RX 580 crossfire needed?

I am running 4 - 4k monitors right now with the RX 580. 

i just bought a 5th - 4k monitor and am trying to figure out how to best run this monitor. If i buy a 2nd RX 580 card and crossfire with the current 580 will that be the best option? 

Is the RX 580 not a good option for 4k monitors and should i look into a totally new GPU to run all 5 - 4k monitors? 

I don't do gaming, i use them for stock trading so i do need my charts to refresh in real time but i dont think it's as power intensive as gaming would be? i'm no computer expert though which is why i'm here.

For my monitors i have:

2x - LG 32UN880-B 32'' 4k monitors - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BCR862L?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_BDDRS5G1M724NJX278BH

and 2x - Samsung lu28r550uqnxza 28'' 4k monitors - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-28-viewfinity-uhd-ips-amd-freesync-with-hdr-monitor-black/63863...

The 5th monitor I just bought is another of the LG32UN880-B 32'' 4k monitor.

My desktop specs are:

Windows 10 - 64 bit

Radeon RX 580

Microstar MS-7B48

Intel Core i7-8700 CPU

32GB Ram

 

thanks for any input.

AMD made Crossfire legacy or Non-support around 2017. MGPU or Multi-GPU technology took over for Crossfire in where you can use several GPUs in the same PC.

Here is how to configure MGPU on your PC from AMD Support: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh3-018

EDIT: I notice you have an Intel Processor with Integrated Graphics. See if you can connect the 5th monitor to one of your motherboard's Video Outputs. Here is the IGPU of your Intel Processor: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/126686/intel-core-i78700-processor-12m-cache-up...

The answer you seek may not be another card but something truly capable of multi monitor.

There was a Matrox legacy product that supported up to 6 monitors in 4k but a more "recent" option may be this, it has 4 DP and 2 HDMI, not sure of the capabilities though...
