    Got a pretty decent PC with one EVGA GTX570 in it. I've currently got two monitors setup on it. I really want a 3 monitor setup, what is the lower spec nVidia card I'd need to have rFactor 2 look decent on the 3 monitor. It would be used as the left or right side and not main view?

    Also, is it as simple as ticking the box in the graphics settings?

    Turns out I would need AT LEAST another GTX 570 (unless I got something lower but then that would have to be my main GPU)

    Anyone know how AMD cards handle rFactor 2? Or am I best sticking with nVidia?

    Hi nickbalti. I am running an ATI card (6970) and it runs fr2 very well @5760 x 1080. It runs so well, I have not bothered to look at the fps yet. Will post my fps when i turn it on next (tues). With AMD's Eyefinity, you make your 3 screens one by choosing the 5760 x 1080 res and then when you start up rf2 you get that res as a choice. RF2 on 3 screens is great.
    My other sytem specs are-
    AMD FX-4170 Processor.
    ASUS Sabertooth 990FX Motherboard.
    16gb ddr3 Win7 64bit
    3 x Asus 24" mons.

    CSR-E Wheel
    Clubsport peddles
    Frex simhandbrake
    ART Chassis.

    My 7970 ATI runs 3 x 24' monitors with rf2 with every thing turned on full with no problem at all. Nvidia cards are ALWAYS trouble, especialy with new games. Google it.

    ASUS HD7970 DirectCU II combines an out of the box overclock of 1000Mhz, 3GB of blistering 5600Mhz GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit bus
