I recently upgraded to a 5070 Ti graphics card but I'm concerned about potential bottlenecks with my other components. I now have four monitors set up: two at 1920x1080 with 60Hz refresh rates, one at 2560x1440 with 144Hz, and a new one also at 2560x1440 but with a higher 240Hz refresh rate. My CPU is a 5700X, and I have 32GB of DDR4 RAM running at 3200MHz, with an X570 MPG Gaming Edge WiFi motherboard. I've heard mixed opinions about running four monitors, especially regarding resolution and refresh rates, and I'm wondering if I'll face any issues while gaming.

Nah, you shouldn’t run into problems. Just remember that plugging in more monitors does use up more VRAM. If you're just browsing on a few while gaming on another, you should be fine; static content doesn't draw much power. I game on three 170Hz 1440p HDR monitors without issues!
Honestly, if my older 580 could handle 1 1440p monitor and two 1080p ones, you should definitely be able to run four monitors without any issues!
I had a setup with a single 49" 5120x1440 monitor and two 1440p monitors. With a 4070 Super, I managed over 100 fps in most games. As long as you adjust some settings like enabling DLSS, you should be good!
From what I've gathered, it’s not so much about the number of monitors you have, but what you're actually doing on them. You should be fine; just keep an eye on how intense your tasks are when using multiple screens. Test it out and adjust accordingly!
That’s reassuring! I mostly plan to have a game on one and maybe watch a stream or videos on the other high-refresh monitor, with the other two remaining static. Sounds like it won't be a problem.
