I know 1080p is a bit outdated, but I don't think the gtx 1080 can run triple 1440p monitors at even 60fps in games like GTA V, etc. Would the 1080 be able to power triple 1080p at high-ish settings with fps over 60? I usually play games like CS:GO, which I know isn't particularly hard to drive, and the most demanding game I play is GTAV or Battlefield 4. Also, if I decide to go with an ultrawide monitor instead, would the GTX 1080 be able to do the run a 1080p 144hz?

I don't think anyone has published data on that yet.

I was just trying to make the point that 144Hz is 240% of the 60Hz system. Most GPU's struggle to maintain 60Hz on triple displays. But these are a completely new breed of GPU. They might be able to do what you want on a single GPU. Or you might need to lower the Hz setting to 90Hz or 100Hz. Or you might need to try going SLI with a pair of them.

In time, we will get these answers. But I have not seen any triple display benchmarks published yet.

1) 1080 x 1920 x 60Hz = 124,416,000 pixels per second x 3 monitors = 373,248,000
2) 1080 x 1920 x 144Hz = 298,598,400 pixels per second x 3 monitors = 895,795,200
3) 2160 x 3840 x 60Hz = 497,664,000 pixels per second x 3 monitors = 1,492,992,000

#1) 1080p @ 60Hz on a 3 monitor setup.
#2) 1080p @ 144z on a 3 monitor setup.
#3) 2160p @ 60Hz on a 3 monitor setup (4K video).

The final number on each of the three lines above is the number of pixels per second each of those setups would have to generate to maintain the 60Hz or 144Hz video at exactly the started Hz (or frames per second. G-Sync will help smooth that out some if you buy G-sync enabled monitors.

Any way you look at it, the second and third choices need a boatload of horsepower.
