    Thanks for the triple monitor setup. I didn't have multi view turned on and hadn't gotin it to come up.

    I looked at multiview and compared it with AMD's Eyefinity. They aren't identical, but I found the FPS hit on multiview with one video card was not worth it. Eyefinity on an R9 380 runs generally around 90 fps at approx 5900x1080. When I tried multiview, I got a lot of stuttering and a lot fewer fps. If you don't mind the perspective issues with Eyefinity and you have an AMD, it's worth trying out both schemes and choosing the one that suits you best.

    I start rFactor 2 at jan 2014 with one 20" monitor.
    2 month past become 3 monitor 23" with old card gtx660 no problem.

    After change feel like find the new world.
    Very Impressive Indeed.
    Triple monitor is item that you must have in Racing Simulator.

    R3E RaceRoom Racing Experience
    does't support full Triple monitor.
    If turn off Multi View option in rFactor 2.
    2 Side picture will equal R3E that make feel pictures too flat does not real.

    Look like play Crysis 3 in triple also.

    The big FPS drop is Shadow.

    Try to set Shadow: low or medium will help FPS a lot 10-20 FPS.
    When I use with GTX660 I must set it to off or low.
    with GTX970 medium all time.

    Hope will Help you.

    I tried this again tonight. I dropped the shadow from medium to low and got a boost of about 30fps when running Eyefinity alone and the same when running multiview. It's a nice improvement and I couldn't say that I know what shadow did because I didn't see any difference. Thanks for the tip.

    Shadow in rFactor 2 is the real FPS Killer ! rFactor 2 Sim Racer must know about this.

    Sorry to bump such an old thread guys!
    Is there a way to run triple screens without activating surround?
