I just got my RX 9060 GPU, but I noticed it only comes with three monitor outputs. I want to set up a triple screen for sim racing and also need a fourth screen for telemetry. I'm wondering what my options are. Can I use the display output from my motherboard as a fourth screen without interference from the GPU? Or is there a way to connect a fourth monitor to the GPU itself? I'm running a Ryzen 5 9600x and an Asrock B850M Pro motherboard. Any suggestions?

The RX 9060 should handle three monitors for sim racing, but if you're looking for a fourth, it might be a bit tricky. Depending on your RAM and setup, upgrading to a different GPU could also be a solid option if you're facing limits.
Honestly, if you're serious about sim racing, you might want to consider VR. Sometimes it’s cheaper to get something like a Quest 3 than to buy multiple monitors if you don't already own them.
Good point! I'm dealing with eye strain right now, so I might have to weigh the pros and cons. By the way, for those on a budget, you can find decent monitors for around $100-120.
One viable option is DisplayPort daisy chaining, as long as your monitor supports it. Just keep the resolution and refresh rate limitations in mind.
Is daisy chaining better than plugging the fourth monitor directly into the GPU?
If your CPU has integrated graphics, you can use that to power your telemetry monitor. Just make sure Windows 11 recognizes it alongside your GPU's monitors.
That sounds like an awesome workaround! I'm sure Windows will handle it well.
Quick question, what motherboard and CPU are you using? That’ll help in figuring out solutions.
I'm using Ryzen 5 9600x with an Asrock B850M Pro.
Haha, we’ll see how it goes! Since this is my first gaming PC, I'm okay with experimenting a bit.
