I just bought a Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (5120x1440, 240Hz) because I haven’t owned a monitor under $250 before. Thought it was time to treat myself. I also have three AOC CQ27G2 monitors (2560x1440, 144Hz) but can’t get them all to work together. I own an ASUS ROG STRIX 3090 and feel confident my graphics card should handle the task. I saw somewhere that the graphics driver has a hard limit around 2x 4K resolution. It’s unclear if that’s accurate, but it sounds reasonable. With four displays, I’m expecting around 5x 2K or roughly 2.25K total. I’ve lowered the resolution on the AOC monitors to 1080p without success, so maybe it’s not just a pixel issue. Anyone else faced this problem and have you found a solution?

Your current setup remains unchanged. The resolution stays at (7680x2880), though the corner has been removed, leaving you with 7680x1440 and 5120x1440 options.

So I might have gotten it running? I just had to use Intel’s virtualization feature... That means I connected my fourth monitor into the motherboard. It unexpectedly shut down on me, so we’ll check how it holds up. Still unsure why this worked because it seems to be sending the GPU display directly to the M/B’s screen.

It seems your problem is clearly something real. After reviewing more details, it looks like this setup works as intended: the highest digital resolution matches what the card can output, which is 7680 x 4320 for DP 1.4. Each display is independent. TL;DR, your approach should succeed. However, it doesn’t. Make sure the resizable bar feature is active—check the Nvidia Control Panel settings and ensure it’s enabled in your motherboard BIOS. This could be the root cause if the issue lies on the PCI-E connection. The information I provided here is entirely accurate.

Hold on a second... do you have the riser cable? Yes or no, let me know. If you have it, make sure to take it out and test without it. Apologies—I didn’t realize they’re common and often cause issues.

I don’t have a riser cable. The GPU wouldn’t fit vertically in my setup anyway.

When I power on the PC with all four screens linked, everything displays at 2560x1440. Switching the G9 to 5120x1440 triggers a crash. This appears to be the maximum resolution the driver can handle. At this stage, the best solution seems to be using a display link to manage the three monitors.

Avoid encountering a BSOD. What’s the issue? Did you perform a memtest on your GPU?

Something to do with a driver. I got it a couple times but it didn't stay up long enough for me to read the whole thing.
