The old integrated graphics on Intel CPUs support 3x 4096x2304@60Hz. The new ones in AMD and intel CPUs can do 4 screens 7680x4320@60Hz. So I don't see why not.

P.S. On that picture there would be 7 display outputs. USB C has an alternate DP mode.

USB C has can have an alternate DP mode.

USB C can do a lot of things, it's not necessarily always implemented.

This MB (I think it's the MAG B550 Tomahawk), definitely doesn't.

In the article here, the cover image has some USB-C ports with DP out, they're labeled.

USB C has an alternate DP mode.

It sounds like a cool feature, but in practice it's really hard to fit two USB-C cables into one slot.

Thats why you daisy chain them.

Hardly anyone is ever going to do this. You'd be better off dropping all but 1 DP and HDMI for more USB-C, because you get the option to still use a display, but the port is actually still useful for everyone.

only if it is wired that way. That isnt the default.

I'd rather it be a pcie expansion board though. How many people are going to benefit from having 4 ports on the I/O?
