Is there a way to know how much output resolution can your system handle? NOT comp size in resolume!!! I mean specifically the total output resolution from your computer distributed among all outputs.
For instance, I have the GTX 680 gpu, and have been able to get 11 separated outputs working together (10 for projection + 1 for control screen).... Total comp size was 10240 px width and 768 px height... that means each screen output was 1024*768 px. .. That means a total output of 11008 px wide * 768 px height!!!! I haven´t been able to test any further so far....
I know there are issues regarding benchmark (fps and stuff) for this comp this size, but that´s not the point here.

My question is regarding all this dongles (USB to hdmi, VGA or DVI) and all this matrox and datapath expansion devices that can be plugged to the computer; how much further can you push your total resolution coming out from your system among all physical outputs??

Just trial en error?? On some gpu specs it specifies the max resolution.. for example for my gpu it is 4096*2160... does this mean that that´s the max amount of pixels i can get? no matter on what kind of array (display layout)??

Sorry if it is a dumb question.... but ím having a huuuge gig coming up and i´m starting to do some px math here..

thanks!!!
