Spec advice for 3 4K projectors

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to run P3D with 3 4K projectors. What kind of specs will I need? Perhaps

  • i9 9900K overclocked @ 5.1Ghz
  • 64GB RAM
  • 2x RTX 2080Ti
  • 2x 1TB Samsung 970 Pro

I'm hoping to get a solid 30 fps in scenery like FSDT LAX or Aerosoft EGLL.

Pete Dowson is the guy I'd ask...he's the only person i know running P3D on a triple projector setup.

I don't think P3D will run great with three 4k screens....ick.  I think the CPU won't be powerful enough...  maybe with lower settings.

You could probably get away with 3 at 1080p. That is what my setup is. Running 8700k at 5ghz with 2 1080ti cards.

4k resolution is too much for one machine and 3 projectors. You'll need to invest some $$$ and look into wideview and a multi computer setup to make it acceptable. It gets expensive quick. Triple the hardware, and triple some of the software too depending on their EULA.
