I have a 6 monitor setup and 3 of my monitors are on a slower older card as my RTX 2080 ti only has 3 display ports and one HDMI port.
The three monitors that are set up to my older GPU have tiny bezels and are all the same size and manufacturer so they are perfect for racing games.
The problem is, my older GPU cant run modern racing games at good frames and I don't want to have to change around all my monitors every time I want to play a racing game...

 

So, I was just wondering if there's any possible way that my RTX 2080 ti can do all the heavy work while my old GPU is literally just there to act like 3 extra hdmi ports.

Nope, not possible. Your GPU can't render the image and then somehow send it to another GPU for output.

Displayport daisy chaining is a thing, if your monitors are capable of that. But you need to take into account that GPUs have a limitation how many pixels they can output (per port as well as totally). Otherwise no.
