Question MSI GP66 Leopard 3080 Gaming Laptop - 3 monitors?

[mackxx1]

I would like to have a 3 monitor set uop on my MSI laptop. Is this possible? This would be extended not mirrored. Ports I have is a mini-display port, currently connecting my Alien 34" wide screen. The only other port I have is a 60hz HDMI.

If it is possible, whats the best way and what resolution of monitors to compliemnt my Alien wide screen?

It does have a 1.2 display port, however it doesnt have an output port. I dont really know much about MST

Just looking in to this, I wonder if I got two screens with an output DP, then feed this in to the alien monitor, would that work?

Also, the RTX3080 laptop states its a 1.4a display port, would this be capable of sharing over 3 monitors?

You could try something like this:

Use you HDMI port to drive the Alienware and the adapter to drive your side displays (assumes Alienware in middle).
