    A good driver will even succeed on a wooden stool uncomplainingly, while the bad one will always point to his 1500 bucks gear as "still not perfect" ;)

    Or like me, you have the triple screens and Nice gpu, still stink, and totally realize it's my driving, not the gear. Either way it's fun to build a nice rig (mines still not perfect ;) ) even for bad drivers!

    Sorry for double post but on phone and had to mention I love the way you've adjusted your FOV to match a real life cockpit....on a single screen no less.... Very cool!

    Hi folks
    Just upgraded to a new rig. Specs include an overclocked Intel® Six Core i7-5820K,
    2 x Zotec Nvidia GTX 980ti Amp Extreme GPU in SLI, 16GBs of KINGSTON HYPER-X FURY DDR4 2400MHz ram and a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD drive.

    Playing on 3 x Samsung 40 inch TV's. Only 60HZ, but love the huge display.



    I'm racing Project Cars in this video. Although it looks amazing when playing in the rain and on ultra settings, it's not as good as Raceroom, in regards to the actual driving.

    Thanks. I didn't bother to go down the triple screen path with more expensive hardware requirements, and a single screen of that size, this close works pretty well for me. Furthermore, a big single screen is so tall it can be fitted way below the steering wheel, in order to get a proper view of the dashboard, which was one of the things I was aiming for with the setup. When I'm driving, all I can see is the screen and the wheel. :)

    And as far as I know, most Sony tv screens have fairly little lag. Probably more than a good pc screen, but not so much that it bothers me.
