Hi,
I want to use 4 monitors with this card: Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 470

monitor 1: 1680x1050 (DisplayPort)
monitor 2: 1920x1080 (DisplayPort)
monitor 3: 1920x1080 (HDMI)
monitor 4: 800x480 (HDMI)

I am playing video games like League of Legends and sometimes MMOs like Tera.
I am going to buy an Intel Core i5-6500.

I am using 3 different resolutions. Are there any problems coming with that?
I want to extend monitor 1 with 2 and 3 and duplicate monitor 1 to monitor 4.
Should I get 4 or 8 gb VRAM?


Are there any problems or possibilities I should be aware of? Any thoughts?

You can't duplicate to a monitor of a different res. Otherwise extending to different res has no issues and is common. The other monitors will have minimal vram usage depending on what is on them so usually hardly have any effect.

So you want to have the monitors in eyefinity? The resolution of each monitor will be set to the lowest of the 3, resulting in stretching on some monitors if they are not the same aspect ratio. So it looks like you will be running 5040x1050. With this resolution I would say go with 8gb, even if you arent playing that demanding games, With AAA games you will need it for sure.
