Could a single MSI GTX 980 Ti run every game at max settings on 3 1080p monitors without dipping below 50 FPS?

See title, would a single MSI 980 Ti be enough to run pretty much every game maxed out (Not counting AA obviously) on 3 1080p monitors without dipping below 50 FPS at any given time, or would I have to go SLI to accomplish that? Also, incase anyone is wondering, I chose the MSI 980 Ti because this seems to be the best reviewed 980 Ti and it also seems to have less coil whine and better QC than some of the other 980 Tis. And ALSO incase anyone is wondering, I would very rarely be gaming on all three monitors, I would usually just be gaming on one of the monitors and have web browsers open on the other two, just thought I'd say that since I don't really know much about running a single game on three monitors so I don't know if it's really demanding or not.

Well, let's see... Three 1080p monitors is 3/4 4k resolution, so expect around that, check the bench marks on the games that you play to see where you stand. Since it can run a lot of older games at 4k without too much trouble, I'd say you're probably all right with just one, Definitely just one for 1080p play. On newer games, games not out yet, who's to say, depends on how well they're optimized and such. There may even come a time when a 980ti won't run a 1080p game maxed out. I can't forsee that in the near future, but hey, everyone thought Batman was gonna run fine too. So, to paraphrase, you should be all right with a 980ti, it's a great card, I only have a 970 right now (I'm on the step up program for a 980ti though (EVGA))...

For the games I play, I should be able to set everything to max lvls without AA and see a consistent 60+ frames when I get the 980ti, the 970 is doing around 50 FPS.

I don't think anyone is going to guarantee that at no time would any portion of any new game never drop below 50 FPS. I honestly do not believe that most devs care if some spots within their game causes the GPU to drop down in speeds. I mean, look at Crysis. It took 7 years before the hardware really allowed people to play the game on Ultra settings, and even then, there were scenes where ultra was still too high.

All you can do is buy the best video card you can afford, and set the settings accordingly. And having a 980Ti is going to put you right up in the top few video cards available.

What I ment by that was consistently getting above 50 FPS, of course it's gonna dip down below that occasionally, the only way it wouldn't is if I had a Titan X on a 240p screen playing minecraft, and even then you could do some things to push the Titan X. Sorry I didn't word that better :)
