The system i'm building will have an 1080 ti when I can get my hands on one at a fair price. It will have multiple DP ports as well as one HDMI.

I will be running 2 - 3 monitors, but I will use only one of them for high end gaming using res above 1080p. I've read that when using the DP on multi monitor set-ups that they share bandwidth. Do you recommend using DP for the main gaming monitor and HDMI for the others or should I not be concerned about the shared bandwidth degrading my gaming and use all 3 DP ports on the GPU?
 
Solution
You shouldnt be concerned it makes no odds at all.

There is that much theoretical bandwith available over dp you could theoretically run 4 x 4k 60k htz screens through a single cable.
