Minidisplayport Help: Can I?

Ok, so I want to run a 1440p 21:9 and 2 16:9 1080p monitors off of the same port, all @ 60hz. The laptop I would use this with is the Asus ROG GL502VS. So, would I be able to do this? also, what cables would I need?

BTW I need all links for amazon.

Easiest way to do this would probably be a thunderbolt 3 dongle, but you could also use the mini displayport with a hub. both would work.

It only has USB 3.1 for the Type C port, and all 3 monitors support daisychaining

oh yea...

just use mini DP

it can support 4K 60Hz, so it has enough bandwith for 2x1080p and 1440p at 60Hz too.

He won't need a hub if he's daisy-chaining, you just plug each monitor into the previous monitor in the chain.

Just get a mini displayport to normal displayport, and daisy chain your three monitors.

Damn.

you put tons of effort into your responses. +1 respect.

Literally nobody else would've looked up the monitor itself, and seen if it came with a mini displayport.

Mini DP works with Thunderbolt 2, right? Couldn't Thunderbolt 2 handle those monitors?
