First off, are you expecting to game at all 6 monitors at the same time? If the answer to that is yes, then even at light games, you need a much better GPU.

List your full system specs and what games are you planning to play and at what resolutions.

You did not answer my questions.
GTX 980 was a very good card but it's not so much anymore with todays standards.Certainly not for 6 monitors.

Almost no GPU offers 6 monitor support. Most offer 3-4.

That GPU is from 2014 so by today's standards it's not really good. It is old technology and you will need better cards. You will almost probably need a new PSU as well.

Need to know what games, what resolution, and what PSU you have.

You can use 6 monitor outside games in SLI , but for games you cant.

for upto 16 monitors you will need nvidia Quadro cards

for 6 monitors , AMD Radeon Pro cards , like

I do not even know if this will work but.....

Do your current monitor have Display Port?

Each Display Port should be able to drive 2 monitors (depending on the resolution). It will be an expensive setup cause if it works you will a need current top of the line GPU to drive such a huge amount of pixels with at least 3 independent display port . And thats if the games can be configured to work on 6 screens. I know most games can run on 3 monitors but never tested more than 3.

The bad thing about SLI and Surround is that its not supported by many games, and specially not the newer ones. I tried this at work when I build a Video Wall with 6 screens and 2 GTX 980 (I think it was 2015) and it did run 2013 Tomb Raider in a "decent" way expanded to all 6 screens but that was it, the other game I tried did not work and it supported SLI according to developers.

in that case maybe i should buy the new LG 75 in Nano tv that will do the job what u think

it is a nice choice ... but get only the Nano series not the normal series if you want to game on LG.

this one

also , dont get nano80 , get nano 85 , because it has 120hz refresh rate and supports ALLM and AMD freesync

Dont get any nano tv below 85 models , 85 and above (this is not the screen size, it is the model)

Thank you all
but still if i add one more different kind of GPU no t doing Sli would i still be able to run 6 or 5 monitor just for daily work thanks
