I have two vg248qe 144hz monitors. I want to get a third however the MSI version of the 970 only has 1 hdmi, 1 dvi-d, 1 dvi-i , and 1 displayport. Can the dvi-i on it support 144hz or would I have to get a second graphics card to use its 144hz compatible links? Or am I screwed and would have to get a card with more 144hz compatible ports?
Want a third 144hz monitor, could I use a second graphics card ports?

DVI-I (as long as it's dual link), should be able to support 1440p at 60FPS+. I' not sure, though, that that card (the 970) is capable of supporting three screens at 1440p... I would personally get a 980 ot 980 Ti if you're gaming on the three monitors.

MSI States:
"Video Output Function
Dual-link DVI-I x 1
Dual-link DVI-D x 1
HDMI x 1
DisplayPort x 1"
DVI-I and DVI-D are almost identical when using the same linkage, only difference is one is capable of using analog and digital signals vs the only digital ability of the D variant. The analog ability is only present when a VGA-DVI adapter is used. That said DVI-I can support 144Hz, and has been done by several users here already, don't see an issue in doing it.

The monitors are only 1080p, And I realize that I probably can't run many games at 5760x1080 but I am getting the third monitor more for the productivity enhancement that comes with it. I do plan on gaming with surround on but not until I either get a better card or get another one and use SLI. Thanks for your help though everyone.
