[DX11] Help regarding Nvidia Profile Inspector (NPI)

Understood! Thanks for the explanation.

This is with the multimon of step two for three screens. The screens now are 45 degrees. For me it seems to be less than 45 degrees on the screen.

Or is it, as it is and I have to live with it?
On Nvidia Surround everything looks good so far. Raceroom with the 45 degrees setting, too.

The higher your FOV the more the side monitors narrow at the extremes.
For example, the right side of your windscreen height would be lower causing what i assume is the problem you see, the angle of the top of the windscreen bending down slightly.
Lower FOV will bend it back up & straighten the dash area, but you'll then not see your dash gauges... it's a compromise.

Objects like the armco look fine as they are in the centre of the screen area.

Glad to see you have the on screen steering wheel turned off... just like i do, who needs to see more than one wheel?

EDIT: Do you use head tracking or just mouse/keys to look around?
Just a thought, if you use mouse/keys then you could have a lower FOV and therefore lose sight of the dash but with a modded controls.sii file you could have a key that instantly looks down to the dash level and back to normal when you let go of the key, no messing with the mouse.

Mathematically, without doing any more adjusting (frustum subrect, ect.), you should set your FOV to match your monitor angles, which is 45° in your case. Then if you sit in the center with all monitors perpendicular to you, the view should look correct. However, 45° is quite narrow, and as JHTrucker mentioned, you won't be able to see the dash. The only way to increase the FOV while still being mathematically correct is to move closer to your monitor. For instance, if you want 50° FOV, you can move the side monitors to a 50° angle and sit closer so that you're perpendicular to all monitors again. Obviously, that assumes that you have room to move forward. I think I'm stuck with a maximum of 45° for my 27" monitors, I just can't get any closer.

@FormelLMS - I assume you've left us now... but i'll type this anyway.

Looking back at your triple pic, i've now realised you have a rather low pitch head angle. The driver side mirror is bending away rather than vertical, so the road into the distance isn't a long up hill climb, it's your in game head pitched down. The blue sign is getting close to the top of the screen where it would normally be just above the centre area. The result of this means the top right side of the windscreen is bending down also.
Check your view with different pitch values to see how it affects the side screen bending.

Hello, still with the settings you suggest, why did I experience a decrease in fps to below 20fps?
I often experience incidents like this. One time I was able to hit 30fps but another time it suddenly fell back below 20fps. I didn't mess with any settings though.

It's things like that that make me dizzy until now. It's hard to get the settings right.

Hello,

I've been able to solve this problem. Now I can get stable fps at 30-40fps, even 50-60fps. Although sometimes it still falls below 30fps but at least for me I still consider it normal because it depends on the situation and conditions.

But, I still have issues, rubber banding, or that's what it's called.
I've tried setting t_averaging_window_lenght to 60 but it's still not resolved.

Is there a solution I can do?

No no, I'm here. I have to say sorry that I'm so quiet sometimes. We have a newborn baby (12 weeks now) here.
Mostly I try something on my PC like ETS and the next second I have to do something for her and the last week I was alone with her. So sorry.
I read your post and will be happy to try those things out. Yesterday evening I've put all the screens new together because it looks a bit weird. Now I've checked at the millimeter, that both screens are 45 degrees. It looks like the right one was 49 degrees and the left 46. It's a bit hard because they are curved.

Yesterday evening it tooks me very long to do this proper. O then run some laps on Raceroom, where you can make every setting for triples on the fly and it looks now, that 45 degrees are perfect.

I will now have a look that I find today or tomorrow a timeslot for checking ETS and your Tipps now.

So thank you for looking for me

Sadly it seems as if you haven't understood what we mean by stable, constant FPS.
I want you to post your latest game log to start with!

Hello, sorry if I misunderstood.

This my game log

The settings in config.cfg is correctly set to get a stable, constant FPS=30, so if you don't
get that, but instead get varying FPS above that, you must have set some other Frame
Rate Limiter too, hence getting competing limiters. If that is the case, for us to see if that
is the case I would like you to take as many screenshots of NPI as needed to show all settings
and the same with NCP settings for 3D-settings for the game. Zip them all together and post
them here.
