Hello,
As the title states, I'm looking to add 2 more monitors to my Acer aspire tc-780.
The specs include: 
  • 6th Generation Intel Core i5-6400 processor 2.7GHz (up to 3.3GHz)
  • 8GB DDR4 2133MHz UDIMM Memory
  • 2TB 7200RPM SATA3 Hard Drive
  • Intel HD Graphics 530
  • PSU (factory) - 300W
I had added a graphics card because I am currently operating on 2 monitors already.
To be blunt, I'm asking for assistance in what I would need to get to be able to add 2 more monitors. The graphics card I added was the Nvidia GeForce gt 1030.
If needed, I'm willing to upgrade any component, including the graphics card. It's for increasing productivity. On special occasions (weekends), I will use one screen for gaming.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.

    Are you mirroring only? Have you also posted this on the nVidia forum yet? Jack E/NJ

    With the PCIe slot you seem to have choices for easily doing what you want from nVidea, AMD & a few others. Jack E/NJ

    Since only one PCIe slot is available, you would have to buy a high end graphics card to run 4 monitors at a time. High end cards like GTX980 can give you outputs in 4 monitors simultaneously.

    Well, there you go. Now you can have 6 independent monitors and increase productivity 50% more than 4!!!!  =) Jack E/NJ
