I believe you've read into their Max Resolution incorrectly. The
max resolution that Nvidia shows is the maximum the card can drive
any single monitor... so in other words the 1080 is capable of
driving an 8K monitor as well as whatever other monitors you happen
to have hooked up. You can run whatever monitors it supports in
whatever configuration you like and you will get the correct
resolution that you are looking for.<br>
<br>
Looking at the plugs available on the nvidia 1080 it looks like it
would easily drive 3-8K monitors and a 4K monitor all at the same
time giving you 26880x4320<br>

Really?! Even with 3x displayport's and 1x hdmi2.0 port, I
can't effectively use them more than 2x 4k monitors wide?<br>
<br>
How absurd that nvidia *still* limits their framebuffers where
amd has allowed 16384x16384 resolution since the 6xxx series.
My 3x 4k tv system runs just dandy on my ancient 7900 amd card
lately with oss drivers, but requires 11520x2160 that apparently
they cannot/will not do. They stupidly limit to two wide and
two high vs three wide that would keep you from trying to use a
reticle over the display edge? Not much of a gaming system card
for multi-monitor I'd say.<br>
<br>
Argh, this is why I still don't use nvidia, even though their
purported quality and performance is better. Thanks a lot for
useless hardware, at least I know I can always score the amd
video cards on ebay cheap that *do* work.<br>
<br>
The other odd thing I found - there seems to be a scalper market
on availability of these cards. Ebay is full of them selling a
good $200-400 more than retail by parasites soaking them up from
retail chains for profit. Another good reason to avoid nvidia
it seems.<br>
