aviramad Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Wait, you have three 4K monitors and you want to drive them all with your 1080Ti? is that right? I don't think you have enough horsepower to run it all with a 1080Ti. I'm not sure a 2080 Ti could drive all three 4K monitors and MFD monitors. Also HDMI splitters are used to send the same video to different sources so that won't help. Do you have the MFDs already working? Do you need helping with monitor config files? If that's the case, you can look at it here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2616874&postcount=799 Finally, for the hornet, the MFD names were changed. But I don't have them off the top of my head (I got rid of everything because I went with VR) Hi Hansangb, I changed the way to connects the 3 8" screens, i already purchased (but didn't receive it yet) from eBay Used* Matrox Triplehead2go T2g-dp-mif - DP instead the splitter of the HDMI. I plan to connect the 4th port of my Nvidia 1070Ti GPU to the Matrox Triplehead2go T2g-dp-mif - DP (3 ports are already occupied by the main 3 43" screens ), and I think/hope that the Matrox Triplehead2gocan deliver the ports to a 3 surround screens. As i see see from the eBay store , i believe that Matrox has an external power supply , so hope that will help me to have enough power to connect the additional 3 8" screens. do you think that maybe i wrong and no chance to get the 3 surround 8" screens ?

Many thanks for your opinion , BRIn case it isn't clear. The matrox is a display aggregator. It aggregates 3 displays into one "wide" one. 3 1024x768 displays become one 3072x768 display, etc. How you place DCS content on them is up to you and your DCS configuration.

The LT Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hi Lt, I took your advice and i purchased from eBay Used* Matrox Triplehead2go T2g-dp-mif - DP Edition paid 90US$ and waiting to get it. I have question, if i already have 3 screens (43" each one) that used my main screen of the cockpit (these connected to 3 DP ports of my DPU NVIDIA 1070Ti, and i intend to connect the 4th HDMI free port the the IN DP port of the Matrox Triplehead2go T2g-dp-mif , is the meaning that if i connect the 3 8" screens to the 3 output DP ports of the Matrox Triplehead2go T2g-dp-mif ,the Windows 10 will be able to identify these additional 3 screen individually ? Thank you in advance for your reply.It won't address them individually but you don't need that. It will be visible as one big monitor which is exactly what you want for dcs.

The LT Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Just a word of Warning, 1070Ti with such a config is grossly underpowered. Even an overclocked 2080Ti will struggle to get above 20 fps with 3x4K display + exports.

Thank you, I intend to run only the 8" screen via the Matrox Triplehead2go T2g-dp-mif - DP, the main 3 4K screens that i have connected to the Nvidia 1070 Ti GPU . and according your comments i will connect the Matrox Triplehead2go T2g-dp-mif - DP via a USB HUB that got backup electrical power from it power supply. Hope that it will success. Anyway, thank you for your support , highlight for me a lot of things that i didn't take in my consideration. :) Aviram_AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raisuli Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Or just cover up the unused portion of 8" Liliputs. I used a thin aluminum sheet (those "For Sale", Be Aware of Dogs signs and painted it matte black. Took 30 seconds to make. Or use the extra space to put the LCD control panel (still need to set the labels on this). Sorry it's not on; I really need to get an F-18 out and doing something interesting to take a better picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matrox will work fine to consolidate the screens for the MFDs. No worries there. But you keep mentioning three 4K monitors connected to 1070 (not 1080Ti). And neither 1070, nor 1080Ti will power three 4K monitors. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleader Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 What 11.6" screen are you using in 2020? I have 2 Cougar MFDs right now on an old 22" 1680x1050 Samsung monitor and it works fine but it's a heavy monitor by today's standards and drags the swivel arm down that it's attached to. I'd like to just get a nice 1080p 11.6 IPS screen but don't know what to look for. My monitor is hooked up to my 1070 via displayport (Freesync 75Hz 1440p monitor) which leaves me with an HDMI so I assume I look for a screen with HDMI? There are several on Amazon, but reviews are all over the place. Is it better to get one powered by USB? I've read that can really impact in-game performance. Any help appreciated.
