I didn’t pay attention to what background processes were running on my PC, as this it is only used for gaming - sim racing specifically (I don’t even have microsoft word installed on it), and I don’t think there would be much running. IGP multi-monitor enabled for QSync tests.Ĭomcast: 27ms - ping, 90Mbps - down, 12Mbps - upĮven though I would normally be running a bunch of other programs in the background in support of the sim (Sim Commander 4, Z1 dashboard, iSpeed, DashMeterPro server, trading paints, and so on) which may also have an impact on performance, the only apps I had running during my benchmarks were iRacing, Chrome, Fraps, MSI Afterburner, and OBS. Here are the specs for my system on which the benchmarking was performed.īIOS Version E821IMS V2.9, XMP enabled for true 1600 MHz,

All of this was done in offline test sessions with no other cars on the track to eliminate any variability. I figured Daytona is one of the more graphically tasking tracks in iRacing, especially at night. Since iRacing doesn’t have a benchmark, I benchmarked each scenario by running 2 laps of the Daytona International Speedway road course at night in an Audi R8 LMS, and recording the min/max/ave frames per second using FRAPS. The system was fully powered off before any hardware changes were made. All secondary cards were run at stock speeds. Yes, I know - I’ve always used EVGA cards and I might be a fanboy without realizing it. The fourth monitor will be connected to my system by these methods while driving and streaming iracing.ġ: Triple monitors only, no OBS Ģ: Triple monitors only, with OBS runningģ: Fourth monitor connected via the primary gpu (EVGA GTX 980 TI)Ĥ: Fourth monitor connected via Integrated Graphics Processor (Intel HD Graphics 4600)ĥ: Fourth monitor connected via secondary low-end card (EVGA GT 610)Ħ: Fourth monitor connected via secondary mid-range card (EVGA GTX 650 TI)ħ: Fourth monitor connected via secondary high-end card (EVGA GTX 670 FTW)Ĩ: Fourth monitor connected via secondary external/USB 2.0 card (Eclipse SEE2 UV150)ĩ: Fourth monitor connected via secondary external/USB 3.0 card (Generic ebay card) I decided to perform a benchmark to investigate the effects on performance. These different methods will have different impacts on performance especially if one is also streaming. How the fourth monitor is connected has always been a point of curiosity for me as I have seen/heard/read of people doing it all sorts of ways. Most sim racers that have a triple monitor setup would like to add a fourth monitor (or 5th if you are like me) for telemetry, other secondary apps, and OBS if they also stream.
