Can My GTX 1060 6GB Handle 3 Monitors (2-144Hz, 1-75Hz)

Yes, this will work fine. Having multiple monitors doesn't significantly affect frame rate unless you are gaming on all of them at once.

 

Having videos playing can affect frame rates though. Hard to say by how much.

Hey,
So I have a i5 4670K overclocked to 4.2GHz, a ASUS DUAL GTX1060 6GB OC Edition, 8GB DDR3 RAM

Currently having 1 - 144Hz Monitor, 1 - 75Hz

Everything is fine and I have enough fps while playing different games (More than 144 fps).

I was wanting to get another 144Hz monitor because I really need another one. (Don't feel like explaining specific details lets say I'm self employed and I really need it for the stuff I do.)

I own a acer gn246hl (144Hz - main monitor) and a acer gf246 (managed to get it on 75Hz).

 

My 144Hz is on a DVI-D and the 75Hz is ona DP (144Hz doesnt have a dp only a DVI-D)

Since my GTX doesnt have 2 DVI-D ports (like most dont) I found a good 144Hz monitor that uses a dp (asus vg248qe) so I'll have 1-144Hz on DVI-D, 1-75Hz on DP and 1-144Hz on DP

I'm pretty sure everything will be fine for my job, but I don't know how much will my fps tank when I'm playing games on a 144Hz monitor and there is stuff like videos or twitch streams moving on both screens in the same time. All replays are really appreciated :)

So if the main was for gaming and the second was for monitoring apps and maybe a few Chrome tabs that wouldnt affect performance in the game to much?

Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Corsair H105, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite, Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3600MHz, EVGA RTX 3070Ti FTW3, Samsung 850 Pro / WD SN850 / OCZ Trion 150

 

ASUS MG279Q, Corsair Carbide 275R

Only in that Chrome is a memory suck and if you had a handful of chrome tabs open you'd eat up memory you may want for the game. 

Ryzen 7 2700X , Asus Prime X570-Pro, Bykski CPU Block, AMD Vega 56, Barrow GPU block, g.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB PC2800, Dual EKWB SE360 Radiators, Corsair RM750x PSU. All in a Lian-Li PC011 Dynamic XL case.
