2x 4k screen graphics

[pomkon]

If i have 2 4k monitors, would gtx1060 3g enough? rx460 2g? or even lower?

I dont game. I mostly watch videos. i.e. youtube at double speed. i will plan to have many videos playing at the same time.

Yes. You dont need a gaming GPU to run two 4K monitors, something as low spec a GT1030 could handle that

You dont need a benchmark to determine if a GPU can output two 4k 60fps signals. It either can or it cant. Since the GPU isnt rendering anything, it's just outputting images from youtube and your excel spreadsheets.

The GT 1030 is horrible.  Never suggest it.  It's way too expensive for its performance.

 

@pomkon Get a used GTX 750 or GTX 750 Ti.  It should be about half the price for very similar performance.  Both are actually faster than the 1030.

Also, a used 750 ti is the same price as a new GT 1030, not half

That's why you don't use eBay.  Especially not for a 750 Ti.  There have been lots of fake ones coming from China because it's such a better alternative to the 1030.  Even if they are the same price, it crushes them.  You need to look locally.  For example, I just got a 750 Ti for $45.  That's about what they're worth.

 

PS: You actually linked an new 750 Ti, not a used one.

My point was, something as low spec as a GT 1030 would be capable of doing what OP needed to do. It was not a recommendation, or a definitive "buy this", simply information he could use to determine his own conclusion.

Fair enough.  I see so many people on this forum suggesting the 1030 on here, with the assumption that, because the number is higher, it must be better.  It's gotten to the point where I'm probably just over-reacting to it.
