Duet is having this 50% off sale wich caught my interest, I have a 11" iPad pro and a 2.6ghz 2014 Mac Mini, my mini is connected to a 2568x1080 monitor, I know that this model is incapable of running 4K at 60hz, but will it be able to run his own display (2668x1080) plus the ipad on duet with his 2388 x 1668 display decently?

I'm afraid of spending money into it and the performance being subpar because of the hardware of my mini. anyone has used a setup similar to that or has any experience?

I currently use the same Mac Mini setup as you but have (2) 2560x1080 monitors and occasionally run Duet on an iPad for the extra real estate. While it's not super stellar performance-wise it's definitely passable and even more so if the content is mostly static on the iPad. Duet relies on the CPU to render the images so if there's something constantly refreshing the image that's when you'll notice performance degradation.

Again, it's performance is fine as long as you don't expect too much from it.
