What are the gpu limiting factors to a multiple monitor setup? 1display at (3840x2160)? 2 displays at 1440p? 

------------quick back story---------

I recently completed a platform upgrade. First build was in 98. Every few years I will do a platform upgrade. I went with a ASUS 28" 4k monitor. (i6700k@4.6ghz, 16gb DDR4, hero viii, 1070ti+200mhz core, 960evo,850evo,4tbBlack)

---------back to the post-----------

I need my multiple displays for productivity. I am currently extending using older 20&24" 1080p monitors. I plan to replace at least one of those extended monitors with a 4k or 1440p monitor. 

 

What are my single 1070ti max resolutions in the following scenarios?

GTX 1070 TI (MSI Titanium)

3 display regular productivity (Microsoft Office)

3 displays - 1 gaming(4k to 1440p) 2 idle(hi-res background)

3 displays - 1 gaming 1 streaming video 1 idle (hi-res background)

3 display - 2 regular productivity 1 streaming  video

3 displays  video editing 

 

I believe gaming is the only wild card. Is there a multiview cbeat sheet by gpu? If there isn't someone should make one.

 

I also plan to covert my old i5|Win7|1050 into a Ryzen5|Linux|1050 machine. A dual monitor vertical setup is the plan. With only 2gb vram my options maybe to use my old 1080s.

The maximum resolution in all three scenarios is the maximum resolution the GPU can support on that port. If the port can support 4K 60Hz, it can do that regardless of what the other ports are doing.

Good deal. The main reason I ask is because of issues with the afore mentioned 1050.

What issues? The vram? 2gb is more than enough for just displaying. 

 

Also, we don't need a sheet/benchmarks for multimonitor configs because the graphicscard doesn't give a fck what the other monitors are doing. Unless they are rendering a game or something, the performance loss with multiple displays connected is maybe 0,5%.
