Actually, can't you use the 4 displayPorts on 2x gfx cards to drive 3xmonitors all from dp at higher frequencies?
(I do not know this; over 60Hz is lost on me, never bought monitors like that)
Yes, or get a card that has 3 displayport https://www.ple.com.au/Products/627846/Galax-GeForce-GTX1080Ti-EXOC-White-11GB-GDDR5X Phils card is 2.5 slot wide meaning he wouldn't fit a second gpu unless the motherboard could accommodate them. No one uses 2 gfx cards anymore (except old skool soldiers like myself  )
I concur

Just wait a few years; the monitor manufacturers want you to buy more, so they'll provide I'm sure.
Haha, I'm happy with what I have, although sometimes when I see triples a little question mark pops up...the question mark then leads me to VR, then I think about my cataract...viscous circles lol

Phil, before you pull the trigger on anything let's recap.
1. Single or triple *looks at gpu ports and their capabilities. 2x displayport & 2x hdmi 2.0
2. Do you want high resolution or is 1080p enough.
3. Do you want high refresh rate. (I can vouch for it, but as mentioned each to their own) if yes it rules out 4k.
4. Do you want variable refresh rate (gsync) I can vouch for that also but it adds $200+ to each monitor. Since most racing sims can maintain high frame rates above the monitors refresh rate gsync is not active, and same goes for shooters where you'd tune your games to run high fps anyway. Gsync is really only good for single player games or games that you aren't willing to dial back to maintain high fps.
5. Do you want IPS panels for colours and viewing angles or TN panels for ultra fast response times but compromise on viewing angles. IPS = 4ms, TN = 1ms
Just trying to help, I remember going through all this when shopping a year or two ago.

The refresh rate is a bit of a personal difference/preference thing.
Some people can genuinely see the difference between 60Hz and higher refresh rates, but a lot cannot. I'd actually check it out first before pulling the pin - unless it does not matter.
The other important aspect is usage. There's no single great solution for everyone. I prefer screen real estate, and I hate curved screens... hence my 43" 4k montior. But I've used triples before, and for racing they're quite good (side-by-side). Sadly the triple setup is not the best for anything else. I also detest having only 1080 pixels vertically, I can't even fit an a4 page on it.
Each to his own, I guess.
Edit: oh, and the issue with the widescreen setup, is that a lot of games don't like that kind of unusual aspect ratio. So again: it all depends on usage. Altho if you've triples, at least you can change the config to use a single screen.
I haven't had any problems ultra wide yet, most modern games are on to it, I think the biggest issue was that some in-game ui would look stretched but the game would run fine. I came across a website that had fixes for this type of issues so I don't think it's a problem (so far, never had to use any), could be if you run some older games. The games that don't support the wider resolutions probably don't support multi monitor and you'll have black bars on the side, no drama we watch movies like that on our tvs.
Also if I had to choose, I'd take the high refresh rate over higher pixel density, the smoothness in racing sims is great and if you can match your fps with refresh rate in online shooters it does help...a little
Yeah, that's what I'm saying; each to his own 
I don't know why I quoted you apart from pointing out that ultra wide isn't really problematic. For sure each to own, for me I tried to roll as much as I could into one, high refresh rate, high pixel count, I wanted ips for colours and viewing angles, gsync, also as much screen space as possible with out going to multi monitor, a hell of a lot to ask for and came up with the Acer predator X34. Would be awesome if I could have all that and a higher refresh rate (currently 100hz) and hdr lol...

So triple when using a hdmi in the mix cant go above 60Hz ? daisy chaining should be no issue with correct cables ?
I guess my real question should be is pixel count or refresh rate more important
or
144Hz in the centre monitor and 60Hz on the sides maybe, only problem is I do like to use triple in any game that it will work in and pubg is the only game I have atm that triples don't work in
how can buying a monitor be so hard
My understanding of the way it works is 1440p 60hz is limitation of the monitor/hdmi, and having all three monitors clocked the same is a limitation of nvidia surround. I could be wrong and it's worth digging into further, I'd hate to see someone buy 3 ~1000ish monitors and not get to use them to their full potential. One thing though is you'd still have gsync which is nice provided you get one with gsync over hdmi asus pg279q has it I think. Partially the reason why I went a single ultra wide, the other reason is space lol

Saw this a while ago:
Looks like you could run 3 at 1440p pretty well but won't get the most from 144hz. Guess it comes down to whether you want 1440p or 144hz. I'd be curious what a 1080p 27" monitor looks like in a rig compared to 1440p. I'm also curious how much bigger 27s seem over 24s so let me know when you get yours 
Ha posted the same link lol

triple, I linked the wrong one first, was meant to be a g sync one, I was thinking 3 x 27 inch at 1440 might make everything all skippy ? , even though it would probably be way nicer to view ?
I have only one of these monitors in this video At 1440p you might need to lower a few settings in some games but gsync will keep everything smooth as silk. One concern for me (never used triples before) is connections, a quick search found this http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3382892/asus-strix-1080-monitor-setup.htmlIf you can't daisy chain, I wouldn't have a clue, you'd be using two displayport and one hdmi reducing all monitors back to 60hz I think. Anyway that'd be something I'd investigate further if it were me, maybe a gpu with 3 displayport for high refresh rate?

Tested with:
F5000 Surtees (in Hotlap mode)
ACL Corvette (online)
Formula RSS 4 (single, race weekend)
All pressures were random and I've DEFINITELY altered these before.
The only mod I remember NOT having to adjust was the can-am.
It does it with the porsche lmp1 for me If you manually adjust the tyre pressures shown in the app with the + and - buttons, it saves those values as your new "ideal" pressures.
Just an observation Wally.
When you say 'saves', do you mean permanently?
Mine only stays 'set' while I'm in the session, if I leave and rejoin I have to set the ideal pressure again.
Obviously this is in regards to mods only.
I just tested and couldn't make that happen. It remembered my settings for a mod car.
Which mod is it? Did the mod already exist in the IdealPressures.ini file, or was it missing? When it happens again, can you attach your py_log.txt file.
Did you get to look at my log file, I zipped it because I thought it might display as a super long page on the forum.

+1 for discord
Tuesday night races are the only thing I have teamspeak installed for. All other communities I'm involved in have moved over to Discord.

Just silently got the W10 update and all appears well.
Interesting on the task manager - it now has GPU performance graphs which could be interesting to check out while AC is running.
Still got it with a metered connection? Msi afterburner for performance monitoring and custom fan curve
