I've got 3 1920x1080 monitors and 1 3860x2160 monitor plugged in right now and have been worried about the max resolution stated in the specs of my gtx1060.
What happens when you go above it?
So far I've only noticed the 4k monitor occasionally going black for a second but I'm not sure if it's just the monitor since I just bought it.
 
Solution
Try it, no permanent harm will come.
To get the maximum refresh rate possible, the displayport connection is likely to be best.
