I was forced to use NUCs for a project. They were under powered for me. All I needed to do was draw 5 fullscreen quads at 1920x1080 but all they could handle was 4 fullscreen quads at 1280x720. I'm sure they're great for some things so YMMV

Was that an Ivy Bridge or Haswell GPU?

To be fair, that is a big requirement... Loads of mid to high end graphics cards from just a few years backfail at dual QHD screen. I power 2x 1920x1080 screens off of a NUC and am very happy.

  No, it isn't. 1920 * 1080 pixels * 5 * 60 = 622MPixel/s of fillrate required. Radeon 9700 Pro, high end from over 10 years ago, had a fillrate of 2600MPixels/s Let's take a high end graphics card from a few years back, say... GTX 480? A 2010 card? That has a fillrate of 33,600 MPixels/sec. 5x 1920x1080 quads is child's play for any reasonable desktop GPU part. In fact high end cards from 2009 could game at 5760x2160 (that's 6x 1920x1080 displays) off of a single card.
