How well will a 980ti windforce handle 3 screen gaming?

Hi, I have a 980ti and a 6700k pc at the moment running one 60hz monitor. I was wondering, if I were to upgrade to 3 monitors, how well would the 980ti handle with rendering all the games I play? Would I still be able to achieve at least 60fps, when running on all 3 screens (nvidia surround). The new monitors I may be getting are 75hz but not sure if that will be best for 3 screen gaming.

Thanks!

Well look at this way. 4K is 4x1080p, so if you want to game at 3x1080p, then look up 4K benchmarks for the 980ti for the games you want to play. Since you'd only be gaming at 3/4 of 4K resolution, you could add 25% fps to the results, but then take off a few percent for the surround overhead, so maybe take a 4K score and times by 1.2 should give you roughly the FPS you'd get at 3x1080p.

It's not an exact science, but end of the day it's raw pixels and how many the card can do and it doesn't care if it's a 4k screen or multiple 1080p screens, pixels are pixels.
