2 different monitors.. One gpu

[kanidshmk]

So I have a 1080p 60hz monitor atm,
Rig is I5 4670k, gtx 780.
Thinking of buying a gtx 1080 and a 4k monitor. Now the question is,can i use both monitor next to eachother? Games on 1080p and use the 4k for movies, YouTube and running some easier to run games?

Yes you can. As long as you have the proper connections, you can use two different monitors. Just make sure one has the right resolution.

Yes, you can run two monitors at once like Herc08 said.

I'll add more point to Herc's answer to help you set up your dual monitor.

1. Plug it properly. First monitor that will be your primary display on HDMI/DP number 1 and secondary monitor on HDMI/DP number 2. It will make it easier for you to set the monitor properties in NVIDIA driver later and preventing POST on wrong display.

2.Set correct location/arrangement of your dual monitor setup in NVIDIA driver. It will make the cursor/mouse pointer hovers to correct monitor besides it when you extend the display.

3. Set "extend display" on windows display control panel, or any modes that you need to use.

Also whatever you do, do not use Surround as it will merged the two monitors into one display. Being that it is different sizes, and resolutions, it will make things very difficult.
