Joe, what's the biggest monitor setup that frame can handle?  (single or multiple?)
It looks nice, mate, well done on the negotiations :D

It came with parts to make it single or multi. Apparently will hold a 55" single screen, or 3 screens up to 30". I just bought three 24" screen off Gumtree for $200 so will see how I go lining them up tonight, hopefully before the fun run!

Very cute.
To think my 6'7 son was once that size...

My triple screen app settings are:


Rotation 34 Distance 1000
Width 600 Margin 22


You can set the distance to whatever you want, really, then just adjust the width to get the FOV that looks good. The Distance and Width just set a ratio; the values are irrelevant.

Here's how I currently have mine. Pretty similar. I set the triple monitor app values to be real, then moved driver position so my G27 overlaps the wheel in game, so I have a bit more dash than you and phil did.

The FOV is still a little different to when I ran single screen. Some corners seem shorter. I'll keep it how it is though and get used to it. I assume as I've put the correct values (side monitor angle a guess), into the app it should be right.

Had to turn my GFX down a touch with the larger res, not much though, just the PP settings down to high from max. The built in GFX benchmark averaged 59 fps so will keep it at that for now.

Man I wish I had triples.  Still holding out hope for some kind of VR solution instead.

I'd love to try it with a VR headset, but wondering if long sessions would be too much with VR.

That's the impression I'm getting too. Gratulin said you have to turn your head too much too look around, through a narrow FOV.
