Cannot achieve 144hz on my third monitor ( not enough DVI ports )

[Wreckton]

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased 3 @144hz monitors. Everything setup great, except that I'm currently sitting on 60hz on my third monitor due to not having enough ports in my GPU for 3 DVI - DVI connections. The only available ports I have left in my GPU is 1 Display Port and 1 HDMI port, nothing else. The monitors only come with a DVI, VGA and HDMI port. I have no clue what to do and I'm literally ripping my hair out right now because I really want to achieve 144hz in surround and HDMI will not work obviously. Can someone guide me here, All I've been getting linked from other forums is some overpriced 200+ DP to DVI adapter of some sort, but when I call up the company to ask them about the cable all I get told is that these adapters do not support @144hz.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice received ))

Can you find anyone who can do 3x144hz monitors for gaming? Even if you could, there is no way a 970 could handle 144fps on 3 screens.

I'm going to SLI shortly ( if I manage to make this work ) , my main concern isnt to make it work smoothly, but just to know that I can actually make it work. no point in SLI'ing if I will never achieve 144hz in surround, but Il SLI as soon as this works so I need a solution for the cable :/

Going through there with SLI and your GPU, it seems you can use the DVI ports on both cards so that might be your solution, but who knows if it would work with the 144hz. Should though.

Oh yeah you're right ! I could use the ports from the 2nd gpu. Doing some research I have no clue how to find out if 144hz surround will be achieved though. Can anyone else confirm how this works?

Seems like the iracing forums may be a good site to ask on as those racing guys like their triple screens for racing.

Even with 2x970's though, I don't think you'll be able to hit 144hz on 3 screens. Not enough power.
