Teej Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 OK...I'm looking to go triple screen in the near future (1-2 months). I'm wondering what those of you who have done this are ending up with for frame rate / settings compromises for the current DCS level (A-10C, P-51...should provide a rough indication of what FC3 will bring) I'm not one who has to have all the eye candy maxed out, but I don't want to have to run low settings just to barely be playable, either. Most interested in what you get with a native solution (as opposed to TH2G, SoftTH, etc) with a a 7970 or 670 / 680 single card solution. I would most likely be driving 5760x1200 (I have 1 24" 1920x1200 screen now and would probably get more of the same). Simplest way to give me a fair comparison is....what do you see sitting on the end of the runway at the start of the takeoff training mission (Batumi is hell on fps...)? For example, with my single screen GTX 460 and the settings below, I see 39-40fps in the default view at EOR in that mission. Usually in flight I see 60+ unless I'm closing in on Batumi. "Tank! I need a program for a TM Warthog!"

sandman330 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Hi Teej, I am running multi screens (check my sig) and I have 2 GTX580's. I am currently running DCS off essentially one card because there is an issue with multi screens and running in nVidia surround. I have gone away with the surround issue as it only limits you to 3 screens AND they have to be the same.. I am running 4 of my screens off one card, I am using TH2GO digital edition for the 3 x 24"s and the 23" touch screen off the 2nd card. I have selected 'activated all displays' on the nVidia control panel, I have the control panel set as default (seems to work for me) and I am getting 48FPS sitting on the runway at Batumi. In flight it is pegged at 60FPS (my refresh rate is 60hz) and only rarely will it dip to about the mid 40s when a lot is going one. I have everything set to high ( I like eye candy.. I guess I want to have my cake and eat it too) When you go mulit screens the immersion is great, you will never go back!
