Hi, I'm Grant and I'm 14. Im building a pretty decent computer for a project, a Prototype Satellite (and a little gaming (-: ). My satellite will be next to my desk on the floor. I plan to have three Samsung C32HG70, two on my desk and one in the Satellite. I'm having a little problem with budgeting so I settled with one EVGA GTX 1080 and Two GTX 1050 Ti's with 32 GB's of ram. My question is can I hook up the 1050's to two of the monitors and the 1080 to the other one? Will I still get a decent frame rate using two different types of GPU's? Also the rest of my computer specs are in the link below!


Thank You!

Why do you need those 1050's? You can just use the 1080 for the screens.

Ok so I don't need the two 1050's, a single 1080 can run three 4k monitors?
 
That's right, you can run multiple monitors from the one graphics card (even Intel CPUs can run 3 4K monitors), then you can set which monitor is where (left, right, top bottom, middle etc.) so that you can move the cursor from one monitor to the next in a logical way.

Ok thanks, would it not be cheaper to get a 1080, and two 1050ti's, rather than getting one 1080ti. Its a little cheaper. I think this would be a little better cause I will never be using three monitors for one application. So one will be a game, one will be twitch, and one would be discord/ other stuff. Would a single 1080ti be better still, or could i just run two 1080's?
 


Other than the game your gpu will barely be used by the other open things (twitch does use some hardware acceleration but it's minimal). Running multiple random gpu's is possible but is just asking for trouble.
A single 1080ti will deliver a far better experience since even a gt210 could do what you want to do on the other displays.

The computer you are looking into getting uses a lot of higher priced parts which barely do anything extra compared to the cheaper versions (the motherboard, bunch of fans,...)

Can I use two 1080's SC2 instead of one 1080 ti, I found good deals on the SC2's

 


Sli support in games is barely there anymore so 99% of the time the second 1080 will just sit there doing nothing.
Always get a single more powerfull gpu over multiple.
