I have a single 27" 1080p monitor and an Asus STRIX GTX980. The only "game" I play is Microsoft FS9 and, mostly, FSX. I know very little about monitors and resolution, etc. All I know is I own an Acer H276HLbmid 27" IPS display.
Query 1: Will my GTX 980 even handle two monitors? If so, is 1440p (I assume that would be 4K) out of the question?
Query 2: I remember running across a resolution of 12xx, but I'm not sure if there is such a critter or if it would be worth considering.
Query 3: Were I to decide to try two (or even one) monitors higher than 1080p, would I need to consider SLI? Would a 22"-24" size be better?
These are just general questions along the lines of improving my "flight sim experience". I bought the GTX 980 before I started letting my imagination get the best of me. My other GPU is and Aus GTX 780Ti Direct II CU and, as I understand it, will not pair with the GTX 980.
At this time, at least, this line of thought is nothing more than a learning/familiarization exercise. Thus, any thoughts/advice/"must do's" are greatly appreciated. One note, however: I have used nVidia for years because I've understood that nVidia worked best for Flight Sim instead of Radeon/AMD. Thus, I much prefer to stay with nVidia so as to the learning curve more shallow.
Thanks
