Triple Screens for Sim Racing - Are Triples Worth It? | My Opinion

[@anonym8951]

Yes they are with it 👍 VR is fantastic , for short races…

[@dylanmosley3030]

Nice video with a lot of good points and personal perspectives. I’m glad you bring VR into the talk. I race on a big TV and VR and perhaps some day I will join you with triples! Best of luck!

[@scorps0326]

TV's are a great option these days as they are 60hz - 120hz and come in big sizes! Also they are getting more cost effective. The only issue is seeing your side windows which for me was a main purpose for getting triples.

Awesome video. First, thanks a lot for the Display Magic info, what a time saver for me. I was gonna write my own screen manager, and that woulda been a lot of work (dealing with Windows API is a pain). Also I agree with you on VR. Love it, but my big issue with VR is when you put the headset on, you are completely removed from the world around you. It is an amazing experience, but one that disconnects you from your reality which sometimes isn't ideal. I currently use a 49", but you have really got me interested in triples now.

[@scorps0326]

Glad the video helped! Congrats on the nice setup. ✌

[@ryanakahoward5246]

I got triples just the other week and i got everything for less than 350 USD. Display port to 2 HDMI splitter, 3 100hz 27 inch monitors, and the triple screen mount. found it all on Amazon. the monitors were on a massive discount tho and "like new". but even the 27 inch monitors are a huge step up from my (now dead and dim) 37 inch curved widescreen.

[@scorps0326]

Congrats, that's a steal. Enjoy it!

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

Looks like you've got your set up tuned nicely mate 👌🏻 Glad I was able to help you on your journey 💪🏻 Keep up the racing and welcome to Team Trip' 😎

[@scorps0326]

Appreciate your great videos mate, seriously helped me make the decision on triples because I was concerned about the setup. Look forward to your new content!

[@TraumaTeamRacing]

@@scorps0326 You are very welcome mate! Glad I was part of the decision for you to haemorrhage more money on sim racing 😅

Hi nice video !!! What gpu you are running for the triple ?

[@scorps0326]

Msi Nvidia 10gb 3080 :)

[@deesee76]

Nice 👍 video. i thought i was insane - I also went to bunnings to mount my 2 x 32 inch on either side (equivalent to four 32 inch 4K display). Main display is a Samsung Neo G9 which is double 4K (7680x2160). always loved cars but not much with driving games, then when i bought a meta quest 3 it got my attention. If you love VR, go get pimax crystal. literally it’s sharp and very clear. But there is no way I can do a 30min race using it not because of motion sickness or sweat, but it’s just not comfortable having something on your face for a long period of time. Now with my current rig I’m about to ditch my samsung neo g9 57 inch centre display 7680x2160) with another 32 inch 4K 144hz so i am not tempted buying another GPU. 15360x2160 is taxing on the 4090 but with DLSS, i am surprised how well it runs around 80-120fps depending on how many cars are on the track. i crank everything to max.

[@scorps0326]

Insane machine man congrats.

What was the name of the KZbin channel you mentioned at 18:50?

[@BoxeMag]

32" screens ?

[@scorps0326]

Yes 32" aoc cq32g3se to be exact

[@EmanHowells]

So I've been playing with my G9 49 ultra wide for a year and a half now. This week I bought 3 34-In 1440p monitors thinking it was normal monitors but I got the box and realized that they're also ultra wide so tomorrow I might just try to put two on the sides of the 49 in and see how it goes

[@scorps0326]

You can do that, but it can be difficult to setup that way. You also lose vertical real estate which can be restricting. Its also a LOT of pixels. Hopefully you have a beefy pc. I attempted adding 2 x 27 to the side of my 49 and it did not work very well, also took up a huge amount of space.

[@scorps0326]

Try your way, for sure. But knowing what I know now, I would take them back and get 3 x 32 16:9 monitors non ultrawide or larger. 😉

[@EmanHowells]

@@scorps0326 it was way yo big soi set then up as the 3 34in ultrawide everything started up fine but now I'm finding out I have to go do all this stuff in the files to get it going on. iRacing

[@EmanHowells]

@@scorps0326 Just an update. I got the 34-in ultra wides going and it takes up a lot of space But I'm liking it so far. I dropped it down to 1080P for more performance But I feel like I want to update my graphics card now but so far it's pretty good

[@scorps0326]

@@EmanHowells whatever your happy with mate! Nice work.

[@AL.farmlife]

I wish to have the space but I don't have so stuck with VR

[@scorps0326]

VR is still great!

[@Marty-416]

Hi, what spec is your pc powering the monitors and what fps do you get in Iracing, I currently have a 49” and thinking of going triples

[@scorps0326]

I have a 5800x3d with a 3080 10gb. I went from a 49 to triples, Triples take up substantially more space but if you have the space... it's very much worth it in my opinion. If you don't have the space, VR may work. With the latest Iracing update as of today, I need to run roughly medium settings and get around 90 - 120 fps with a full grid, about 60fps with heavy rain and grid.

[@davannagle450]

Nvidea should bring back 3d so the cockpit has depth for racing and flight sims!

[@themadnes5413]

Im on the fence, i have a 55" TV set at 120hz right now for my simrig. Play 98% only Rally games, so tripples are maybe not worth it. But i would love a 21:9 50"+... sadly theres none :/ Also have a Pico 4 for VR, but i cant be bothered to set it up every time. I know if it takes to long to setup and fiddle around with it, i wont do it at all.

[@scorps0326]

Yeah for rally, I can't really recommend triples. It doesn't make as much of a difference compared to my 49. VR is amazing for rally, my quest 2 is heaps of fun in DR 2.0. Can be fiddly tho at times. One update can make you set it all up again. 🙃 Triples take time to setup but once done its been great.

[@Cloxxki]

I feel like buying a really good TV as my first to use in almost 2 decades. If road racing and Beam NG and maybe rally kind of work on that it might delay the inevitable :)

[@mannyg1896]

I'm in the exact same boat right now; coming from a 4k 55" OLED and considering triples. I play mostly rally as well. What did you end up deciding?

[@Cloxxki]

Do games and PCs exist that can run the G9 57" at 2160P at >100 FPS? That might be quite the experience as well albeit not quite there for wraparound view. I'll be new getting in so will probably start out on a large TV (yet to buy) or a desk mounted 49/57" G9 (yet to buy). Triples, maybe down the line, seems hassle for impatient me. Also, hoping to declutter rather than cram a sim rig into my new (very own building) apartment. Some alien drivers seem to suffice with 49" but I can see the value of extra immersion and better side/mirror view for sure.

[@scorps0326]

You can be fast with any equipment, it's more about what your used too. Yeah a 4090 plus high end CPU will net you high frames on that 57". It's more about the resolution, than the size of the screen 🙂. Triples definetly take up space, way more depth than my 49 did. Congrats on the new building!

[@Cloxxki]

@@scorps0326 I did state resolution :) You can't get other 57s at the moment I think. Pricey but should be so glorious for work if I ever kick it off a rig... Might even get it for the desk to treat myself. 47 meagre years are over!

[@extremekiwi28]

I’ve been considering 27” triples as I’m tight on space and already have one monitor. Do you think 27” will provide enough fov to see the passenger mirror? Monitors will be set up right behind my csl dd wheelbase. Thanks

[@thatmikeguy761]

youll be fine most of the time i have 27's in pretty much a v shape because of space and it covers to the halo's of my seat some models you cannot see them proper but that might be the model so it wil be the same with 32's etc i do want to go to 32's someday myself but i would say its more of a immersion thing then a need

[@scorps0326]

Yes with 27s you will be able to see your side mirrors. You may miss some of your rear view mirror as the vertical view is less but depends on your fov. 27s are still fine and are still the choice for many. Maybe consider VR aswell if space is an issue and depending how much you race ✌

[@danieldorn9989]

ASUS also sells kits for that, called: ASUS ROG Bezel-Free Kit ABF01 Universal Multi-Monitor Setup with Optical Micro-structures Easy Assembly (Set of 2),CLEAR

[@scorps0326]

Thanks man, yeah that kit is so expensive. I've already got the film from a LCD TV. I'm just trying to build / find a mounting solution that will work 😊

[@christophorus9235]

@@scorps0326 I'm putting my triples on motion, so for structural strength I'm gonna use 36" woodworking clamps. I'm gonna add a couple 3D printed brackets with soft foam that'll span the tv/monitor gap and hold the woodworking clamps in place. I'll also use these brackets to hold the bezel delete kits. Bit overkill if you don't have motion but a fairly inexpensive option for your bezel kits.

@@christophorus9235 triples on motion would be epic! You would definetly want to make sure it's structurally strong 💪. Goodluck with the build!
