    Office Build - Heavy Browsing / Tabs work

    Hiya, I am putting together a machine for 3-4 monitor setup with heavy iMacros/Script/Browsing work loads. Any recommendations? I am not sure if gaming will be done on it but if so, nothing major tbh.

    Edit: Updated Build in the link below

    I don't think this GTX950 can be used with 4 monitors. I think the best solution is to use a iGPU at the same time with a cheap card that can drive 2~3.

    According to the specs it can support up to 4 monitors:

    Though from Max Resolution it appears that may have to be at 720p, not sure.

    So looking at this again, any ideas? Should I go with AMD instead? 1080p across all 3-4 monitors would be ideal.

    Might be wrong but Nvidia used to say this in the past when you could connect all 4 monitors but only use 3 of them at the same time.

    It seems weird, but from the max resolution, it appears if you tried to run all 4 at 1080p it would only run 3 of them, as 4 at 1080p exceeds the max resolution, maybe that is what you are referring to? I am not sure as I have never tried running more than 2 monitors.

    You know what though, I have an easy way to find out. The 960 has the same specs listed so tonight when I go home I will attempt to hook 4 monitors up to my PC. I have 2 identical 1080p monitors and my wife has 2 more so will be easy to do. I'll let you know.

    I'm not sure and I also don't even remember when I read that, but it makes a lot of sense if that's the case.
