Hello,

Ive actually just ordered 3x GTX 980's for my new PC im building. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/g9m2nQ

Yes i know the PC is mega overkill...

Since i have 3 monitors, i thought it might be better to have a 3 way SLI, 1 GPU for each monitor (lol). Would 2 Titan X be better or should i stick with the 3 GTX 980's?

Im mainly going to be recording gameplay, and rendering videos as well as occasionally playing max spec games. How should i have everything setup for best results? Should i have 1 monitor per GPU? Or save 1 GPU entirely for rendering or something?

Thanks for your helps guys! much appreciated!

In short: No

It brings a myriad of problems with it...the less GPU's in a system the better is my rule of thumb.

If you can afford 2 Titan X...well...this just doesn't need to be discussed.
