New Build - Sim Racing Triple Monitor Setup

E30CG · Monday at 22:34

I’m looking to build a triple monitor 1440p setup to be used exclusively for sim racing. It will have little to no other use other than this, so as much as I want to have a good setup for this, I’m looking for areas I could potentially cut back on.

CPU wise I was looking at an i7-12700kf, but would an i5 do the job?

GPU wise I’ve been looking at an RTX 4070 but unsure if a 4060 would cut it?

Any recommendations for a full build would be appreciated. Looking to keep it as close to, or below 1k if possible?

Hi and welcome.

Running triple 1440p screens you want the best GPU you can afford but the 7800xt is faster than the 4070 and has more vram.

Have you looked at any benchmarks?

Sims often like the X3D chips by AMD, although it does depend on which games/sims exactly you're looking to play? It's hard to suggest a GPU without knowing the exacts either, some will prefer AMD over Nvidia etc.

Most racing games these days are VR compatible. Would a decent VR headset not be a better choice?
