Touch Screen Question

[Bushaman]

Thinking about picking up a touch screen and setting up a helios profile -It would be one 24 inch screen and one 21 inch touch below it?

 

Do you think my specs will be able to run it well? Worried I should have picked up a 4gb version of GTX 670.

 

Thanks.

You might be OK but since one of the issues at hand is Vram, it would be easier to guess if we knew how much ram is on your current card. Sig does not say who made it either.

I'll update that, I've got a gigabyte 2 gb card though which I've overclocked.

I going to guess that both monitors are 1920x1080 res. In that case 2GB vram should be fine.

Dont think you will have any problems, I used to run a 2 screen setup,

a 23 and 21 on a lowly gtx 560 ti with only 1 g ram.

And that with every thing maxed out.

 

Changed to a different setup now, but had no problems ramwise with the above.

You might want to consider just having your touchscreen monitor act directly as your cockpit without using Helios. That way you're not looking at two instrument panels.

 

If you place your touchscreen below your main monitor, you could create a render area of say 1920x2160, and then in your main default cockpit view you'd have the HUD and canopy frame on the upper monitor and the instrument panel on the bottom monitor.
