- In this video I will walk you through setting up triple screens for iRacing without the use of Nvidia Surround or AMD Eyefinity. This will be compatible with all overlays and will give the appearance of fullscreen across all three monitors.

You are a life saver my friend. Used the first video to set myself up and then had an issue with my 3 monitor setup mid race and could not figure out how to fix it. This video was perfect. Bookmarked incase of future issues.
Good to have you back mate!
Great tutorial - had my iRacing crash on me and FUBAR my display settings. I was well chuffed to find you had an updated video for this. Thanks so much - again - as I used your original video 3 years ago. 👍🏁
Nice vid mate: clear and simple. I was able to set up my triples in a blink of an eye! Thanks!
Wow, I have been on iRacing for 7 months and just dealt with my triples not lining up perfectly. I have messed around with all sorts of setting changes however, my problem was fixed by lining up the 3 monitors properly within Display Settings. I have never seen this mentioned on any other video. THANK YOU!
Works like a charm! Cheers Sampsoid!!!
More than welcome
HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! good updates to the original video!
Glad to be back. Excited to work on weekly videos. Thanks for the support
Great to see another TH-cam video... your previous videos were such a HUGE help to me when I was getting started in iRacing!
Cheers Greg. Good to be back.
Wow a new youtube video, well done David.
Thanks Mike 👊
I loved these videos 3 years ago and i learned so much. I would watch any tutorials you make!! Well done sir👍
Thanks Mike. Chuffed to hear that. Will be making at least 2 a week from now on 👍
Great to have you back, buddy!
Like deployed!
Thanks a lot 👊
Got it! Thanks man.
Wow! I will try these setting in rFactor2... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! appreciate!
Look who's back at it
Coming soon was getting old... haha. We are indeed back at it
Thank you!
The Soid is back!
👋
I have a qestion, see if you can help me. I have my primary samsung tv 50 4k resolution and I'll get 2 new monitor samsung g30 24, I want to know if i can use the extra 2 monitors in portrait view and keep tv in landscape mode, can some good soul help me?
My side monitors do not line up with the center... they have a slight zoom ... As the cockpit lines draw on to the side monitors the bottom of the frame is slightly lower and the top above the opening is slightly higher than the center monitor. So there is no way to adjust a monitor up or down to compensate. What setting would control that?
I run windows at 3840x2160 on 3 32" displays but would like to run iRacing in 1920x1080 w/ 3 displays so my overall resolution in iR is 5760x1080. When I run iR with this resolution the entire screen is not taken up since Windows is running 3840x2160 on each display. Is there a way around this without running windows in the 1920x1080 mode in order to get the full screen to work?
Nice one sir I have 3 monitors but the 2 on edges are smaller any advise centre 49 edges 35 thanks happy Christmas
Swen
I have done all the things you’ve said. My game runs on the left and center monitors only. ?Any suggestions.
thank you
Can this be applied to using 2 screens as opposed to 3? I have one big screen and I'd like to be able to see out the right side on the 2nd smaller screen (is that even possible?)
Great to see you back, i learnt much from you years ago when starting out in simracing. Keep it up
Thanks, really appreciate that. Hope you sim racing journey has been fun
@@Sampsoid I have spent over $20k on my setup and since built several for others, you can say its going well .👍🇦🇺
Thanks!
No thank you sir. Appreciate it, really do
This is not working for me. It’s still stuck on one screen. Not sure why I followed it exactly
so my friend spent ages setting this up for me and it randomly reset any idea why
Loved these helpful videos and you make it seem so simple, before I got iracing last year I watched most of your how to videos twice and made starting iracing a lot easier
Again awesome video on setting up triples. In the previous video you also went through setting up the view from the car relating to the horizon if i remembered correctly. Is that still the ideal thing to follow up with? 😊👍🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
I think shift horizon takes care of it nowadays
Thank David ...
You are welcome
Great to have you back here on TH-cam!
Thanks Chris, good to be back
I can hardly believe it! Nice to see you back on TH-cam - at last!!!
At last indeed. Good to be back. Thanks for the support 👊
Thanks.
You missed one important setting .... DriveUIFullScreen=0 ... change this to 1, and you can move the UI boxes onto the side monitors.
Yeh indeedy very handy. Got a short video coming really soon on all things overlays. Wanted to keep the videos focused on just the job at hand
just use the shortcut Ctrl + K
i have problem with my screen, trying to do it with out use the Nvidia surround, if i do my screens har blikning :/
thx
I’m seeing the task bar on my right monitor. And it’s like it not moved all the way over on that monitor.
Thanks mate! Such a great tutorial! Just setup my 32in 1440p triples, living the dream compared to my old 42in 1080p tv, in the final stages of setting it up right now!
Thanks a lot. Nice 💪 yeh 32s are great
I only have the one ini file. Not two?
Does anyone know how to help me with Iracing? I do everything correctly, it opens the three screens normally, but when it finishes loading it returns to a single screen, and the file returns to the original as if I were using a monitor
Did you get this solved? Dealt with it today and I think I can help. Been a month so I'm hoping you figured it out. If not, reply and we can work it out.
Yes ! Great job love seeing you do more TH-cam content 👍
Hey mate, thanks a lot 👊 Nice to be back
@@Sampsoid it's so hard doing both live stream and TH-cam and flipping between them and the different mindset it takes.
You have tons of great information people will miss not watching your streams , great to have it here where people can find it easily. Or more easily when TH-cam feels like actually pushing videos to people that is 😂
I can't find the render file 😢 maybe because i downloaded in steam?
Do you use Steam? I made the changes for iRacing including.. turned off surround. iRacing is fine, but Steam will not work on three screens now..
I do use steam, games like ACC, Rennsport, F1 and rFactor 2 etc and I don’t use a Nvidia Surround for any of them. Each has there own configs to span the screens. Never been a fan of Nvidia Surround.
@@Sampsoid thanks for the quick response.. I'll look into setting up steam without Surround. Earlier when I tried, it would not give me the option to set three monitors. I most likely did something wrong..lol
Are you saying that the two render files should look the same?. Thanks.
Correct. The web members area is going away soon anyway so will mean we only need to manage one file going forward.
Thanks for that, and thanks for what you do for us. Don
Any fix on getting back to windowed borderless after pressing alt enter?
Press alt enter again should help or manually edit the ini to your info and making fullscreen 0 again
What's the advantage of this setup as opposed to using Surround?
Nvidia surround seems to kill fps in my experience
For the RendererDx11 file I only have one
And it’s the Monitor.ini. I’ve done everything else you have and when I launch the game it only appears on one out of the three monitors
I've always used Nvidia surround and never had a problem. Am i doing it wrong?
I have personally never liked Nvidia surround on triples. Windows becomes a lot more difficult to use and simple things like sharing your screen in discord becomes something so wide that nobody can see it. I always set up every game to span the 3 screens by themselves.
So my center monitor is good but my side monitors are not lining up properly
Hi I don´t have 2 of rendererDX11Monitor what shoud I do now?
did you find solution?
@@Lussovivido no but it woark with a Other Video
What file are you missing? rendererDX11Monitor is the file used by the iRacing UI which nowadays with the web being shutdown is the only file you need to change.
I don't get it, I've tried everything and watched every video, but in the end I have to end up stretching the windows to get it to show on all 3 screens. Is it not suppose to just automatically load up on all the screens?
Yes it will automatically fill all your screens. Have you made sure iRacing is closed when you make the change and save it?
@@Sampsoid Yes
I don’t know if this is what did it but i went from 56fps to 140fps with a 3060.
Do a 3060ti works fine on a triple 24” 144hz?
I run triple 32” monitors on a 3060ti and get around 150 frames on ultra settings!
What app do you open the notes in? Thanks
It’s just Notepad. In Windows 11 it looks a little different and I’m using Windows dark mode.
Thanks for the update. Btw, i cant move the UI when i press alt-K.
Is it that you can’t move anything or can’t move something because it doesn’t show when pressing alt k?
yes. doesn't move, but i can see them@@Sampsoid
hmmm... i think it doesn't show all the UI. "force visible when move = 1"
Do I need all three of the monitors to have the same resolution
No but I would advise you change the resolutions to match otherwise it will end up looking rather odd.
Back on TH-cam? Fabulous. Vomit inducing Twitch UI put me off finding you over there to be honest!
😂
Oh! Cool! I have 3 monitors running, so ... _looking forward to making this so!_
Awesome. Well here if you need any more help.
Thank you for the update! I am switching from Surround to no Surround. The only prob I found is that the user interface spans across the entire three monitors (Garage/Options/quit are way to the right corner and the entries/laps/info are at the right edge). Any way to have it showing only in the middle monitor?
Found it! SessionUIFullScreen=0 ; Let triple headed session UI expand to fill full display
I’ve been using this all day every day for 4 months. All the sudden mid race it just went away. Now I can’t get it to work again.
Thats weird. Make sure if you are going to edit the ini that iRacing is closed. If this doesn’t work. Make a backup of the ini. Delete it and start iRacing up. Jump in the car and then close the sim. Now edit your details in the ini and you should be good to go
@@Sampsoid I did have to totally re do it and it’s been fine. But how strange and if you search it does happen to people. Middle of a practice session , hundreds of hours without a single issue , and as I’m driving the sim just goes to my center monitor mid lap and the ini file upon inspection is totally back to normal pre triple monitor setup.
Hi
Thank you for the video. Ive been running on surround. What is the benefit of running it how youve explained here in the video?
Thank you 👍
Giga! now i know how to set triples up, even not owning them
:) haha. Happy to help
you got 3 flat screens you say. Can you use 3 box screens as well? lol
WELL WELL WELL
👋
Great video. I still use your FOV calculator.
Thanks a lot. Always good to hear
Please come back to TH-cam
On my way 👋
Where you been?
Where u been bro?
Streaming iRacing fulltime over on Twitch. Exited to be back making content
What if you have the center monitor a 27" 1440p and the two side screens are 24" 1080p? What changes need to be made or will it not work? I don't care about the border if that helps.
finally got it working!! after many vids and banging my head on the wall it is working. Not perfect and I will tweak it from here. I do have a little over lap on my left monitor, any suggestions what this might be from. Thank you again!
I made all the changes in the ini file however iRacing only shows up on middle monitor. In the Grapgic settings of iRacing I can not get it to change from 2560x1440 to 7680x1440. It just stays on 2560. Any ideas?
thank you
