Re: [DX11] Help regarding Nvidia Profile Inspector (NPI)

Hello.
I´m new here and found this opic by internet search for multi monitor setups.
I tried to set up my 3 displays in ets2 properly several times but it didn´t work as intended. Get them working like 1 big display is no problem - radeon software does it for me when i power up ets2. Changing the config to mode 4 wasn´t heavy, too. But then my problems started. Using 2 displays with 1680 x 1050 and 1 with 2560 x 1080 -> eyefinity does 5920 x 1050.
Found this guide in the net and tryed to change it so i can see my left window angeled. Got a disorted fiew ingame. I´m just not able to do the math behind it. So actual i just use 2 displays with the 40 degree solution from the guide.
Can somebody here help me to get it working? I prefer a vertikal fov 60 for now.
Greetings Paul

@Paulebaer1979

Welcome! To begin with, if you read the first post you'll notice that this topic is ONLY for Nvidia based cards.
BUT, we have a member of the forum, JHTrucker, that knows quite a lot about multi-monitor setups and the
configuration of them, so check in every now and then and I'm sure you'll get an answer from him in due time.

@Paulebaer1979 - If you are saying radeon software allows mixing of resolutions (unlike nvidia surround) then perhaps i can try to help.
How are your monitors arranged? Left 1680 45 degree angle - Centre 2560 - Right 1680 45 angle?
If so i'll make a file for you to test.

EDIT:
With a basic triple file I just altered the width of each image.
Left 28.4% (0.284) - Centre 43.2% (0.432) - Right 28.4% (0.284)
Then set centre VFOV 60 and set left/right fustrum size to 0.5 height/width.
This allows you to move the left/right image left/right.
Tweaked the left/right VFOV & fustrum x to align them with the centre image.
No magic spreadsheet used. Just alt-tab back and forward between game and file and "multimon reload" to see the changes each time.
The low quality image attached is 1365x242 that was a game window resolution i used to give the same aspect ratio of your 5920x1050 resolution.

@77_sirjordir

Right, I watched a video yesterday by TheClumsyGeek using v0.9 and he's also using this concept. Looked damn good to me!

This one.

Yes. This is my arrangement.
At the moment i use only 2 displays and drive this way:

Using the guide i mentioned before.
Tried this guide, too. Just cutted 400px at left and right side. Result was this:

Would be perfect, if i could see my dashboard until center of steering wheel like in the dual setting.
I´m sorry but i´m not able to see your attached files.

@Paulebaer1979

Ah, good to hear you got a good environment there now! I told you he's damn good at this.
Just ask if anything bothers you or you just want to know things!
