980 SLI What ports should i use for monitors?

[Articxslack]

Just 20 minutes ago, I ordered 2 GTX 980's to replace my 2 770's. I only had 1 monitor and used DVI to connect it. Recently investing in 3 new 1080p monitors, i'm confused what connections to use. Being my cards will be in SLI, won't I be forced to use the top card? The cards each have 3 display port, 1 HDMI and 1 DVI. My monitors can do DVI and HDMI. What configuration should I use to plug in my monitors? [They all the same model] Like I asked what connections will give me the best performance at 1080p and will give NO color or frame difference. Thanks <3

[PS: Is it a good idea to just use the existing DVI port on the top 980 and use 2 DISPLAY port to DVI and have all my panels coming off the top card?]

GTX980 - Dual Link DVI-I, HDMI 2.0, 3x DisplayPort 1.2 -

Your monitors have HDMI and VGA inputs

You'll need 3 x DP to HDMI active adapters - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815158348

My monitors are 1920x1080.... not 1900x1200

Maximum Digital Resolutions: 1920x1200 - And so should be fine.

Display port is capable of doing 4k. Which connections are you talking about?

Display port on your 980 to HDMI on your monitor.

DP can do 4K. They can also do 1080p
