Question Sim Racing - 3 Monitor at 1080P - what is min GPU?

[alexb75]

Hi,

I am getting into SIM racing (iRacing/rFactor), and getting my gears setup... question is GPU? I currently have an older GTX 1070, but now building a new AM5 PC with Ryzen 7900, 2TB SSD, 32GB DDR5, etc...

What is the GPU capable of running 3 monitors (1080P) at max settings? I assume my 1070 would struggle, right? If so, what's the bare minimum GPU needed? I also care about heat and noise, so like it to be cool and quiet!

Thanks

PS. I also play a few other older games (like Half Life 2, etc), but I assume sim racing on 3 monitors would be hardest requirement.

11400 with 3060Ti in both PC's. 4k (4x that of 1080p) with PC2 and ACC, both run well PC2 being older runs great albeit ACC is more demanding so details aren't maxed out, no anti aliasing applied at that resolution as there is no need and more fps as a result. I'd say for you, around the level of 4070Ti Super would be pretty good.

This setup with two 50" LG C1 displays.

4070Ti is a lot of money... would 4060/4060 Ti, or 6750/6700 XT do? or anything used?

I am trying to stick to $300-350 price, but can wait for Black Friday or used market if needed to get the right GPU.

Just an idea between cards.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Review

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is bizarrely named, but the specs look seriously great. We're talking 16GB of VRAM using AD103 silicon, indicating strong performance...

Probably wait for sales since it's just around the corner.

Thanks, I hope some massive sales though... GPU prices are absolutely ridiculous! I know it's mostly for AI crap, but come on! Mid-range cards are like $400?! WTF!
