Triple monitor setup advice/questions

[Paulus-NL]

Thinking of buying a triple screen setup. But now looking for monitors and which to choose. There are so many options to get in count.

• 27 inch or 32 inch?
• Curved or non curved?
• 1080P or 1440?
• 144hz?

It will be mounted on the sim-lab triple mount (also need to buy that one)
With this i can get the screen close and just above/in front of the wheel base.
So i guess 27" monitor would be a nice format.

But there is also the resolution question. Also with the future in my mind regarding PC upgrades (currently not in the planning because its a lot of money ) Should i go for 1080p or 1440p.........
For example: If i got the 1440p 144hz version but the gpu can't put out the 144hz on 1440p but only 100fps etc will that be waste of money and would 1080p be better for the monitor? Or is it fine to get lower but keep the 1440p just in case of possible future updates?

Currently i am using my 21:9 tv for all my gaming on 2560x1080 resolution.
But no idea if the current GPU will do the 1440p fine with high settings (for lower settings/graphics i can switch to my VR).

Some options i found which looks nice:

• AOC C27G1 (1080p 27")
• AOC CQ32G1 (1440p 32")

Current played games:

• rFactor 2
• Assetto Corsa Competizione

Current pc specs:

• CPU: i7-7700K
• GPU: MSI GTX 1080 TI GAMING X 11G (https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/geforce-gtx-1080-ti-gaming-x-11g.html)

Other tips and experiences are more than welcome cause it's pretty difficult to choose without ever seen/experienced a triple monitor setup.

Some discussion of 50% increase in 4K fps for the 3080Ti. If so, this should bring 60 fps to 4K triples in PC2. I'm hoping so.

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is up to 50% faster than RTX 2080 Ti in 4K gaming

NVIDIA will reportedly launch the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti very close to the release of Cyberpunk 2077.

Here's my 32" triple setup. MSI 4K monitors (60 Hz) on a custom 8020 rig of my own design. Monitor support was adapted from the Simlab HD triple monitor stand. Works great. Solid as a rock, nothing moves on the motion system. The monitor supports are sturdy enough to support keyboard/mouse stands.

Center monitor is mounted low to the DD wheel (small MIGE OSW), and with enough clearance for my hands not to touch the screen but otherwise relatively close to the wheel rim.

32" is almost too big, honestly. The view from the seat is all-monitor, from edge to edge covering my complete perpherial vision. Quite immersive, and loads better than my prior 49" ultrawide.

Please share the dimensions/space taken by your sim rig setup in all axis... Thanks.

That community member was last active in the forums a year ago, so don't count on a response.

Detailed chassis dimensions are provided by many aluminum profile rig vendors in PDFs for parts lists or assembly instructions. Most have settled on a fairly standard footprint with profile lengths only differing by a few inches in length, width, height.
