My 4 monitors:

- 1440p @60hz
- 1080P @144hz & G-sync
- 1080P @144hz
- 1080P @60hz

Will a SINGLE GTX 1080 power them all on as i want them? Note that im ONLY going to play on the monitor with the G-sync. but if im multiy tasking them all 4 while 2 of them on 144HZ and also 1440P all together, will work? or i do i need a second GPU?

*Note - if a lower card as 1070\1060 can run all 4 when im browsing the web for example in all the wanted refresh rates and res then i might go lower than 1080 since i might wont need this Overkill.

Thanks !

Well, from a technical standpoint the GTX 1080 can only support up to 4x1080p@60Hz. So while multitasking and such you may have to downscale the 1440p monitor to 1080p and set the two 1080p 144Hz ones to 60Hz. I say "may" because I've seen setups that exceed the resolution "limit" Nvidia states despite having only one card, so I'm not sure if the resolution limit is really some sort of hardcap or if you can exceed it.

The 1070 has an identical max resolution spec but I'd recommend the GTX 1080 regardless as you'll be able to properly take advantage of that high refresh rate on the Gsync monitor when gaming.
