New AMD gpu's come soon
price will be around 700 euros for a cars that compares to 2080 nvidia
vega and rx series wasnt fast enough to support AAA titles with 1440 monitors at high fps
very good news for ppl with freesynq monitors

Yes, that does sound very exciting, 'AMD Radeon VII'...:)...I will have to read some reviews on the AMD card....but I am more than happy with my Asus ROG Strix 2070.

your gpu is very good no need to upgrade

I had no intension of upgrading and I already have a Triple Screen set up ( see a photo of my rig below):)....but I like to keep myself informed of new tech.
SIM RIG 2x TSS with SCREENSHOT Raceroom.jpg

...To many shifters you think...No Way...LOL
I drive right hand drive cars in my country, so the 2 left shifters are 1x Handbrake (TSS), 1x H-Pattern (TH8A)...this configuration is the most natural for me to drive in and absolutely perfect for 'Dirt Rally' when driving manual H-Pattern and using the Handbrake as I use my left arm / hand for shifting those shifters.:D
The right side shifters are 1x Sequential (TH8A) and also 1x Sequential (TSS)...the TH8A is plugged directly into the TS XW wheel base so when I set up 'Shift Up' and 'Shift Down' in game I can use either Paddles or Sequential when driving. The TSS Sequential Shifter is USB connected and I use for most GT3 type cars and Left Hand drive cars ( which is most cars in Sims...LOL) when I have to re-map the Shift Up and Down.
What is fantastic about rFactor 2 is that I can map the 'Shift Up' and 'Shift Down' with the Paddles and TH8A and there is also and additional Shift Up and Shift Up function that can be mapped so I can map my TSS Sequential shifter as well...so effectively allowing me to use Paddles, TH8A and TSS Sequential Shifters all at once....rF2 is the only Sim I have found so far that allows this...Brilliant.

Thanks for posting. Just last night I ordered this card in a new build with a i5 8600k because my old card 980 and 2500k just wasn't cutting it in vr especially with the new improved content 397 are putting out. Can't wait to test new rig in vr.

You will probably be able to run full smoothness at around max graphics. The only i notice on triple screen that can give me a little drops under 60FPS is (if everyting is at max to begin with) if post processing is on "ultra". I have it dialed back to medium when i drive and i cant really see any difference, but for screenshots it can be nice to put it to max. But all on max except post processing which is on medium then i have 60FPS solid when driving and in replays - even when looking at a full grid of cars. So my bet is you will be able to run decently high settings and get your 90(?)FPS for smooth racing.

There are too many handbrakes and shifters there. :D ... like if you have 4 arms

Im a bit jealous of that. No matter if he drives right side cars or left side cars he is set! :) I have to move my stuff, but luckily i can relatively easily hehe.

LOL...not to many shifters at all:D...just the right amount...
I drive right hand drive cars in my country, so the 2 left shifters are 1x Handbrake (TSS), 1x H-Pattern (TH8A)...this configuration is the most natural for me to drive in and absolutely perfect for 'Dirt Rally' when driving manual H-Pattern and using the Handbrake as I use my left arm / hand for shifting those shifters.:D

You can use Software such as 'JoyToKey' if you want to map multiple shifters such as Sequential to 2 keyboard buttons....this is great for Sim Bins RACE 07 and Automobilista:D...but did not work in Assetto Corsa.
 
I appreciate that I am very late to the party but I am just setting up my first sim racing rig and this issue is very relevant to me.
My current monitor is a very nice 31.5inch/2560x1440/144hz MSI curved screen powered by a vanilla MSI RTX 2070/i7 8700K but I would like to have a screen set up that offers more peripheral vision.
In a perfect world I would like to get 2 more identical MSI screens but I very much doubt the RTX 2070 would be sufficient for the resultant 7680x1440 resolution.
Next option is would be a 49 inch super-wide screen Samsung (either 5120x1440 or 3840x1080).........would the RTX 2070 cope at a decent frame rate?
Final option would be to get three 27 or 28 inch monitors running at 1920x1080 (hopefully at 100hz+)..........again, would the RTX 2070 cope?
All these options involve quite a bit of expense and so would much appreciate the views of those who have 'been there & done that' before I take the plunge and waste a big pile of my hard earned £'s.
Thanks very much :-)

Thanks for showing some interest...yes, you possibly could get more...as when I was researching the specs on the RTX 2070 I was looking at the 4K performance and thought the same as you as my resolution is less than 4k so...'I should get even better results'....and it has exceeded all my expectations so far.
Please Note: I have read that a lot of the RTX cards are failing / dying and I have taken the 'Leap of Faith' in the hope it does not happen to me...so this might be something to be aware of before purchasing a new RTX card.
