Background -
My PC is currently output through a HDMI 4-way splitter to four different 1080p screens (mirror mode). This supports two workstations I have:
1) Living room station -
1 x television (1080p) (60hz)
1 x monitor (1080p) (60hz)
2) Office work/gaming station -
2 x monitors (1080p) (60hz)
Note - the television is connected to output one on the splitter, which is what the PC recognises as the monitor source. The other three are mirrors and do not show up within the PC's graphic/audio settings.
Upgrade situation -
I want to upgrade all my monitors for a better gaming experience. I'd be looking at -
3 x gaming monitors (1440p) (165hz)
1 x television (4k) (120hz)
Note 1 - For gaming purposes I have a graphic card (RTX 4080) that would support going up to 165hz.
Note 2 - The 4K television would continue to serve as the main source (output one) but I'd ensure my PC display is set to 1440p, in sync with the three mirrored monitors.
Note 3 - For gaming, I would be using my office work/gaming station and would ensure my television (in the living room station) is not in use.
Question -
1) To achieve 165hz gaming on this set up, for my mirror monitors, with a main source output television at 120hz, would I be ok to override the frame rate settings in NVIDA control panel on the PC?
2) If I set the PC display to 1440p (165hz) is this going to cause an issue on the main 4k (120hz) television during non-gaming usage? (baring in mind I would not use this for gaming and ensure it's switched off)
3) Would I be better off just aiming for 120hz gaming, using the full capabilites of the television and splitting this out to the monitors?
I realise this is quite a complicated question here but any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
