DisplayPort Multi-Stream splitter for an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF

[IMTheNachoMan]

I have an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF. It has 2 DisplayPorts and 1 VGA. As such I am using it to drive 3 monitors.

I read that the DisplayPorts on this desktop support multi-stream. So I am wondering if I buy a multi-stream splitter, can I use it to drive 4 monitors: 1 VBA, 1 DisplayPort, and 2 using a splitter on the 2nd DisplayPort?

I am talking about using an adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-Multi-Monitor-Splitter/dp/B00XXPYGPO/ref=sr_1_1_sspa....

If the splitter adds a fourth independent display, you would want to check if your CPU/chipset supports four displays.

How/where would I check that? I have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700@ 3.40GHz and an Intel HD Graphics 530.

A quick Google search seems to indicate only 3 displays are supported which I guess surprises me for an i7.  If anyone has more knowledge about this, please reply.

Oh. Dang it. Thanks for the help!
