I am just curious. How many of us are using multiple monitors for P3Dv2.x? Are multi-monitor users still minority? I think that multi-monitor users get more affected by the changes that LM team makes for each release (like clouds). If such users are increasing, it may be important for developers and their testers to take the statistic into account.

Single monitor here but ONLY because I don't have the money and space for three... Would love to have three!!!

 

BTW that money doesn't only concern the monitors themselves but also the higher end hardware I would need because I couldn't stand three monitors if I had to lower any of the settings I have now...  ^_^

Using 3 1920x1080 monitors on a single 780Ti.

 

Works great at moderate to high settings, until I set OpusFX real weather on a cloudy day. Even without SGSS (NI).

Usually have to resize main P3D2 window to 3500x1080 (using AutoHotKey).

Using 2 x 27" monitors (linked by a zotac splitter so is seen as one at 3840x1920) for outside view and 2 x 18" for gauges.. running off 2 x GTX 670oc cards in SLI... although not using the AFR friendly.exe at this time due to graphic anomalies...

 

Having said that, the lower to panels are used for the Jeehell A320 software...so i don't run a VC etc hence my frames are good... but having 3 monitors i suspect is causing a drain on my cards... planning to get a 2 x 42" TV's for the outside view (or 1 x 55" tv) as this will be for the home cockpit i am building...

3 27" 1920x1080 monitors with a single EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX.  I also use a postprocess shader I wrote and have NO DISTORTION on my side monitors.   I could never go back to stretched views, and they honestly make me feel dizzy now if I do.  FaceTrackNoIR, but it may not tune as well as IR tracking solutions, or haven't had time to tune it just right.   Framerates are usually just under 30 until there is heavy weather or scenery.  You can really notice stutter in side views because the view is perpendicular to your movement.  P3D 2.3 helped framerates and stutter alot, but microstutter is still there.  I read somewhere to try many FPS cap speeds for different cockpits, but ain't nobody got time for that.

Hi,

 

I'm using three Samsung Syncmaster T260HD monitors at 5760x1200 via EVGA Titan Black Superclocked. I'd never go back to a single monitor again.

I use 3 +1 monitors and I love it! Three for VC and one for instrument panel. 

 

I get more feeling that I am being in the air with 3 monitors. I can not go back to single monitor.  

 

The number of votes are not many yet, but I am a bit surprised that rather many are using multiple monitors.

I see that I am not that nurd  B) !  I can tell that to my wife  :P .

Hi Mike,

 

Did you notice an improvement over the GTX 690 you used to have? I still have a GTX 690 running three TVs at 5760x1080 and I am wondering whether the switch to a Titan is worth it.

 

Thanks,

Maurice

Using  3x27" at 5760x1080 with 2 GTX580, SLI in surround mode.

 

Sometimes I miss the resolution of my 30" LP3065 but the triple screens together with TrackIr are the best for the immersion of sitting within the plane.

Cheers,
Michael
