I'm running a 4K a 1440p and a 1080p monitor in a triple monitor setup I have all the screen resolution in Windows set to 3840x2160 so my monitor's are all recognized the same size will this hurt the performance of the monitor's themselves while gaming.
CPU:I7 6700 K STOCK SPEED
Motherboard:MSIX270
Ram:16G GB CRUCIAL
SSD/HDD:SAMSUNG 250GB SSD
GPU:GTX 1080
PSU:750 WATT THERMAL TAKE
Chassis: S340 ELITE
OS: WINDOWS 10
MONITORS ARE VIEWSONIC 4K 24" AND VIEWSONIC 1080P 144HZ 24" AND AOC 1440P 144HZ 24"

I would imagine that in-game when you select the resolution you are choosing 11520X6480? If so then yes, your performance will be affected. Even though two of your monitors are not 4k the system is rendering the above resolution.

That would depend on the game you're playing and the GPU that's powering all three monitors. having a mutli monitor setup will cause the temps on your GPU to rise indicating that it's having to do more as opposed to a single monitor. Higher res's will also ask more from the GPU.

You didn't mention your full system's specs. List them like so:

VIEWSONIC 4K 24" /VIEWSONIC 24"" 1080P 144 HZ'/ ASUS 24" 1440 144HZ

 


Do you mean spanning games across all three monitors, or just using two for desktop and gaming on one?
