OK so for my next build the ideal monitor setup would be 1 4k monitor & 2 1080p monitors. My main question is with the following setup should I be able to run on those resolutions at ultra (no msaa) @ 60fps?

This is the ideal build so far.
I7 5820k
980ti Sli
750ti dedicated physx card
32Gb of DDR4
Additionally I plan on doing a custom loop and overclocking the gpus in the neighborhood 1500 MHz GPU clock and 8000MHz mem clock (provided it is stable of course!)

So is the aforementioned setup possible? Or should I just wait a GPU generation or two and try to shoot for triple 4k?

All help is greatly appreciated!!

Hey Friend,
The next generation of nvidia GPUs (Pascal) wont be driving 3x4K at 60fps. SLI (2) 980ti will give you great 4K performance right now however.

I'm able to get 60fps on most games @ 4K with careful setting tweaks (Medium<>High). Great choice on the 5820K as well.

If this is straight gaming get a 6700k instead of the 5820k. Games only utilize 4 cores and it has higher clock rates = better.
Sli 980tis will do 4k just fine without msaa. You can go for it if you want or wait if you want to be a bit more futureproof.
But get rid of the 750ti. It's pretty much always nonsense to get a dedicated physx card, espcially if you aim for 2 high end cards. Don't assign any card as the dedicated physx card.

So yea, 4k will be fine with this setup.

Edit: @toddybody: How do you know? Nvidia was VERY promising with the Pascal announcements. We don't know anything about those cards yet.

With DX12 supporting more cores the 5820k seems more of a prize. Additionally the 5820k has 28 Lanes compared to the 16 lanes of the 6700k. Though the 3.4GHz clock speed is lower with a good loop 4.4-4.5 is more than feasible! Though after looking at the lack luster list of games that support Physx I'll probably just not pick up a dedicated card.

Youre right, I dont know what they'll be able to do with certainty. JUST going off the insane rumors (double transistor counts) for the full GM200 replacement, you could possibly get a card twice as powerful as a Titan X. In that same logic, effectively doubling TitanX fps in most 2160p benchmarks isnt going to net you a solid 60fps in all titles. If you had two of these brutish cards, youre still held back by imperfect SLI scaling (until DX12's promised unified graphical pipeline) which *may* get you a 70% increase in frames for 2nd card. Adding TWO more 2160p displays (11520x2160=24883200px/frame * 60fps=1492992000px/sec@60hz) really "turns it to 11".
