What do I need for a triple monitor set-up?

Hi,
So I'm currently running a dual monitor setup, with a GTX 970 Strix. I also have an i7 3770k, and 8Gb of RAM. It's obviously very difficult to game on both the monitors, because the bezel's of the monitors is right in the middle, so I'm currently gaming on just 1 monitor, with the other monitor being used for stuff like Facebook, etc. When I'm playing Shadow Of Mordor at Ultra High settings on 1 screen, I get about 90 FPS. If I play it on 2 screens at Ultra High, it goes to about 40 FPS. However, if I lower the settings to between Medium and Very High, I manage to average between 60 and 70 FPS. So what would I need if I wanted to game at Ultra Settings on 3 screens? (this is obviously still at 1080p on each screen, vertically, but 5760p horizontally. I'm thinking that maybe 2-Way SLI GTX 970's would handle it? I don't mind turning it down to Very High settings, but not really below that, and not below an average of 55 FPS either. Thanks :)
 
Solution
Yeah, adding another 970 will do the trick. I have 970s and I game on the more demanding 4k resolution and every game is being played at high or ultra.

You'd be better off watching benchmarks for both singles high end card or dual or even triple high-mid to mid level cards.
a 660ti is a great card but is midrange. a 970 is a better card and is the best as a high end card, a 980 or 980ti is ultra tier, use that at your own risk - if you can handle :p
