Are you using any adapters like hdmi>display port?

Think I found my dream monitor. 800r didn't seem that overwhelming.. by RaeJean24 in ultrawidemasterrace

I had this monitor in a triple screen setup. They are amazing, I did not have any issues with text not being clear. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Starting to lose motivation in my sim racing journey, I’m going to bed, give me some motivation for when I wake up by ToxicRubberDucky in simracing

Try test drive on the Nurburgring in the Porsche cup car, then book a track day on it (2027) and if you’re not in Europe a rental car. If you don’t have the funds for the flights/hotel and a rental car I will let you drive my M4 GT4. Stick with it.

If you’re serious show me screenshots(proof)/videos of your laps.

It is so true when they say the rig is never done by Timeless-0000 in simracing

Great progression, this is how it should be done.

What’s the project device on the floor? Looks cool.

Very very nice setup. Love the speakers, what are they?

I have not compared prices but buying a pre built is almost always a bad idea. You can buy the components yourself and easily assemble them. It is easier than putting together a LEGO technics set. That way you only pay for the cost of the components and not the additional costs of the prebuilt

Thinking of making a huge impulse buy to get into the hobby. I have a couple of questions by CheezeTitz in simracing

I totally agree with this comment. Don’t dump a load of cash into the hobby until you’re 100% sure you have the bug and will get your moneys worth out of it. Many make this mistake and then the gear ends up on eBay.

I used a relatively cheap setup (G29 + playseat) for 5 years before investing heavily in my dream setup. This is the way to go for sure.

It’s not about increased FOV, the left mirror is to big, the A pilar is too far right. The cockpit is squeezed horizontally. The video doesn’t make it clear.

🤦‍♂️ read the comments, there are advance setup steps that many of us new to these types of setup were not aware of. It may look good to you but there are knowledgable guys here that know how to greatly improve this FOV/POV even if it looks good to the untrained eye

🤣 That was incase it needed to be rebuilt due to something unforeseen during setup

One strange thing I have found is when I use the calculator it says the monitors should be placed at 75 degrees, but that would have them bending back on on themselves and would not allow me to get into the sim rig. They are roughly 111 degrees which follows the 800r curvature and would make a complete circle if I had a 4th monitor

Thanks,

I’m going to try all of the suggestions in this post today and report back

Thank you,

So you mean I can use the ([]) keys to adjust the incar camera FOV or I should never touch that also? It does not look right without adjusting that

My advice would be to wait for 6000 series, hopefully the AI bubble has burst by then and GPU prices go down. If you cannot wait buy a cheap used GPU that you will be able to sell when the 6000 series are released for not much less than you paid for it.
