Using two 1030s for 4 monitors?

[AudacityTheEditor]

As evident by the title - is this possible? I have a 10900KF in my system now with 1 GT 1030. The 1030 has 2 DVI ports, which is fine most of the time, but I often need more than 2 monitors when I'm working. I have been waiting for a better GPU and then just using 4 displays from that, but that will be a few months and 2 1030s is a lot cheaper than a whole new GPU - especially considering current street prices. I have a motherboard that has 1 x16 slot and 1 x8 slot, so in theory I have enough slots, despite one not being great for gaming bandwith - although I'm pretty sure the 1030 only uses x8 anyway, so meh. But could I, in theory, run 2 non-SLI GPUs in the same system with the same desktop, same windows, etc, just extending my screen in a quad-monitor configuration. Would this cause an issue, or perhaps make the CPU run two separate "desktops" requiring different configurations, etc?

That will work perfectly fine. It's just adding display outputs. If you don't need to do anything graphically demanding on the other two monitors then you could just get something like a GT 710.

Will this have complications with "different desktops", or will the system automatically recognize what I'm attempting to do and properly give me 4 displays on one machine, viewable and modifyable in display settings. I'm also running Linux Mint, so I'm unsure if this will cause other issues, or if it's more of a Windows thing. I just want to ensure the system won't attempt to do a "VM" thing and create two separate desktops, both have two displays, but don't realize that the other exists and therefore not combining into 4.

No, that's not how it works. It will just enable you to connect more displays and extend the existing ones.

Awesome, thank!!
