Running Two 4K monitors, recommended nVidia graphics card?


I'd like to run two 4K monitors so thats each displays at 3840 × 2160.

What nVidia graphics card do you recommend at a minimum to output both screens at 3840 × 2160 (4K) each?

Monitor is here - http://4k.com/monitor/a-review-of-th...d-lit-monitor/
P.S. not a fan of ATI so nVidia recommendations only please

Running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

Thank you.

You need a graphics card with sufficient RAM: 4GB

And depending on the rest of computer, choose the right GPU.

And: the graphics card must have two display ports.

But: I would choose a monitor with IPS panel. It is much better.
