Has anyone been able to successfully daisy chain (NOT mirror) two DisplayPort monitors off of a single Thunderbolt port on an early 2015 13" MacBook Pro Retina (onboard Intel Iris 6100 graphics chip)?

I know earlier MBP models could only mirror the displays, and I'm hoping this shortcoming has been addressed in more recent models of the MBPr featuring DP1.2 and ThunderboltII. From what I've read, Windows via Bootcamp can successfully DaisyChain, but the drivers in Mac OS X cannot (but this information is about a year old).

The monitors I want to daisy chain are either the (2 each) NEC PA272W-BK, or the ViewSonic VP2772.
Resolution: 2560x1440
Refresh Rate: 60Hz
ColorSpace: Full AdobeRGB

Not buying or even considering a Apple Thunderbolt Display, as they're going on 5yrs(?) old, only support Thunderbolt v.1 and have weak color space support.

Thanks
