Blade 15 Advanced (2018) 1070 connecting triple monitors @ 1440


Hi,

I've got a Blade 15 Advanced (2018) 1070 and want to hook it up to three 2560 x 1440 monitors to play games. What's the easiest way to do this?

Ideally I would like to use a thunderbolt dock that has 3 display outputs, but I have read that the thunderbolt/USB C port may only be connected to the integrated GPU and not the 1070?

I was also thinking of using the mini display port and a display port hub and MST to connect all the monitors that way.

Has any one done anything similar before or got any suggestions?

Thanks!

What game do you plan to play on the setting? If you meant to run nvidia surround, 1070maxq is just not enough for most current titles, with same blade, triple monitor on 2k monitors you need at least rtx 2080 Razer core setting to runs like BfV 50fps, with 1070maxq maybe you need to lower the resolution max 2 monitors to get playable FPS which’s little weird for nvidia surround.

Yes, I am talking about Nvidia Surround and you're right, I don't plan to play games at 7680x1440. I'd be lucky to do half that for most modern titles. But for work and other "office" tasks I would like to have the extra resolution.

I see, then I’m not really sure about source that mentioned usb c only connected to iGPU, but I can gaming on all ports to external monitor connection with no FPS difference. I don’t use also dock anymore since I’ve Razer Core but I heard lenovo TB3 Dock would do that job.

So you're going to upscale 1080p on your 1440 monitor? Won't that make the games look choppy?
