I have UP3214Q and want use that on 4k and 60Hz and U3011 and want it on 2560x1600 on 60Hz

I actually have GTX 960, but I have some problem with that.

What card would you recommend for these 2 monitors? Im not playing games too much, so no need to use that on high options in games.

Second question is, how you will connect monitors with grahpics? 4k on 60Hz has to be Display 1.2 at least, and U3011 for 2560x1600 60Hz will be fine with DisplayPort too, but not many cards has 2 displayports. What about DVI?

i7Baby what about that Gigabyte GTX970? Because card you picked is way to overprice in my country (1800$+)


My currect setup is:

Motherboard ASUSTeK Z87-K
8GB RAM
Inter Core i7 4770 @ 3.40GHz


One more question I have. What about DVI for Dell U3010 for 2560x1600 at 60Hz, will it work?

Well it really depends on what monitor(s) you want to game on. If you are going to use all 3 monitors at the same time, you will need to spend a lot of money to get any decent performance. 970 can somewhat handle 1600p but it requires turning down details, and at 4k, by a lot. 2 4k's 970 isn't enough.

I recommended 970 since I only thought you were going to game on the 1600p and using the two 4k monitor as desktop extenders, which gigabyte's 970 has 3 displayports.
 
Boomberman, I have a few questions. You mentioned that you don't game too much, BUT is your intent to successfully play games at 4K resolution at 60 FPS? If so, what games are you playing? Another question: What was your problem with the GTX 960? Were the FPS to low or was your problem getting both your 4K and 1440P monitors to work off that one card? What is the precise model of your GTX 960? Btw, there are many cards out there that have 3 display port connections.

I just need 60Hz when working on windows with my tables.

If so, what games are you playing?
-I'm not playing any graphics game.
-I'm pokerplayer and I need a lot of tables (8-12) hold on screen in one time.

What was your problem with the GTX 960?
-Sometimes my windows screens was frozen for like 4-6second, than unfrozen for 1-2 seconds, and back to frozen. During that frozen time I was able to move mouse, but buttons/windows was not react during frozen. I can't work with that, thats why I wan't to buy new card. Maybe there is other reason of that frozen, but it started after I bought new monitor and 960 gtx 10 days ago.
