Can an 5k iMac (2019) support 2 external 1080p displays through a docking station & a 34in extra wide monitor (3440x1440) with the graphics card? Or would trying to add the 3rd external require an external GPU?


I have searched about this a bit and cant seem to find any clear answers. It generally indicates just 2 monitors but I haven't found anything that indicates whether a docking station would allow for this
