I'll try to make this simple since I have a tendency to babble w/ my questions... :D:p

1. Want to buy new 15" rMBP
2. Will definitely Bootcamp it w/ Win 8.1 Pro
3. I own TWO Dell U2715H monitors (they are 1440p, and have DisplayPort OUT - therefore allowing me to daisy-chain monitors from a single DP port on the computer)

Question 1: While in Bootcamp (Win 8.1 Pro), will I be able to daisy-chain the monitors from ONE of the Thunderbolt ports? OR: Will I be forced to connect each monitor to each port, utilizing them both. (I prefer to daisy-chain b/c I need to plug something else into the other TB port.)

Question 2: Will the Windows environment drive them both at 1440p 60hz or will it somehow throttle down to 30hz?

I know that in the OS X environment this is all easy and flawless but I also understand that sometimes the Bootcamp environments aren't 100% as streamlined as a dedicated Windows laptop.

Thanks! :)
