Dual monitor or maybe triple in future

[emc]

Hi,

Right now I run DCS as single monitor setup, due to limitation is desk space. Accually I have second old VGA screen and use it as support for tools, docs kneeboards etc. I just wonder to move my setup to living room and buy second the same as main DCS screen Dell 27" S2716DG 2560x1440@144. Questions:

 

1. Anybody fly with two screen setup (personal opinion and feelings) I'm afraid of screen's frames in the middle of view will kill expirence. In my Dell frame is quite thin but still.... I'm asking because I'm not sure if I could buy 3rd monitor, when it will drive me qrazy.

 

2. Performance: can my i7 7700 and GTX 1080 8GB with SSD handle 2 and/or 3 monitor setup with decent high settings?

Have a look at my 3 monitor setup (Dell monitors, no less). I was able to drive it with 4790K and 980Ti if memory serves. Two monitor is OK, but it would be odd to stretch the cockpit. Probably better to display the MFDs?

I think you would be unhappy with a 2 monitor setup that will divide your cockpit view/HUD between 2 screens, even with a thin monitor bezel. That vertical screen split would bother me.

 

I decided against a 2-monitor setup and bought a curved 34" 1440P monitor, which gives me about a 32" horizontal screen measurement, roughly equivalent to dual 20/21" (diagonal measurement) monitors.

Hi,

I move form single screen to triple 3x27"" 2560x1440. And of course I have FOV issue with one huge 1camera view - "to close to HUD or massive distortion of sideviews"

 

Last night I got idea, but I decide to ask if anybody. So did anyone try run DCS with 3 portraits displays so instead of 7680x1440 do 4320x2560

 

So yo can get extra vertical space and better aspect for portraits 13.5:8 (close to 16:9) then 16:3 for landscapes.

 

Of coures you got 2 monitors' frames closer together, so thats way I'm asking beforem move all my screens and cables sideways....
