Daisy chaining DisplayPort

[dgingeri]

I just got a Dell U3415W, which has a port to daisy chain another DP monitor. I am wondering if it is possible with DP 1.2 to daisy chain my old monitor from it. That would be putting a 3440X1440 display and a 2560X1440 display on one DP output from my GTX680.

Probably not, at those resolutions.

At what refresh rates?

 

[dgingeri]

Just 60Hz. They're IPS panels.

Not a chance. DP 1.2's bandwidth is 17.28 Gbit/s, and those combined will be too much. Check this calculator out and do the math yourself if you want to double check:

Thanks.

No problem.
