This has zero to do with which GPU you have and everything to do with max output of the connector. Thats why 4k requires display port 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 and 5K requires DUAL DISPLAY PORT cables."5K" is ambiguous, since sometimes it's used to refer to 5120x1440 and other times it's used to refer to 5120x2880.
To display 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz and 30 Hz, both DP1 and DP2 must be connected.
Thanks for taking the trouble to help me out. Assuming my Laptop or PC had DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 If a GPU has, for example, a max resolution of 4096×2304 does this mean the total of all monitors cant exceed this figure or can you run multiple monitors at this resolution therefore having a much larger total ? I'm trying to understand what this max resolution figure in specs actually means in real terms.
"max resolution of 4096×2304 does this mean the total of all monitors cant exceed this figure or can you run multiple monitors at this resolution"
I doubt you are willing to pay for the hardware that supports what you want. The monitors by themselves are $500 or more. However maybe money isn't a problem for you.
this too has little to do with GPU and more to do with the amount of dedicated ram for the GPU the amount of display port outputs and what you are displaying aka static pictures or moving images. LAPTOPS do not typically have Multiple Display port outputs. Laptop with Thunderbolt3 can support EXTERNAL GPU that supports multiple 4k or 5K displays.
Max. Resolution: 5120 x 2880, support 4x Display monitors
Connectors: 4x Display Ports. Support up to four 5120 x 1440 monitors at 60Hz, or dual 8K displays per card.
qHD, and QHD, while spelled pretty much the same couldn’t be any more different. qHD stands for a quarter of full HD, i.e., four times less than 1080p. The typical qHD resolution is 960 x 540 pixels or 540p. QHD, on the other hand, is four times the standard HD resolution. Keep in mind, four times the HD resolution, not Full HD. The typical QHD resolution is 2,560 x 1,440 pixels or 1440p. That’s four times as many pixels as 1280 x 720 or 720p.WQHD is referred to as 2K. 5K describes a display resolution of 5120 x 2880 2DP cables OR 5120 x 1440 1 DP cable.
5120 x 1440 resolution is not possible with Intel® Graphics driver versions
Environment:
Windows® 10
Samsung* CRG9 Monitor or similar that supports resolution 5120 x 1440 via display port
How to fix it:
The issue has been fixed with driver version 26.20.100.7985 or higher.
Thank you again for your detailed reply. Unfortunately it doesn't really answer my question. What i'm trying to understand is, assuming all other criteria met, can a GPU with a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2034 for example drive only 1 4k monitor or multiple 4k monitors? I think the answer lies in the reference you provided to the Quadro card and that multiple monitors at stated resolution is possible. Thanks again
The link says for Intel 6th and 7th gen integrated gpu, you can display 4096x2304 @ 60 Hz on each of the three monitors connected via DP. max 4k resolution is supported on all three monitors.
“Graphics controllers support up to three streaming independent and simultaneous display”
I think by independent it means the three monitor displays are not cloned.

A 4K display is one with at least 8 million active pixels. For televisions, that resolution has standardized to 3,840 by 2,160. Digital cinema 4K (the resolution in 4K movie theaters) is slightly higher at 4,096 by 2,160.
drive only 1 4k monitor or multiple 4k monitors?
Each 4K monitor needs 1 display port.
Doesn't matter DESKTOP or Laptop
If you only have 1 display port out or 1 hdmi out then you are ONE and Done.
I think the answer lies in the reference you provided to the Quadro card and that multiple monitors at stated resolution is possible. Thanks again
The quadro has 4 display ports and 5 gigs of DEDICATED VIDEO RAM.
Again its not one and done you can have as many monitors as you wish.
Each monitor needs slightly more than 1 gig of video ram AND 1 display port version 1.3 or higher.
Laptops in general DO NOT HAVE THIS but can use EXTERNAL GPU via thunderbolt3.
Desktops need enough power and physical space to use one of the quadro cards or any other card with 2 3 4 or more DISPLAY PORT OUT.
INTEL GRAPHICS DOES NOT and CANNOT support 4 X 4K displays 60hz
eDP Cables Embedded Display Port (THIS IS INSIDE A LAPTOP)
DP Cables Display Port THESE ARE EXTERNAL CABLES requires 2 5k

Max resolution is based on the Interface.
VGA DVI HDMI old school has limits.
Single or Dual Link also matters
DVI TO HDMI is limited to 1920 X 1080
DUAL LINK DVI is limited to 2048 X 1536
DVI-I and DVI-A is analog vga.
This has zero to do with which GPU you have and everything to do with max output of the connector. Thats why 4k requires display port 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 and 5K requires DUAL DISPLAY PORT cables."5K" is ambiguous, since sometimes it's used to refer to 5120x1440 and other times it's used to refer to 5120x2880.

Both the adapters below are passive and Bi directional.
Thats also why DVI to HDMI says 1080P max
https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-Adapter-2-Pack-Gold-Plated-Converter/dp/B00ZMVGTA2/
SAME with DVI-I to VGA
https://www.amazon.com/DVI-I-Adapter-Benfei-Female-Plated/dp/B07G77CBBB/
Newer cards remove DVI-I and DVI-A so they are DIGITAL only.
AKA GT1030 1050 1060 1080 does not have ANY vga connectors.
https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-HDMI-Adapter-3-5mm-Audio/dp/B00ZMV7RL2
Display PORT TO VGA or HDMI TO VGA is one way only.
Not until HDMI 2.0 will you be able to do 4K over HDMI at 60fps.
Display port 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 are REQUIRED for 4k
If your card does not have that you NEVER GET 4k EVER.
