Will dual 980 ti run 7680x1440 at 144hz?

I'm looking to upgrade my monitors to 3 1440p 144hz. Currently I run 3 1080p at 60hz no problem max settings on any game on a single 980ti.

My current specs are
i7-5960x 8 core 3.0 Ghz
16GB DDR4 SDRAM 3300
980 ti sc+ acx 2.0

I don't think what I have currently could run a triple 1440p display at 144hz so I was thinking of adding:

Another 16GB DDR4 SDRAM 3300
Another 980 to sc+ acx 2.0 in SLI

Will this be able to handle that kind of load? Thanks in advance

That's what I'm trying to say lol.
Anyway, @OP, since you're only using a single 2560x1440p display for actual gaming, you should be perfect with that.
The side screens will have very little impact on performance so long as you use the middle one as your primary monitor.
What you are looking at is more demanding than 4K on the GPU. You will have to reduce setting and 144 FPS is not going to happen very often, even when you lower settings, due to CPU bound games. It may still be great to play, even if it's not maxed. As IQ has improved, the less the higher settings improve image quality.

Honestly too I am not necessarily trying to run brand new games completely maxed. I would be using the triple monitors primarily as working real estate. There is only a few select games I currently play and the main game I play I have set at the lowest possible settings anyways plus that particular game limits you to 1 screen any way. This is more curiosity for the games I hop on periodically like Skyrim
 
Talking graphically intensive games at high settings constant 144fps when referring to 1440p 144hz.
I've run SLI 1080s and i'm telling you you can't max graphical stuff out at 144fps, its a fact.
With CS:GO or League that's a no brainer.
This is 7680x1440, that's a massive revolution.....

i believe 2 titan xp's can handle that resolution... but at 144fps? with all maxed out? no (but maybe in the 30-45 fps range?). and you wouldn't even consider 2 980ti's for that.

Yeah I plan to use the middle as my primary. And in regards to running the single display, that's what I was thinking there will be a select few games I'd try to run with the full 3 display but those are games that I am perfectly fine with having a 45-60fps and I think the dual SLI should run those around there I hope. Either way those I play very seldomly. Thanks for the help everyone
