Can I use 2 GPU's for 2 monitors?

[13thmonkey]

why not the igpu?

^^^This would be the ideal setup, sell the 1050 ti, use the 1070 ti for your main gaming GPU and then use the iGPU from the 8600K to power the second monitor. And no this won't ruin your FPS.

I would rather not use the iGPU because I would like to game on one monitor and CAD on the other. Will the iGPU be able to CAD smoothly on the second monitor?

OK, this is a completely different story, the 1070 would be better for gaming if you have the resolution that can use it, you won't cad and game at the same time I assume? so why not 1070 with both screens off it.

Is the 1070 powerful enough to run 2 CADs at once smoothly? Also how many monitors can the 1070 hold alone. I will likely eventually upgrade to 3 monitors

It can do 3,but as with all cad it depends on the complexity of the model, for a flat non rendered image a 1070 could manage anything you can throw at it.

Thanks for your help. I will probably get a 1070 Ti and a 144Hz monitor and run a dual display off the 1070. When I purchase a 3rd monitor I will consider reinstalling the 1050.
