So you are saying i can run 4K monitor with GTX 210 lol

they don't make a gtx 210

if you meant the gt 210 that card doesn't support 4k resolution or 4 outputs

I don;t recall mentioning this card at any point

and it would last longer. it also has a better price per performance.

the card slifespan is no longer than the 1050

it would have worse price to performance as they aren't using this for any 3d applications

so you are spending money with no performance increase on an aspect of the gpu you aren't using

[lonelybro]

Yep, thats right

Ok, lets make this clear.

I will buy the cheapest GPU that supports 4K with 4 outputs

if you went with a single 4k monitor or tv, you would be fine with a gtx 1050.

 

i think it would be best if you made up your mind on what display setup you wanted to go with first. it would make it easier for us to help you pick the gpu.

My display setup is 2x2 - 4K resolution

Each monitor is Full HD

if you had 4 1080p monitors setup to display as 1 image. would the gpu have to support 4k? or would it just be 4 1080p outputs likje it would be if it was displaying 4 seperate images?

the gpu has to support the final resolution

a gt 210 .... could support 2 1080 monitors , so technically two 210s could support 4 total in the right configuration , but these cards cannot combine these displays and they would all work as 4 displays and not a single unified display

for a single unified display you have to use a card that supports 4 displays and 4k resolution

I was kidding about GT 210

would have made this easier if we knew you already had the monitors.

 

but i agree with emosun. a gtx 1050 should be perfectly fine. you can find them for around $130 right now.

and i just checked, the 1050 has 3 hdmi output, and 1 displayport output. so you should be good to go with that.

Its a 4K when you combine 4 1080p monitors, right?

I need one image on 4 monitors, no separate images on each monitor.

thats correct. so for your use, a gtx 1050 should be perfectly fine.

[lonelybro]

I agree.

GTX 1050 Ti saves the day

Thanks

actually. the 1050 has 1 DVI-D, 2hdmi, and a display port. idk what io your monitors have, but regardless the 1050 is fine. depending on your monitors, you may need a dvi to hdmi cable. just wanted you to know for when you were ordering your cables if you dont already have them

you dont even need the ti version. the regular 1050 is fine.

Good luck with your project.
