Yes, I can google and I did but the results ar mixed so couldn't find a clear answere to the question. Just putting some keywords and pasting some randim results here will not help much. In theory there could be multiple answeres so I want to hear/read it from someone who actually tried it and can describe the results. But thank you for trying.

I was wondering how many FullHD 60Hz monitors can a single Asus Strix GTX 1060 6G drive. It has: - 2x DP 1.4 - 2x HDMI 2.0b - 1x DVI-D I am not sure if all the outputs can be used in the same time and not sure how DP Daisy-Chaining works/count. In theory a single DP 1.2 can drive up to 4 FullHD monitors. So if I count only the 2 Display Ports then 8 monitors. If the HDMI outputs can be driven together with the DPs, then in total 10 monitors. It would be interesting if you guys could try it to see how far you can go Note: I'm not talking about surround gaming setup. Just simply how many desktops can this single GPU drive

1. Yes, it is a good idea 2. You can use the 2nd (empty) disk drive to install Ubuntu on it, just make sure to select the 2nd drive when you are installing to don't wipe out your windows installation. Ubuntu should automatically detect your Windows installation and it should configure it as dual boot via Grub 3. It depends Maybe Ubuntu is not the best choice if you are interested in performance on relatively old hardware https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Lightweight_GUI_alternative_.28Xubuntu_and_Lubuntu.29
