As long as the resolution matches it will run, but if the overall sizes are different they won't line up at all

I ran iRacing on two 24 inch 1080p and a 27inch 1440p and it basically lined up okay, was a pain in the rear end to get working right thought.

I bought some pedals and it came with a voucher for 3 free months of iracing for someone who starts a new account, would anyone here like it? I'm already deep into it so can't use it and happy to pass it along to someone whos been thinking about it but hasn't signed up yet. All I ask is that it gets used and not redeemed and then ignored.

This will line up, but yeah needs a lot of hacking to run mismatched resolutions (especially with Nvidia GPUs) and there is a performance hit in the process too.

Honestly, there are 27's out there that are cheap so maybe I just grab 2 of those and run all 3 at 1440. If that overloads my GPU then I'll drop down to 1080. I know I'm trying to half rear end budget it but I think I can make it work without dumping $1500 on a full cockpit right now.

Any recommendations for a USB handbrake? I ordered one with decent reviews on Amazon and it turned out to be total junk, the screws wouldn't fit in the mounting board and it was clearly a different brand from what was shown in the ad. I think a simple clamp design would work best for me considering my limited space near my shifter. Edit: Also, I ended up getting that shh shifter recommended on the last page, and it arrived earlier this week. Have only gotten to try it out once, but it's pretty awesome so far, thanks for the recommendation! Having an actual sequential shifter has been pretty awesome for Dirt Rally 2.0 reversefungi fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Oct 20, 2022 |

Time to help you lose money again. Fanatec has one, and it has a mount and is probably the one you'd think makes most money sense since typically amazon goes 70'ish->fanatec 130. but then you have to buy their big beautiful usb adapter and table clamp adapter and rail adapter so its actually 200+ dollars lol. at that point you might as well say gently caress it and buy an aiologs brick for 250 and never think about it again. Never used it personally but it was on my list when I was thinking of getting one vs heusinkveld (which I ended up getting and which owns but is impossible to clamp). They're based in russia tho, so dunno if they got their payments sorted but glancing at their site maybe they have. Though they do have resellers around the world you could buy through. There is of course other brands like bj sim racing, vnm and so on but I can't think of a clampable one off the top of my head not to mention its got a small footprint. Dunno about what you're clamping it to vs the forces involved tho. So for those reason I'd just look around amazon/aliexpress/ebay again unless you want to drop like 100-200 more dollars. You won't be able to make aluminum profile creak or rip your table apart though

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried a second (different Amazon listing) handbrake and had the same problem, screws don't fit the mounting board at all. Gonna try my luck with the Aiologs next once all these refunds get processed.

So I got the triples to work, after some tweaking of the ini files. They didn’t line up great but it still looked cool. My GPU can’t handle it though, it was running at almost 200F so I shut it down. I might just look into an ultra wide since that won’t require three renderings and destroy my PC and save me the money of buying a new video card.

Ultrawide is pretty nice, even better if you can get some head tracking to give you just that little bit of extra fov.

We’re you running it in windowed mode stretched over the monitors? That’s how I did it, I’m pretty sure that was a single render since I was running a 970 at the time.

What gpu are you using? My 1070 had zero issue running triples. And I think I used a 960 or something before that. Just turn down some of the fidelity. (Note this was at 1080)

If you're specifically talking about iRacing (as it was mentioned up thread, not sure if it was by Douchebag though) then past experience probably isn't accurate any more as the last year or so of updates have impacted performance quite a bit. I used to be able to run 1080 trips on an RX 580 for instance, but that hasn't cut it for a while now.

It is nowhere near top of the GPU food chain at this point. I was getting 59FPS, and my GPU temp was ticking off around 198-200 so I shut it down. This was in a test session. Dropped into an ARCA practice with about 10 cars on track and it still ran smooth but I could hear the fans kicking into jet plane mode. I had it setup for 1080P, followed some YouTube video on how to setup the DX11 ini files with the right numbers to calc for 1080P and it looked pretty good, there is no way it could have handled 1440. Now, I had a center 27" and 2, 24's on the side. Did it line up perfectly? No, probably a half inch off but I wanted to test things out to see if triples were possible. I think my options budget wise are to go with an ultrawide. But, having done some reading last night I don't think it's going to get me much more of a FOV unless I go with a 49". I'd like to be able to see past the drat mirrors on the side of the car a little more LOL. 49" should not tax the video card as much I would expect since it's a single render even at a greater resolution.. In reality I'm going to need to upgrade my GPU. Fellblade posted:We’re you running it in windowed mode stretched over the monitors?

I dunno how going ultra wide is going to save your GPU though, it's still trying to render x pixels. I think there's a check box for 'render each display separate' maybe uncheck that and see how it works.

There's some overhead with doing the matrix transforms multiple times, which is why VR has the option to do two pass rendering instead of rendering each eye independently. Either way, you GPU should not get that hot under load.

Will be watching for BF day deals though.

Having used both triples and an ultrawide, the latter is a great compromise between fov and space, and 21:9 resolutions are also supported by most modern PC games without issue. A 34" ultrawide is the same height as a 27" 16:9, so I wouldn't go smaller than that. e: and if in the future you say "gently caress space" and want to get silly, you can slap a pair of 27" 16:9s on the ends of the ultrawide

What FOV were you able to use with an ultra wide? I’m running a 60 FOV with a flat 27” and it’s honestly fine, I’d just like to get a little more on the sides and if an UW can do that, cool. I’m probably getting a 34”, I can fit a 49 but not sure I want to spend that kind of money right now.

I don't recall, as I've been 100% VR simming for a couple years now. Also worth noting that fov will vary depending on how close my face is versus yours, any personal preference tweaks I apply, blah blah blah. It's not gonna be an earth-shattering increase, as we're talking about 30% more physical horizontal space (assuming your ultrawide is the same vertical height as the monitor it's replacing, ie 34" ultra vs 27" standard), but it was enough for me. Personally, I paired the ultra with simple head tracking to better look into turns and such.

The takeaway from racing sim YouTube will definitely be that the devs of Real Life should have nerfed this obvious bug years ago and that their failure to do so is endangering the sanctity of the sport.

RBR update now has soft lock per car apparently, and a lot of mod tools been coming out or announced for it recently to more easily edit pace notes/create maps. Pretty good. Also I spent money like a good lil piggy and got sprints lol. I think it was fanatecs fundamentally being floor pedals in design that pissed me off forever. Terrible ergonomics for my big rear end feet. An absolutely pain in the rear end baseplate design tho, they should throw whoever designed it into a river.

I'd just get a 10 dollar goodwill monitor to boot windows. btw if you have no vr headset to begin with, and you don't mind the wire, there are reverb g2's on ebay that I'm pretty sure are cosmetic defect/refurbs for like 200. i sidegraded to one of those suckers from a OQ2 and it kicks rear end, you can set it to default launch steamvr instead of windows bloated POS launcher.

Nah I have a monitor, it's just that my sim setup isn't at my desk because I do iracing in VR so it's a few feet away where it fits in the room better. Unfortunately it restricts me to VR only games with the wheel which is a bummer.
