Can the i7 8700k support 4 displays ?

cheatsparkvideos · Mar 27, 2018

So i am planing on getting 3 Philips 273V7QJAB monitors and 1 LG 29UM58-P and total is 4 monitors, but in intel page for i7 8700k it says it can only support 3 displays, but i have seen people use 4 on i7 980. also i am going to use a splitter on one of the ports that goes to the TV. Will this nonsense work ?

1| What board are you going to pair the processor with?
2| The i7-980 doesn't have an iGPU in it's die.
3| Why not just pick up a cheap GPU that supports quad display like a GTX750Ti?

the CPU wouldn't matter in your case since you are using a 1070 for video and not tthe iGPU in the 8700K. it would depnd on if the 1070 GPU is capable of supporting 4 displays and odds are it would

Your'll be fine with a 1070 GPU. They support 4 displays. The cpu will cope fine also.

correct, you can use a combination of ports like one using HDMI and others using DP and DVI. depending on the connections on your monitors you may need some adapters if they only have HDMI

since it's a very old cpu on i7 980 i don't have much info, but i7 980 don't have a built-in gpu, and likely a on board gpu (could be from ati,intel,nvidia) which might support 4 display.

8700k supports 3 max, you can probably get a cheap amd graphics card with eyefinity to get the support for 4 monitor.
