Hey guys, I own three ultrawide monitors with resolutions of 2560 x 1080. I was able to run them all at full resolution before by using the two DVI outputs and a single HDMI output from my graphics card (MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G). However, I recently purchased an Oculus Rift which takes up my HDMI slot. Therefore I decided to output to my third monitor through my displayport slot and purchased an adapter.
Now that I output to my third monitor, its maximum output resolution is only 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz. I checked whether or not display port should be able to output in my desired resolution and it is capable of higher than what I want so I am wondering as to why I can not output at 2560 x 1080 at 60Hz. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Its also worth mentioning that I can not output to the Rift using the DisplayPort port so I cant just use my third monitor with the HDMI.
