    VR is definitely better than widescreen wrap-around monitors for gaming immersion. I’ve tried both and they are both great but VR is better. I noticed that I could drive significantly better in Assetto Corsa the first time I tried in VR mode, and I could actually get close to winning for a change. But it was a PITA to get working

      both great but VR is bette

      Which games are good with multi-monitors? Ive been running triple setup for a while now for productivity, but I cant think of one game that scales well across monitors, though Im generally not into sims/racing and afraid of buying something to spend 2hrs refund period fiddling with settings only to find it wont work aftterall. Which one would you suggest to try?

        First person shooters either get you incredible FOV or incredible distortion on the side screens, depending on the engine. Also, pulling out a rocket launcher and having it take up the entire right display is just kind of funny the first time you do it.

        Morrowind lets you pin your character sheet, inventory page, etc to stay open while playing, so you can have your center screen be the standard area with the side screens showing all your other stuff.

        Flight sims, because vr has too little resolution to read the instruments. Though putting zoom on your hotas can make vr work and then it’s obviously awesome as well

        But the real answer is eve online

        Back in the day (like cataclysm era) multi monitor for WoW was pretty great if you were using a bunch of addons and also wanted more peripheral vision. As a raid healer, 3 monitors was pretty legitty.
