Perfect timing! I've literally just this week upgraded my PC and also bought triple 27's.Fantastic video mate!

Don’t forget to include the ‘digital’ bezel. That’s where I came unstuck. It’s the black line at the edge of the screen. We were lied to about the thin bezels!

I only looked at small parts of the video - but I think 1 more detail is worth mentioning:

"Technically", you cannot freely "pick" the angle between your screens. They depend on the distance that you sit away from the screen.
For 32'' screens at 59-60cm, the optimal angle actually is 60°, which Dan has set up quite nicely for himself - it will also give you almost a full 180° FOV.
That's why 32'' are the "sweet spot" for triple setups: You can place them over your wheel hub, at an acceptable distance and get a full 180° FOV just by obeying "the math" :)

@Dan Suzuki Your a legend. I literally asked for this a week or two ago because your old video is out of date as the ini file looks different now.

Really appreciate it Dan thank you

[chemitaxis]

Excellent video but I miss a POV from your eyes to view how the FOV change and view how you see the monitors, mayber recording with a phone could be enough, thanks. Great job, you have my like!

[malbster]

The one huge downside to surround for me - it (nvidia drivers?) would randomly reset the configuration and I would have to go in and set up surround again. This would happen at least once a week... "Oh, my displays are back to 3 independent screens.. I'll just go and configure surround again". Eventually I cracked it, and disabled surround, set up 3 displays, and iracing in bordleress window mode, and have never had an issue again (I really preferred surround though)

Good video, especially because you do not, like many others, stick to the mathematical FOV, but also set it larger, and according to personal feeling :-)
Since I have Triples I fluctuate between a FOV of 190 to 200 degrees. If it gets too "weird", I push the virtual seat forward with "X".
What I miss are a few words about the "warping" that automatically appears with Triples if the eye level does not correspond exactly to a "Shift Horizon" of 0%. There are so many wrong formulas and information on the web about this....

[Pabula]

Thanks for the video Dan, really useful. Wondering about one thing, your 3|4 monitor are the same, are you ghosting or duplicating the center monitor?

[MikaTarkela]

What monitors are you using? Thanks for the guide!

[IIRedSunII]

Thank You, make another one for VR please :)

[jobkinderen]

Would like to see a triple setup guide for rennsport and dirt rally2. 😂

[chrisgreen]

Hey mate - have you got a full GSI Hyper P1 review/walkthrough?

[justinrehm]

in regards to using the modern FOV calculator thing at the start to set the dimensions - would this change if you were running curved? ideally the length end to end should be the same, but the angle between the monitors would be different no?

[amigoz]

Nice vid, but for me nvidia surround and g-sync/freesync on enabled, middle monitor turns off for 1 second, cables are good 2k 240hz, and when i put bot via surround but via monitor dx file runs perfect. Issue i play rally games and i need to put nvidia surround for iR tripple setup via dxmonitor 11 file ( thats means not in surround mode) Dan have you enabled g-sync in surrond and also to check button below gsunc setting? You have to check it as only innthis ways freesync/gsync works.

Hi Dan, do you have any idea how to correctly setup triples (in iRacing and other sims) but with different aspect ratio screens ?
I have a 49" G9 as center screen (5120x1440) and 2 G5's on the sides (both 2560x1440). Totalling 10240x1440.
so far so good, i can get it up and running in a window spanned across the 3 screens.
But what i'm struggling with is that the "bend" where it thinks i goes from the middle screen to the side screen is offset to the wrong position. It is like the 10240x1440 is divided in 3 equal parts instead of Different parts.

Thanks for another awesome video. Quick question you think a 4080 gpu would be a worth upgrade over my 3090gpu?

[aureliocarneiro]

It would be good an comparison between sorround and not soround. Because without sourround you have more fps
Not everyone have an 4090 😅

[acauthan]

Thanks for the video. I have never been sure about iRsidekick. Do you just have to have the program open for iRacing to use it? Does it use the settings automatically if it is open?

[Kpaxlol]

Monitor width, includes bezzels? So like 716 not 698?

[GTRaceAce]

Hi Dan, I had the triples set with your old video and it worked just fine. Now I am trying to set using this new video and I just cat get it right. I saw your video many times, step by step but it wont show the 3 monitors, just the center one. Am I missing something? Anyone that can help its appreciated. I have a 4060TI 3 1920x1080 27" monitors. Tks (It works fine with your directions for ACC)
