Hi my name is Edwin I built my custom pc a year ago and was wanting to upgrade my graphics card i have a Msi GTX 970 and was looking at a GTX 1080, but with three screens that require HDMI i would have to use adapters and i really don't want to do that.I was looking at maybe a SLI configuration with 2 MSI GTX 970's or purchasing a GTX 1080 with adapters. But the 970 will be cheaper and that's probably the best option

Would Like some input on what you would do.

If you're gaming with the three monitors, then I would definitely suggest getting the GTX 1080 so you can utilize all the VRAM. In SLI with the GTX 970, you'll still only be equipped with the 4 (or really 3.5) GB of VRAM.

If you're not gaming and just streaming and such, I would suggest just SLIing a GTX 970.
