Basically I only want to work on windows for now and know I need a way better gpu to push all those pixels in game lmao. Perhaps a Gtx 1080 ti sc2 hybrid 11 gb, Asus Rog-strix 1080 11gb OC edition 5k HD gpu or which one would you recommend? Say $1000 budget for smooth frame rates in max settings in all games to game on threeway 43” 4K displays...Or do I need a Titan?

So let’s get the point....Been using two of these and a s2817q 4K display with no issues.

Today I got my third p4317q 4K monitor and have not been able to get them all to light up together. I can only assume the two Gtx 960 4gb gpu s can’t handle 3 of these displays to run windows on? I find that a bit difficult to believe or am i running out of VRAM?

Basically the new monitor stays sleep.

Also.....Would anyone be able to explain why the new monitor is named Tech Concepts TCL and not Dell P4317Q like the other two when I go into the nvidia control panel to set up multiple displays?

I’ve heard using the display cords instead of the hdmi cords is best for 4K? Is this true?




Mobo: Asus Rog Crosshair VI Hero
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700
Ram: G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB (2x8gb) pc425600
SSD: PNY 480GB
Seagate Backup Plus 4TB (STEAM)
Cooling: Thermaltake Water 3.0 Triple Riing
GTX 960 FTW (SLI)

I'm guessing you'll have to wait a generation or two to be able to run all current games at max settings on 3 4K monitors. As far as its name in Nvidia Control Panel, is there a chance you got a counterfeit? Here are the full specifications for that Dell:


At this point I just want to be running windows on all three so i can use photoshop. As for gaming goes i should have no problem running the titles that do run on 4k surround at max settings on a higher end gpu from what i hear from my research.

And as for the name I really cant even begin to guess I didnt even know that could be possible. Suppose Ill have to talk to dell. I bought all three from amazon though.

So i had the genius idea of unplugging all displays and only plugging in the new one and the name changed in the nvidia control panel...Soo yea i think ill spare myself the call to dell for now.

Does anyone have any advice on getting all three displays to run together with my current sli set up?
