Triple Screens

1. Core Triple Screen Setup (Game Side)

Before worrying about overlays, make sure your triple screens are correctly configured in the sim itself:

• Set the correct combined resolution for all three monitors (for example 5760×1080, 7680×1440, etc.).
• Use the sim’s triple-screen or multi-monitor configuration tool if it has one (enter screen width, distance, angle and bezel settings).
• Ensure all three monitors are the same resolution and refresh rate where possible.

Once the game looks correct and natural without overlays, then bring RaceLab into the picture.

2. Display Mode for Triples and Overlays

For triple screens with overlays, a common starting point is:

• Borderless window mode at the full triple-screen resolution.
• Desktop configured so the three monitors are arranged left-to-right in the correct order in Windows display settings.

This lets RaceLab draw overlays anywhere across the combined desktop space.

3. Overlay Placement Across Three Screens

With triples, think about where your eyes naturally look:

• Centre screen: track, apex, near-distance information. Only place critical overlays here (relatives, flags, maybe small fuel).
• Side screens: secondary information that you can glance at when needed (extended standings, extra stint details).

A simple starting layout:

• Relatives overlay at lower centre on the middle screen.
• Fuel / stint overlay at lower right on the middle screen or the inner edge of the right screen.
• Optional extended standings towards the far left or right side screen edge.

4. Common Triple Screen Problems with Overlays

Image Shifts or Gets Squashed When Overlays Load

• Double-check the game resolution has not reverted or changed.
• Confirm borderless/window mode is still set correctly.
• If this only happens in a specific sim, check that sim’s troubleshooting page for known triple-screen issues.

Overlays Appear Only on One Side

• Make sure the game is running on the combined triple-screen desktop area, not “maximised” on a single monitor.
• Reset overlay positions and drag them across the combined width.

5. Performance Tips for Triples

Triples are heavier on the GPU than a single screen. Overlays add a bit more work, so you may notice:

• Lower frame rates when overlays are active.
• Occasional stutters when large layouts load.

Ideas to help:

• Use fewer overlays on triples than you might on a single screen – quality over quantity.
• Lower some heavy graphics options in the sim (shadows, reflections, crowd and environment detail).
• Test with any extra overlay or monitoring utilities closed.

6. Checklist for Triple Screen Issues

When things go wrong, run through this checklist:

1. Game triple-screen setup correct with no overlays?
2. Sim running in borderless window or windowed mode at the full combined resolution?
3. Windows display layout correct (monitors left→right, no duplicates)?
4. RaceLab layout reset and overlays dragged to sensible positions?
5. Other overlay tools disabled while testing?

7. Next Steps

Once your triple-screen layout feels solid, you can:

1. Save your RaceLab layouts so they do not need constant adjustment.
2. Visit the main VR & Displays Overview page for more general tips.
3. Check Troubleshooting or the sim-specific pages if triple-specific bugs persist.

After this, you should mainly be racing, not reconfiguring – only returning here when changing hardware or sims.
