know the angles involved, can use some trigonometry to calculate the relation between those gaps and the bezel. Measuring one monitor gives the physical width for 1 pair of bezels plus 1x horizontal resolution. And will all that considered, can calculate the width of a pixel…and then the bezels widths. And in my case, to a much greater precision than able to measure with a ruler. Of course, all depending on using the same model for all 3 monitors…and correctly setting up Nvidia Surround first.

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

Not going to lie. I'm really impressed. Thanks for the detailed response💪🏻 I'm going to have to see if I can work out the maths on this one😅 Have you got a mathematics background by any chance? This sounds a little bit above A level maths😅

I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I have triple AOC 32" curved monitors (1500R curve) and using the Asus bezel free kit. I followed this and I still have vertical alignment issues, but also when I change the bezel width in-game it doesn't seem to really change anything. I went from 0 to -0.18 and it pretty much looks the same. Wonder if I need to do the bezel correction with Surround without the bezel free kit installed, then re-install it once I get that set? I know Race Beyond Matter has it working so I must be screwing up somewhere.

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

This shouldn't be happening if you have followed the guide. I have heard some users having issues after they have tweaked the files for their VR settings. You haven't done this have you?

[@TheBuzzorca]

You don’t need to use nvidia bezel correction if your putting in measurements for your bezels in game and vice versa

Just hooked up my triple screens and this video helped a lot. Thank you. But I have a question. If I disable the surround to be able to play race titles that don't support triple screens (Forza), when I come back to turn the triple screens back on I have to go through the whole process of configuring screens and bezel. Does it not save your set up?

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

It doesn't matter mate. I run surround all the time. You can just select what resolution you want to run things at within the game itself. Just select your chosen resolution and you're good to go👍🏻

[@glinx1]

I have another question. When you're showing how to measure the angle of the monitor, it looks like your 60° mark is at the center of the bezel. Is this where the 60° mark should be or are you showing that your monitor needs to be adjusted? If it's because it needs to be adjusted, should the measurement of 60° be to the front edge or back edge of the monitor? Thanks again.

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

What I have demonstrated is intentional and this is where the angle measurement should be taken from. Do what I have done in the video 👍🏻

Hey there, thank you for the kind words. From my understanding it shouldn't make a difference with the bezel free kit it just refracts the light. I believe there is an optimum angle for the screens so you might have to compromise on your FOV. I wasn't going to put it on my triples as apparently the perspex edges are quite sharp and can scratch the screen. If I scratched them it would annoy me forever😅

Hi fantastic video can I ask you a question though what if I have triples but here is mine as follows 1x 49” 5120x1440 2x 27” 2560x1440 As nividia won’t recognise the third monitor on set up I can only seem to get iracing to work without nividia but AMS 2 it’s all distorted

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

Hi there, thanks for kind words. It should recognise the different resolutions when you go into the triple monitor section in the sim. Some have mentioned issues with having a 4th monitor plugged in so make sure that is unplugged with AMS2 if you have one. Some have also mentioned issues with steam VR settings so make sure those aren't interfering. The concerning part is that the monitor is not recognised by NVIDIA which sounds like a compatibility issue. Have you tried updating the firmware on the GPU? Does the issue replicate if you try a different monitor substituted for the one that isn't recognised?

No such thing as a silly question. Important to note the FOV does not change. Your position in space in the car changes. Set it to what you feel is comfortable. As you would when driving a real car.

Hello, thank you for this interesting video. I have two questions : 1. Why count the total width of the screen with border (and not only display ?) 2. Why would calibrating via the Nvidia panel be useful if then done in AMS2? (I don't see any alignment issues when doing this only in games)

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

1. Physical width includes the bezel width. 2. Not every game allows you to adjust offset. If using NVIDIA I would advise using the software that is rendering the image in this case NVIDIA control panel to adjust alignment issues. If you don't have alignment issues you are probably not using bezel corrected resolution. Hope that helps.

[@victosab]

@@TraumaTeamRacing Thank you very much for your answer (which I did not expect so fast) 1. Indeed, on AMS 2 it is quite clear "physical width", and to tell you the truth, I tried to adapt your method to RFactor 2 and it is just written "width", which puzzles me doubt. 2. Ok so for a game that takes into account the width bezels (like AMS 2 or RFactor 2), am I understanding correctly by saying that for these two games: To. Either we use the corrected Nvidia resolution by leaving the bezel parameter at 0. b. Either we don't use the corrected Nvidia resolution, but we enter the width of the bezels in the game? Because combined the two methods seem to me to make the same correction twice (Nvidia + ingame).

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

@@victosab The alignment in NVIDIA gets the images lined up. When you enter bezel width it is telling the game where there is absent image is my understanding. With bezel corrected there should be dead space between the surround image at the bezels. Different games handle it differently and users have sometimes had varying experiences. If you are not happy I suggest trying it the other way and seeing if that makes things worse or better for you. Hope that helps 👍🏻

The camera is just the seating position. Just adjust it to how where you would like to sit in the car. It doesn't alter the 'calculated FOV'. I use where the steering wheel is in the car as a guide and adjust from there. Hope that helps 👍🏻

​@@TraumaTeamRacing Cheers for the quick reply. It definitely changes the perspective a bit more than that though. Try a car like the McLaren F1 with it default 70, the wing mirrors are not fully visible from the correct seating position until you lower cockpit camera fov into the 50s. It looks much better when set correctly

From the FOV calculator with my measurements I get a single screen FOV of 44°, and a triple of 135°. Input all the values to AMS2 and restarted, all 3 screens working and edges seem to like up but the FOV is too large. Go into the settings and the cockpit FOV still shows my original 52° setting not 44° or 135° as calculated. If I manually change the setting to 44° then everything looks correct. Not sure if this is making any more sense than my last explanation but I have adjusted my distance to the screen and recalculated the values, doesn’t make any difference what I type into the triple settings page I still have to manually go to camera settings and set the FOV to the new value as it retains the previous setting.

All other games gives you the settings to input like screen angles, and distance from monitor and that outputs your FOV for you but in ETS2 you can still change your FOV.
