Hey everyone! I'm looking for advice on whether I can integrate my small display into my current PC setup for system monitoring and stats. Here's what I have right now:
- **Case:** Fractal Design R5
- **GPU:** RX6900XT
- **CPU:** RYZEN 7 5800X3D 8 CORE
- **Motherboard:** MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX II ATX AM4
- **RAM:** Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
- **PSU:** Corsair RM850x 850 W 80+ Gold
- **Primary Display:** Alienware AW3423DWF (DP)
- **Secondary Display:** ARZOPA 15.6 portable display (HDMI)
- **Third Display:** HP EliteDisplay 24" (DP)
The new display I'm considering is [this one](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CTML6XP6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1). Can I use it over USB-C, or am I already at the limit with my monitors? Thanks for your help!

Make sure to look into the ports you have available. A USB-C to HDMI adapter should work if you still have a USB-C slot available. Just keep in mind that some motherboards may require you to enable the integrated graphics option in your BIOS settings if you go that route.
Actually, your GPU should handle that fourth display just fine if it’s not overloaded with the current ones. A lot of users with the 6900XT have reported success adding multiple monitors. Check if you have spare slots on your GPU; if not, a USB-C to HDMI converter could be a good way to go! Just remember that if you plug into the motherboard, make sure your CPU supports integrated graphics.
It looks like you're already at max capacity with your current setup! Most GPUs, including the RX6900XT, can support up to 4-6 displays, but you're pretty much maxed out with what you've got. You might need to check if you can swap out one of your existing monitors or consider a display port splitter if that works for your needs.
