Hi there.
(skip to bottom for tl;dr)
So, I would like to add a third monitor to my set up. I have two samsung 27" monitors, one is on display port, the other is running hdmi. I want to get a 4k monitor, hoping to run at minimum at 1440p.
I currently have a gtx-970, but I want to upgrade to a new video card so will take recommendations on what will enable this setup.
What I'll be doing, 3D character modeling on a light side (will probably just buy the assets lol), but a lot of environment design using Unreal Engine---maybe some Blender for objects as well (i know a quattro card would be more suitable but too expensive and i think the scope of its usability is narrowed down to just rendering).
I'll also be playing a bunch of games, mostly in the RPG genre (FF Zodiac Age, FF15 soon i hope lol) but action games like battlefield/starwars/mass effect/Nier as well. For the games I'm just trying to get more view. Right now I tend to play with one monitor having the game and the other monitor having my desktop visible because two monitor gaming setup feels odd to me.
I do not mind AMD gpus, I'm a big fan of Sapphire....just hearing to many issues lately with drivers/games using AMD so I'm wary of it.
Current specs:
i7 4970k
16gb ram
MSI gtx 970 OC Edition

1.Can I run 2 monitors at 1080p with 1 monitor at 1440p/4k ? Or will I have issues with this? They'll all be same size 27".
2.What video card would you recommend to run 3 monitors, 2 at 1080p, 1 at 4k (minimum 1440p)?
3.Will a gtx-970 suffice if I'm doing 1440p on one monitor, with 2 at 1080p?
Thanks!
