I have 4 - 4k monitors hooked up to my desktop right now and I just bought a 5th monitor.
I'm hoping there's a way to hook all 5 up to my desktop as is, without adding a graphics card, or having to buy a seperate laptop to run this 5th monitor.

MONITORS -

right now i'm running 4x monitors with no problem:

2x - LG 32UN880-B 32'' 4k monitors - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BCR862L?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_BDDRS5G1M724NJX278BH

and 2x - Samsung lu28r550uqnxza 28'' 4k monitors -

The 5th monitor I just bought is another of the LG32UN880-B 32'' 4k monitor.

My desktop specs are:

Windows 10 - 64 bit
Radeon RX 580
Microstar MS-7B48
Intel Core i7-8700 CPU
32GB Ram

I think with the Radeon RX580 i can only run 4x - 4k monitors with it. Right now i have both of the 2x displayport and HDMI ports hooked up to my 4x monitors.
From what i've read the DVI display port won't run a 4k monitor.

Is there a way to run this 5th monitor off the Radeon RX580 somehow?

If not, what is the next best solution for this 5th monitor? Add a 2nd graphics card? Add a totally new high performance graphics card that can run all 5 monitors?
get a laptop to run 1 or 2 of the monitors seperately?

Ideally i'd like to have all 5 monitors running from the same computer for ease, but worst case i could make it work to run 1x monitor off a seperate computer.

thank you ahead of time!!
