Anyone do dual monitors?

[Luftwaffles]

I don't have room for 3, and I have an extra monitor. Does anyone do dual monitors? What would that entail?

I tried it out the other night...
Used NVIDIA Settings to set up NVIDIA Surround. It makes your 2 monitors into one big virtual Desktop.
Started DIRT Rally and it worked off the bat. But: My 2 monitors aren't identical, one's a 24" 1080p, the other a 22" 1650x1050. But the display height is almost identical.
Still, i think the main problem is, the center of your field of view sits right where the frames around your monitors are. I haven't found a way to shift that to the left or right, so it's very distracting/disorienting as it is...

Thanks for the helpful hints!
I fiddled around with the eyefinity settings, but couldn't get a satisfactory result yet... Will try again when I'm feeling up to it.

Hello there, i tried this FOV settings with the xml steam and GRID files, vut could not work with eyefinity or without it. The problem for me with Dirt Rally that i have two monitor and i want to play with SPLIT Screen mode, that the players are not above/below each other (the 2 player can play on 1 monitor, the 2nd monitor is just for a broadcast or something), but split to the 2 monitor (each player on a different monitor)
Is there any solution for this?
In radeon settings for EYEFINITY mode i can only set the 2 monitor with left to right (so vertically) and cant set them below/above placing -> that would solve this.

6 years later but since this thread still shows up on google, I will try to answer. It seems you want something like an arcade gig, where 2 players can play with one pc with each on their own monitor. Since the game doesn't support it natively, unless you can somehow split your pc to run 2 dirt rally games with 2 different accounts at the same time; it won't work. Or.. you can heavily modify the game to support such functionality, which.. I would imagine would be a very heavy undertaking.

tldr I don't think you can, you probably need 2 dirt rally games with different acounts running at the same time

Curious to know if anyone has successful adjusted the FoV for a custom 1080p res where you have half the horizontal resolution but full vertical resolution that then gets stretched back to full 1080p res with the correct aspect ratio.

So:
960 x 1080
But displayed at fullscreen, not in a window and stretched back to:
1920 x 1080 with the correct aspect ratio

So it looks correct?

As vertical resolution is way more important in a rally game (so you can see the bumps in the distance) than horizontal with the in-car cam as the dash etc take up so much room you typically only end up with a few hundred scanlines. But rescaler tools (DLSS etc) typically do both at the same time.

Not that I imagine anyone having graphics card performance issues that have have to run a lower res in Dirt Rally 1.0 these days (EA WRC definitely though!).
