Hey guys! I have a question: What are displayporthubs, what do they do, and how would I be able to set it up? Thanks in advance!

 

DP hubs basically give you the ability to split off say a single DP port and connect multiple displays and control them individually as their own space up to a max of three screens on one splitter.

Turns one DisplayPort output into several. They're useful if your graphics card only has one DisplayPort output but you want to hook up multiple DP monitors. The combined spec of the monitors is still limited to the capabilities of a single DisplayPort output though, so up to 4x 1080p monitors at 60Hz or 2x 1440p at 60Hz.

Your question is already answered, but just wanted to add something slightly relevant (But probably not at all helpful to you) 

 

When DisplayPort 1.3 comes around and starts being integrated more, it will be able to output up to 2x 3840x2160 (4K) at 60Hz (@ 24-bit) instead of the current limited 2x 1440p at 60hz :)
