I am building a system with four displays and thinking about this graphics card:

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti DirectX 12 GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD 4GB

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125914

The max resolution is 7680 x 4320, but I don't know if this is the total of all displays or per display ?

My monitors are:

2 @ 3840 x 1600
2 @ 1920 x 1080

This is a total of 11,520 x 5360, but it is no more than 3840 x 1600 per screen.

So, can I run all four displays from this card or do I need two video cards?

Thank you.
 
If the "max resolution" a graphics card can handle is looked at in pixels, than this card can handle 7680 x 4320, or 33,177,600 pixels.

However, the two large displays are 3840 x 1600 x 2, so 12,288,000 pixels.

The two small displays are 1920 x 1080 x 2, so 4,147,200 pixels.

So, all four displays are 12,288,000 + 4,147,200, or 16,435,200 pixels total.

These are huge screens (but not 4K) and the total pixels by your method is less than half of the "max resolution" of the card.

Or, does the "max-resolution" of the card limit the displays in a different way?
