I'm tempted in pairing up some older computers with newer monitors. I'm interested in hearing about real world computer set ups you might have used with 4K monitors, especially multiple monitors.
For example, the i7-6500 is capable of running three 4k monitors at 60Hz via DisplayPort. Have any of you done this, or have you fixed QHD works better?
Not necessarily for gaming, even just Web browsing etc.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51606322","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"EndlessWaves"},"datePublished":"2023-11-28T12:14:22.000Z","text":"It can be complicated because there are various back end components that can limit things, some of which are provided by the system manufacturer and some of which are provided by the GPU manufacturer.
The only way to know for certain is to find the documentation laying out the multi-monitor limitations for your particular motherboard/system, and that was often never openly published to begin with.
Generally the DisplayPort bandwidth limits are per port/pipe so that's not a concern unless you're using MST (hubs/daisy chaining) to run multiple displays off a single port.
As far as I can see on the Intel side it's essentially got three independent outputs which can natively be DP 1.2, HDMI 1.4 or a couple of more specialised options so the GPU should be capable of doing what you want (provided it's not attached to an H110 chipset or other Intel product segmentation barrier).
But hardware at that age with three full bandwidth DisplayPort outputs, or one of them routed through an internal HDMI 2.0 converter, is going to be fairly scarce."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51603297","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"C0mm0d0re_K1d"},"datePublished":"2023-11-28T01:26:56.000Z","text":"The video output and supported resolution, is determined by the graphics card or integrated gfx in the system, and the connection available.
