I would like to run a iMac 18,3 (Radeon Pro 580, i7 4.2 GHz) with two external 5K monitors (LG 27" 27MD5KL).
In Apple's description (https://support.apple.com/kb/SP760?locale=en_US) I found:
> Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports with support for:
>
> DisplayPort
> Thunderbolt (up to 40 Gbps)
> USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps)
> Thunderbolt 2, HDMI, DVI, and VGA supported using adapters (sold separately)
However, this document also states that two 5K external displays are not supported:
> Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display
> at 1 billion colors and:
>
> One 5120‑by‑2880 (5K) external display at 60Hz with support for 1 billion colors, or
> Two 3840-by-2160 (4K UHD) external displays at 60Hz with support for 1 billion colors, or
> Two 4096‑by‑2304 (4K) external displays at 60Hz with support for millions of colors
Is there anything I could do to run two external 5K monitors? E.g. replace the iMac's graphic card or use an eGPU?
