OK, I'm now a little more confused than I was when I started. I have two 4K screens (Samsung U28E590D) that I want to use in day to day work. Maybe some streaming, but the most intensive game I would play is Cities: Skylines Any suggestions on what is the minimum GPU that will reasonably drive them? I've backordered a GTX 1660 at $315. Would a 1650 Super be enough? - Evan On Tue, 30 Mar 2021 at 10:46, Lennart Sorensen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

gives a possible reason for the problem - - - - (one sales agency lists a 'Resolution and refresh rate' and for an RX6900XT said space is 7680x4320 or an 8k space) the gpu just isn't rated for a 7680x2180 space.
Here I have a 7680x3000 space - - - but - - - - I'm running 2 gpus - - - that has its own 'problems'!
If I had to rebuild my system (not retaining any monitors) I would likely go to 3 - 4k monitors and maybe 3 moderate gpus or if finances were available - - - seldom are - - - 3 mid-upper end - - - - just checked and even an nvidiia 3090 (brand I will no longer consider) where there are 5 ports yet only 4 monitors are supported and a space of 7680x4320@60Hz - - - so a multi-gpu system is what I would need - - - and it works.
Why would you need 7680x4320@60Hz? That's 8K. 3 4K monitors is less than that. Or is it that you want to run three 3K screens side by side? I found a claim that the 980Ti at least was listed as supporting 11520x2160 to run three 4K screens so it would seem at least nvidia cards that are current can do it. I think you had to go to the 10 series to get HDMI 2.0b though, the 900 series probably required using displayport to do it.
