Or would it need to have 1gpu for every 2 screens, meaning a 2gpu setup? Subsequently, would I also need to be running them on like a threadripper motherboard to avoid pcie down scaling each gpu to x8 each instead of x16?

All hypothetical so i apologive for not being able to provide actual specs. Im helping someone setup a mid-tier racing sim with 1 monitor so providing the actual specs Im using would be obsolete. We were just speculating what it would take to build a god-tier racing sim.

Also, I apologize if this isnt the correct community for this post. I didnt find anything when I tried searching different iterations of ‘AskTechSupport.’

    One card can absolutely run 4 monitors.
    Will it get you the framerates you want? Hard to say. Depends on which game and what settings you’ll use.

    However using 2 cards to run a single game doesn’t realy work anymore, since SLI has been dropped.

    Also GPUs don’t saturate PCIE 16x bandwidth anymore. Even a 5090 might only lose low single digit performance at 8x. If you could run 2 cards, that would easily be better with each at 8x, than one at 16x.
