Using 3 monitors with ETS2

[grumbles069]

I am running 2 (SLI) x Gigbyte Nvidia GTX 780 graphics cards. My System is: SSD 2Tb: Intel Core 7 3.40Ghz/12Mb: Ram 64Gb (2133MHz) DDR3

The monitors are Asus 27" 1Ms, 80M:1 HDMI DVI. The monitors worked on MS Flight Sim. I have not used that in years and went to a single 42" Ultra 4K screen and TrackIR.

Now I would like to switch to the 3 screens. The cards run excellently in SLI mode with a single screen, however I have heard that Nvidia cards (running multiple screens) may not be supported in ETS2.

For those who are running 3 screens, what cards are using? Thanks in advance, Jeff

Using a GTX 1080Ti with 3 x ASUS 27" VS278Q 1ms monitors all with Display Port.

Used to have a GTX 980, that worked well too..

Both ATS and ETS2 work well, the 1080T1 with everything on max still runs all 3 monitors at 60 fps, and about 45 in the city.

Thank you for your reply.

For some reason or other, my Display Port does not recognize my monitor, despite swapping cables, monitor combinations. I have run a HDMI to HDMI cable from the card to monitor and it now recognized.

When the computer is booted up, my mouse is able to be viewed in all screens when I move it across. When I start ETS2, the middle screen only displays the game, and the mouse controls movement of views. What do I need to do, to get the left and right screens to become active in the game, so that I can change the views, please

You will need to edit the config file in the documents folder, not the one in the profile, the one in the main ERS2 folder..

Locate the line

uset r_multimon_mode "2"

Make sure there is 2, not a 0

More info here at the official site..

You'll see there that mode 2 is angle in a corner, choose mode 1 if your monitors are all straight.

Once this is done, load the game, open profile, goto graphics settings and choose the size, mine is 5760x1080.

I will give it a go. The link to ETS2 multimon is very helpful too. Thank you very much for your help.
