1 gtx 1080ti with 2 monitors

[Marcelo Valerio]

Hi everyone!

I would like to know if 1 gtx 1080ti I´ll be able to run a set up with 2 monitors asus MG28UQ or if that would be too much for the graphic card and only when being in SLI would be able to delivery a dual scream 4k 60hz experience 

 

thanks in advance

Not in 4k and how would you play on 2 screens anyways

Hi Himommies!
I was thinking about connecting the hdmi 2.0 one in each monitor connecting into the gpu which has 2 hdmi and 2 displayport

Of like that.I was thinking about in games FPS.That should work and both will run at 4k 60fps.(not in game)

Use Displayport though.

for shooting games can be quite trick... not sure if is functional but for racing games can be quite something ;D
so instead of the HDMI 2.0

would be better to use which version of the display port?

 

just to make sure that i got it right

you are saying that it will work without problems the two monitors at 4k and 60hz

Use the newest decent quality one you can get.

Welcome to the forum! The 1080Ti can handle 2 monitors easily, yes, and it'll perform well in 4k games.

However, no one really games across only 2 monitors; you'd game on one, and have other stuff on the other, or simply have it turned off.

A 1080Ti can get 60fps or damn near in most games, especially if you go down to High instead of Ultra.

You need to quote someone like I've quoted you here or tag them like this @Marcelo Valerio if you want them to see you've replied to something they've posted.

I agree though, use DisplayPort.

There's only one version of DisplayPort.

I wouldn't feel comfortable for OP doing it on 2 4k displays.I know the TI can do it on one monitor

thanks   @dizmo i didn´t know about this function ;D
and thanks everybody for the quick answer

i thought there were a few different types of displayport and hdmi

which would be hdmi 1.4 and hdmi 2.0

and for the display port would be

displayport 1.2 and 1.3 or 1.4 not sure i just saw something about it but i understood it wrong

I guess technically yes, but DP 1.2 is from 2007. Pretty much everything now has 1.4 if you're buying new hardware.

Hi @Himommies 

I just purchased the monitors and soon I´ll order the graphic cards

building my pc slowly as the money allows me to do ;D

at the moment still using my laptop for editing gaming and everything also

but hopefully quite soon ill have all components for my pc

bought first the monitor because i could already use it for editing and take advantage of the gain in image quality jumping from a native 1080p into 4k

gaming i know that would be possible until have the rig running

because my laptop does run the latest games ;( so in 4k it would be even worst

but a peace at a time ill get there

[Marcelo Valerio]

i didnt know about that either ;D

ill search for dp 1.4 then 

and i guess that 2m maximum 

longer than that would be a problem for the cable 

or at least is what im reading from the people reviewing the cables that im looking on amazon
