Having used the SRWE for a while , (and its been great) This Resize Raccoon is far easier to set up and use , Thank you Dan for posting this , I just wish there was a way to use my RRE without the view going to stretch mode instead of resized mode. If you know a way i can do this , please please post it. Thanks again for all your awesome work :)

It's great the community has made apps like this. I'm surprised no one has made a tool to make it so triples can be adjusted for in games like WRC or DR2.0 that don't support triples more than just the stretched image.

That's hilarious. Just come across you on twitch driving the new WRC. Came across to youtube and you were the first channel recommended. Subscribed!

Keep up the great work and videos , awesome job !

[@sszynaa]

In the beggining with Resize Ratchet I had issues with EA WRC, the image was stretched from one monitor to three, sometimes it flickered, switched to the main one, threw to the desktop etc. I thought it was useless but I ran Ratchet with administrator rights (and set borderless fulscreen in game) and suddenly it started working great, all screens has good resolution (but game shows still only single 1440p), performance is nice. Thanks for pointing me this program because it is fast and easy to use. I had been fighting with surround for a week and slowly gaved up. The only thing missing is the offset configuration for the bezels. Nvidia surround is nothing but problems in my case, first I had to add the correct resolutions and refresh rates in DRU, then it didn't always want to start, when it did, after restart it always returned to 3*FHD and 60Hz and it wouldn't even turn off without combination 😉 All best for all 😊

[@angelorusso9345]

Thanks a lot for this video! I was dreading having to set up triple screens for each game

[@kevanhandley7521]

Dan how does WRC look stretched without the triple support? Also do you prefer this program to surround and why please?

[@anjo2]

You missed an important detail, it also works for people that only have 2 screens, the setup will be identically as triple screens, if you share like in discord it will show the triple screen but you only see it in 2 screens (at least you can see one of the sides)

[@KyleDiaz-b9r]

Unfortunately, doesnt work. 1. REsizing has been stretching my screens instead of doing proper resolution. 2. Mouse is offset. I cant accurately click anything

[@heelandtoeknee]

Hey Dan, when you say it’s stretched fine for WRC, you don’t mean the side screens distortion is corrected, right?! Besides reshade tools, I haven’t come across an app to correct that, when there is no real triple screen support ingame. Maybe you know more?!

[@femolevsky]

Just dropped stacks for a triple setup and simrig, this will come in handy. Thank you. Do you think triple monitors help improve driving and laptimes? How does having a better FOV help push you up the grid? I was already pacing top 5, but I need to get my SR and ELO up with better consistency. I love your videos man, great help.

[@MikaTarkela]

Thanks man. This makes everything so much faster 😍 Edit: I noticed it doesn't quite work with F1 23. When it spreads the image across 3 screens it's very low res for some reason.

[@brettswiftvideos]

I can't seem to use this for a 1080p setup and ACC. I try to adjust the values and I can get it full screen, however it keeps flickering back and forth and showing the task bar. This is with the process watcher turned OFF. It does it every few hundred milliseconds. So currently I can't replace SRWE with this.

[@Karl_Swain]

Looks like they've just updated it to allow for fixed borderless mode in ACC. Great work Dan.

[@kenofransman6909]

Can you advise how? I'm still getting borders

[@NewoNZ]

Is this something you would use as an alternative to using nVidia Surround? I'm just trying to understand why you might need something like this as I typically have surround set up and turned on at all times. I don't think I've played a game yet that doesn't work with nVidia Surround except maybe Richard Burns Rally?

[@BrokenWheelYT]

Some users who have more thn 120hz triple monitor setups had issiue with surround and have to edit CRU settings to get real hz with surround. Its more easier thn Surround and dont have to edit CRU settings for who does not knowledge to how to do. Except that some users have issue when they upgrade nvidia drivers all settings on Surround reset it self even you select custom install and disable Surround Phsyx section. So it does not mean you may have not problem with surround but ppl does. For me I have triple 165 hz for my rig and 42 Lg oled for my single screen games, trust me some times surround fckd up if you use 4 monitor setup.

[@NewoNZ]

@BrokenWheelYT Interesting. I just bought some triples, also LG to upgrade my 60hz AOC triples. Hopefully I don't have any issues but good to know there are alternatives.

[@ellobo_gameryt]

tengo una duda se que este video es de hace un tiempo pero eh tratado de instalar en resize raccoon durante mucho rato pero no me deja abrir lo y no se que puedo hacer, me daria una mano porfavor

[@HexlGaming]

resize racoon is such a nice little tool to improve ones experience with the games one loves. I used to just stretch it manually as that's what Lando Norris used to do and it worked fine without messing with the iracing text files, but it always left a border on the top and bottom. This tool fixes that completely and now I can run full tripples with no borders or anything that's not the game at ease.

[@Deadbeatbeats]

Thats very convenient if you play different sims or games, but I still think changing iracing settings through ini files is the most redundant solution

[@dcandelarioch8343]

Could someone tell me how to connect three 4k 144hz monitors at the same time to a 4090? On KZbin there are many videos where they show setups with 4k triples at 144hz, so there must be some way to do it, but no one says how to connect them. There is a limitation on the 4090 and only two monitors can be activated with DSC at a time. I'm trying triple 4k for simracing, but I'm about to give up. I have got 4090 zotac and tripple Asus rog pg27uqr. Does the 4090 ROG strix allow these 3 monitors to be connected?

[@GortexPlace]

"But its purple so it's better !" I totally agree ! 🤣

thanks works good with the updates! could not get swre setup easily

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Lovely. When i press the stretch or activate button it just says sorry cant do it and dont know why.....

[@ЭдикНаЧердаке]

Doesn't work at all :( it stretches the image of 1 monitor across 3.

[@justinmuntean7689]

Hey Dan, I have a unique problem. I use a 57” G9, and 2 32” G8’s for a triple setup. So 15360x2160. In iRacing this does not seem to be a problem, I simply set it up as 1 curved monitor spanning the full length and it renders perfectly. In a triple set up it creates a fake bezel line on the 57” (almost like it cuts it into 2 32 inch screens). This also happens in ACC, but when setting ACC up as a single monitor it drops the resolution like crazy, so I have these crazy fake bezels where the image is not smooth at the line. I should probably attach a picture. Not sure if you have seen something like this with non uniform size monitors?

[@DanSuzuki]

Set the angle to 0 - that’s what you’re doing if you use the curved monitor setting on iracing (I wouldn’t ever recommend using the curved monitor setting)

This was the only thing that worked for me outside of Surround and I am very thankful for this amazing software. Only question: is there a list of games it works for? I cannot get it to work with Automobilista 1. I can get surround to work for it but it destroys so many settings I would rather avoid it. Such a shame Nvidia completely ignores this with their own hardware/software.

This is cool, but any way to mimic bezel hiding? It would be cool to take it from 7680x1440 to 7780x1440 with the 100 pixels "hidden" like Surround can do (or bezel hiding does in iRacing, etc.). Haven't found a way to do that yet for other applications unless it has it natively.

So why did Windows defender not like Resize Racoon saying it could damage my computer?

[@brulaapgaapmeester8052]

It does not work. It just rejects everything saying something like: no access to window manager when I click 'test profile'. Also tried Eyefinity but that won't allow me to change the FOV, making it undrivable. Hundreds of euros for a triple screen system and now I wish I was back to my ultrawide lol. ;-)

[@realshmoothie]

I've had pretty annoying issues with Surround myself. The software itself bugs out when you change settings and will lock up for 15 seconds, then it auto shuts off any monitors not in the surround setup. Then when you reactivate the other monitors they are set to a weird resolutions and hz. Certain res or hz options won't change or show up on Nvidia so then you are required to fiddle with Windows settings which also can lock up the Nvidia software. All kind of petty stuff but it gets old quick. Especially so considering every time you update drivers, everything resets and you have to do it again. If you are using your pc for normal gaming as well: you can't disable the nvidia surround screen in windows setting when they are not in use. IDK about you but my monitors generate quite a bit of heat so not running them when I'm not using them is pretty important.

[@Simlife101]

@stuporsmoothie change the start of your comment too "we all have a bug" 😅 surround has had that issue for 20 years and never fixed. "Nvidia control panel is not responding" so you have too wait for a few seconds and it's so annoying because it's every single time. If you drive iracing using IRSIDEKICK you can even adjust graphics settings without being on track and change settings not even in iracing you would have too look in the ini file and know what your looking for so IRSIDEKICK is amazing. When your not using the other 2 screens just swith them off with the button what I do

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Im at wits end. Ive tried this, ive tried the other program, ive tried everything I can find on reddit and the best I can do is the iracing UI will launch into triples but the game sim goes right back to one screen... I am so done.

[@jojebia1648]

will surround not do the same?

[@rwbrygel]

Just gone to download this and they've already added the start with windows setting and start minimized options.

[@DadandDaughterAccount]

What would be the reason not to use surround? It is annoying how surround always resets on restart, but does it do anything with fov and monitor angle?

[@ItsRapty]

For me it was two things, one was how managing window sizes by snapping becomes more difficult when in surround and not being able to adjust the brightness of all three displays when in surround via software (known issue for years).

[@10mmGR]

If you stream without using a capture card you can only choose either all triples or the application which will appear the same as an ultra ultra wide. Using srwe or racoon allows you to run triples but be able to capture the middle screen by itself.

Nvidia Surround is the only option that works for me for G-Sync on all 3 monitors.

I’ve never checked if g sync works on the side monitors - it’s only in my peripheral vision anyways - at least I never noticed it if it didn’t work 😅

@@DanSuzuki I notice it... unfortunately xd... the side monitors are where the speed is noticeable. I changed the monitors to better ones, although they are not native G-Sync, I would like to try that option but in Chile we do not have much of a supply of monitors.

Nice, SRWE was a bit too hardcore :) Dan, does VRR (G-sync) works without problems with this type of stretching on all 3 screens? Because with initial iRacing approach (configs edit) - the VRR was either not working at all or working only on the center screen. Thanks in advance.

[@sakumisan]

@justkru You can have VRR without any addons, just tick the box that opens a new window for each monitor instead of a single stretched window. 1 window can't do VRR on multiple monitors, but 1 window per monitor can.
