1050ti for triple 1440p desktop

Currently running an office PC with a 750ti with 3 x 1080p monitors, however I'm going to upgrade the PC (including a 1050ti) and I'm thinking about going to 3 x 1440p monitors.
Does anyone know if a 1050ti will be able to handle displaying 3 x 1440p? Desktop usage only, not for gaming.

Going by the specs, it looks like it should, DP1.4, HDMI 2.0 and DL-DVI, but in practice does it actually work?

I suppose the ports may be a factor in terms of the connections, if I went for the Dell U2515H then they would not accept DL-DVI anyway, can you convert DVI to HDMI at that resolution? I think any adapters I've seen before are limited to 1920x1200.
 
Looks like it will work: https://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/surround/system-requirements

It will handle the 3 monitors fine without issues. It'll be the display connections that will be the limiting factor on maximum resolution.

DVI and HDMI are electrically the same but I'm not sure if a dual link DVI to HDMI exists. Single link DVI is limited to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz which is why you're finding a lot of adapters limited to that.

Another option, does your CPU have a built in GPU? Could use the display output from that.
 
Based on that link, looks like it would do 3 x 4K (not that DL-DVI could manage that anyway)

Thanks for the info. The new computer will be a Ryzen 7, so no internal GPU there
Does look like the connection is going to be the problem. AS you say, most adapters are just single link, so far the only one I've found that looks like it might actually convert DL-DVI properly is effectively an adapter box, but at £150 I'd be as well just getting a 1060 instead!
 
Did a bit more research and it looks like adapters won't be necessary, the Dell U2515H supports dairy chaining on Display port connections, so seems that I'll be able to output to 3 of the monitors using just the DP and HDMI ports..

Problem solved :)
