Hey, I am looking to upgrade my monitors in the coming months, and figured I'd go for gold and get three 4k Monitors for my setup. I currently have a GTX 980 Ti and plan to use three Dell P2415Q's over Displayport. My graphics card does have three Displayport outs, but I read online about some cards not being able to support more than two without an active cable adapter for the third monitor. Can anyone give me some insight as to what I'd need to be able to run these monitors with this graphics card?

 

I'm also not 100% sold on the monitor, but it's the only one I found that has:

  • A 10-bit panel
  • 24 inch screen size or less
  • IPS Panel

If you have any other suggestions for monitors that fit that bill and would recommend over this one, I'm willing to listen. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the heads up on that, I guess I'll look for a different monitor in that case.

You can use it, it will just be 8 bit.

Yeah, I read the reviews on Amazon more closely and saw that the majority of them are using standard Desktop cards. I might search around for other similarly sized 4k Monitors, but I would really like to figure out if it's even viable on my graphics card due to my question above.

You should be able to daisy chain them together if you cannot directly output them from the GPU, however you should be fine with it
