Trying to set up a 10bit & gaming capable PC...

[Felidire]

Is it possible to run a 100hz 8bit monitor, and a 60hz 10bit monitor (with opengl support), in tandem? I'm trying to avoid having to dual boot, build two separate PCs, etc.

Monitors:
1. 3440x1440 @ 100hz, 8 bit = Gaming
2. 1920x1080 @ 60hz, 8 bit = Utility
3. 3840x2160 @60hz, 10 bit = Work (can be set to 2560x1440 if GPU too weak).

I use OBS (window open on monitor 2) to record gaming from monitor 1, and being able to stream video from monitor 3 is absolutely necessary. Is it possible to have 10 bit opengl support for monitor 3, without excessive messing around? I just wish I could hook up monitors 2 & 1 to a gaming GPU, and have a cheap workstation GPU handle monitor 3, but from what I've read that won't work? Sometimes I game & work simultaneously.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Dual GPU's is certainly possible but likely a hassle. AMD has recently made the performance of the Radeon Pro cards more on par with their desktop cards this should give you another choice for gaming without spending extra for two different cards although Workstation cards are certainly not cheap considering the WX7100 is similar to a RX480 that is ~$250US but the WX7100 is ~$630 although it does come with a hefty 7 year warranty.

For the Dual GPU part I would recommend that the Workstation and Gaming Cards be from the competitors aka Gaming AMD then Workstation Nvidia or Gaming Nvidia then Workstation AMD. This is to reduce possible file driver conflicts.
