Hello,

I'm putting together my Triple monitor rig and I am wondering about what cables/leads I will need (and in what configuration) to get things up and running.

I have three... LG, UltraGear, 32GN550-B, 31.5", Full HD Gaming Monitor, 1ms, 165Hz... monitors

and a... Sapphire NITRO+, Radeon RX 6700 XT, 12GB, Graphics card.

If possible I would want cables to be able to run 1440p, 2K, 4K and 8K? (Cost dependent).



Thanks.

check the card for what available connections it has.
should be 3+ DP 1.4a & 1 or 2 HDMI 2.1.

1440p = 2K

the distance the cables need to run will be the biggest factor in regards to cost.

next is what exact resolution you want to run.
5760x1080p @ 165Hz with options up to 8K you will need DP 1.4a and\or HDMI 2.1.
these will be much more expensive than lower iterations.

for strictly using these monitors with a PC you want to go with DisplayPort.
if you have a high resolution \ high refresh rate TV you may want to connect
then you will also want HDMI...

if primary use is gaming or other demanding full-screen GPU use;
@ 5760x1080p i doubt that card will be able to make use of the 165Hz refresh rate available.

most modern AAA games will struggle to even reach 60fps with any decent settings in place.
you may want to look into an upgrade and exchange the 6700 XT for something that can make use of the higher refresh rates.
