    I am trying to setup 3 monitor gaming surround connecting 3 ASUS ROG Swift monitors to my brand new MSI GT80 Titan SLI. My hope is to take advantage of the double GTX 980's in SLI configuration and the support for G-Synch technology to avoid tearing. I have a problem however when I realize that the GT80 Titan has only 2 display port outputs and one HDMI and G-Sync ONLY works with DisplayPort and my ASUS ROG Swift monitors only have display port inputs.

    Has anybody tried this and found a solution???

    As far as I know, g-sync does not work over HDMI so you won't be able to do a triple monitor g-sync setup. That is, unless nvidia releases support for HDMI.

    I have only done regular triple monitor setup, and it does work for the games I tested. But I do not have g-sync monitors.

    At this point I don't care about the G-sync more than I do about the laptop being able to at least recognize the third monitor. At this point all I get is 2 monitors recognized but the third is not due to the HDMI output and the monitor only having a DP input. I am trying an MST DP hub tomorrow, however I read that Nvidia does not support surround with an MST Hub. Any ideas on how to get the third monitor as part of the surround setup will be appreciated, regardless of having the G-Sync active or not.

    Thanks!
