GPU overclocking for more monitors. How to? is it worth it? do u have some tips from experience?

[Tym2000]

Hey y'all I got 2 more monitors, they are being shipped and shall arrive on Friday and I'm a bit concerned whether my rog 1070 can handle 3 EliteDisplay E232 (23") and I would like to do some light overclocking. The 1070 is quite new so tip "just get better GPU, eh?" ain't helpful. If you have some tips for overclocking, go ahead. I dont think this post belong to overclocking cuz it's about "do I need to overclock". I would like to play overwatch, don't strave together, mirror's edge, portal 2, abzu, maybe robocraft.
My specs are:
 

ryzen 5 3600x 6 cores 12 threaths
1070
16GB ram 3200MHz
b450 aorus elite (motherboard)
600W power supply
4 rgb vents 120mm
120mm air cpu cooler
500GB ssd (nvm m.2)
1TB hdd
Thanks

If you plan on gaming on just one monitor and the others for stream chat, Discord etc then you'll have no problems.

My gpu usage with 3 monitors is like.. 1-2%. You're worrying about nothing.

You'll be pushing a lot of pixels, as long as your expectations are in check then i'm sure you'll manage a smooth experience but likely not high fps.

 

As for OCing the 1070, it probably is worth it.  I've OC'ed a few 1070s and 5-10% uplift can be had.  What kit of DDR4 3200 do you have?

Okay, the majority of them aren't difficult to run, that being said: overclocking won't fix anything at 5760x1080 that doesn't already run well enough. It either will run fine (adjust settings to be lower) or it won't. just my 2cents playing at this resolution.

My 5700XT at stock has no problems running a game at 4K on main monitor, video at 1080 on second monitor, and discord on third. You should be fine.

Oc won’t help much. Just hope the games support surround gaming. Or else you’ll have to get some fixers. 
Just be ready to turn the settings down and hope for the best.
