My GTX 260 used to drive three screens remarkably well (via a TripleHead box, which
is no longer cost effective... it's cheaper to buy a new ATI card). If you had a
second PCI-E slot you might be able to pick up a cheap second card for Soft-TH
(lots of topics about this on the iRacing forums if I remember correctly). But with
a 27" main screen the mismatch in sizes might be a bit too disorientating. An inch
or two would be tolerable, but that's a big gap.
It is, as I say, a superbly immersive step, but I've never used a big single
monitor and it may well be that this makes up for it quite a lot. You can, after
all, use a wider FOV before the view starts to look "wrong".

PS I've just remembered you can run iRacing in a window if you have a two screen
desktop, and at least have peripheral vision on one side.
