Spitfire2170 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Here are my computer specs: Intel i5-3570K OC'd to around 4.3Ghz Intel Z77K Extreme board 8GB Vengeance GTX 670 FTW edition The GTX670 has three display outputs on the back. Currently I have two 38" TVs, but only one setup as a monitor. The TV's are horrible PPI, so I have been leaning towards getting a smaller, high PPI screen. I have a couple options here as I have a bit of extra money now... Should I: 1) Setup the two monitors as side by side dual screen. But have a huge black strip through the center (the tv's are thick edged) 2) Invest in a triple screen (21"-27" maybe?) and try to mount them or place them on my desk somehow 3) Just stick with single tv. But get two small screens to export the two screens from the cockpit. I don't know how I would position the screens to not be in the way of the main display. Thoughts?

fzfq3m Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) 1) Setup the two monitors as side by side dual screen. But have a huge black strip through the center (the tv's are thick edged) Just imagine your A-10C pipper cut in half and with that big black strip in between! Forget about this... 2) Invest in a triple screen (21"-27" maybe?) and try to mount them or place them on my desk somehow considering that you have a pretty decent machine this could be a good option if you have the budget! But, driving three monitor will hurt your FPS... I'm running 3x22"@1080p and my poor rig (see my signature) cries when I fire DCS. 3) Just stick with single tv. But get two small screens to export the two screens from the cockpit. I don't know how I would position the screens to not be in the way of the main display. Thoughts? If your really hate your current monitor then I would say change it, and if it happends to be one of those HDTV@720p then do yourself a favor throw it out the window... In the end its just personal preference but please allow me to refer you to this reply BTW you didn't specify if you own a TrackIR device... if you don't have one then I would recommend that you invest some money on acquiring one, you won't regret it...

celticcoho Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Pushing three with that GPU will be harder, but See my Sig for my set up!!! Dell ultra sharps are good, 24, 27 or 31 inch for main View, but expensive compared to a TV!!
