Two monitors, can you use ones with two different native reso?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Greatings Stardockians and gamers. I currently have 27" 1080p Monitor. Its refresh is 60 hz. I love it and it seems to work great. 

My video card is a 1070 GTX, my processor is 8700K and my ram is 32 gigs. 

I am really considering this as a second monitor on my desk > https://www.techspot.com/review/1845-lg-32gk650f/

 

Now can my video card run two monitors? I have a back up GTX 970 which i can put in if needed. Can different refresh and different monitors be done this way and can you use two different video cards this way as well? 

 

I was going to keep the 1080p for the 'side' monitor we use for internet and searches while the larger 32" 1440p for gaming. 

 

Is this feasible or should I just stick to one monitor?

On one of my computers I use a 24" 1920x1200 and a 32" 2560x1440. So that is not only different resolutions, it is different aspect ratios as well (16:10 and 16:9). Can't help with the different refresh ratio side of your question.

No problems!

I have 2 monitors. One at 27" 4K at 3840x2160 with 125% scaling and another one is a 24" at 1920x1200 at 100% scaling. Both connected to one graphics card 1050Ti. It work fine for me. But I don't game much.

Thank you,
