Just looking for some feedback on whether this will be possible. I currently have a Gaming PC and very rarely use it to game these days. I primarily use it for work related tasks and have decided I'd be better served with a Surface pro 3 or 4. I also currently have 3 x 1440p displays that are capable of daisy chaining and I would like to know if I picked up a Surface pro with a docking station would this be able to run my 3 1440p external displays? 

 

Thanks in advance.

3 of them? probably not, thats a pretty damn high for a small gpu, maybe 1, or 2 if you are lucky, but i would say forget 3 of them :/

if you get the new surface with the dedicated GPU then you probably could, im not sure that it would be physically possible though.

I've seen it advertised that the pro 4 could run two but no mention of 3. I wasn't sure if this was due to the dock having only 2 ports or if it just didn't have enough grunt to do it. I suspect the Surface Book will do it no problems but I was hoping I wouldn't need to go for something with the GPU as the costs obviously start to shoot up. I'm now used to having my 3 displays for productivity purposes and reluctant to go down to two.
