I believe it depends on the monitor(s)... if you're running multiple 4k monitors you may have issues with the single 1080.

However, if you're running anything less be prepared to be amazed.

I'm running a single 1440P Dell monitor, one that I currently use as a second monitor for streaming. I think I'll be fine.

What's funny is that this should also be a major improvement over my old gaming laptop. It's an ASUS G-series laptop with an i7 and GTX 970M. It's great up until playing most games with demanding specs. My frame rate is usually incredible on Medium/High settings on current demanding titles, but has overheating issues stemming from the GPU.

However, it's still getting kept, seeing as how I can be deployed at any time and won't have the option to take a 45 lb desktop with me. Haha

That Vanquish build , especially the gtx 1080, will play games on your 1440p with no effort.   Jaw dropping.
