If you have trouble with multiple monitors not displaying via Displayport, or a single high resolution/high refresh rate display not displaying, you may be encountering a data rate bandwidth issue via Displayport. Displayport (hereafter DP) has 25.92 Gbps availble shared across all DP connections. See below for a list of common resolutions and data rates required for them. In general, you can typically run two 2560x1440 displays at 120Hz, three 1920x1080 displays at 144Hz, or a single 3840x2160 display at 120Hz without issue.
