Clearly the data isn't an issue because two 1080p screens are half the bandwidth of a single 4k monitor (1x4k = 4x1080p), and a single port supports two 4k monitors. What I'm wondering though is if there's a physical limitation to the number of monitors. In other words, I can't drive 8 1080p screens on a single port because of the limitation on the number of streams, right? (I'm trying to use a TB3 dock that has DisplayPort and TB3 out and I'm wondering if I can plug a TB3-to-2xHDMI (1080p) into the TB3 port. | |

You'd probably want to weigh up at what point you're better off investing in a different computer, but an eGPU may make perfect sense for you. | |
