1 GPU can run anywhere from like 1 to 6 or 7. I think 5 is the most popular.

Nvidia limit is 4, amd is 6

And most popular is 3

Amd is slightly better for multi monitor but Nvidia has better SLI scaling.

There is really nothing bad about have 1 gpu per monitor but scaling, sync not to mention price is probably the 3 biggest cons for it.

2 gpus for 1-4 monitors is most ideal, however some cards just don't have enough ports so it's important you look at that before buying the cards.

Especially if your going for a 144hz results on all monitors.

If your only going for 60hz then even HDMI will cover it and you don't have to think too much about it.

I just thought that conect each monitor to each gpu can give me more power that conect the 3 monitors to the first and use the other 2 gpu's by sli. What do u think? 3x SLI for 3 displays connected to the first one or each display in each gpu.

 

BTW: I'm using 1 X Asus pg278q ROG Swift with 2 Way SLI GTX 780, but i just wanted to know how can I have the most power in my screens if i upgrade to a 2x Display setup.
