Ok so i know i wanna give SLI a try in 2019(I plan to get the newest NVidia card at that time) and i was thinking what if i did this, link 2 gpus(newest at the time) but use one as a dedicated monitor(i plan to get 3 4k monitors) card and the other to run the graphics of the games at an extremely high framerate in 4k(60fps minimum)

 

is this a good idea or bad idea??

If i told you my rig, it would be this, my dream rig makes supercomputers look weak and in serious need of upgrading

Yeah i know that but i was like if my comuter used 1 gpu for my display and another for my video games graphics it should ease the "burden" on the gpu, right?
