Is dual 970's enough for 3 monitors?

[10thmtnarty]

I've been reading up on dual and triple monitor support, and I was wondering if dual 970's (EVGA ACX 2.0 with 4gb and dual fans) would be enough for 3 120hz 24" 1080p LED monitors?

Here's my current setup, although I may upgrade the psu.

Also, what would you recommend for an hdmi adapter? and what monitor would you recommend? For tv's/monitors, I usually go with whatever's cheapest unless the name I trust is less than a 25% price difference.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I will be playing demanding FPS and strategy games.

genrally , no. if i am correct only vgas display depends on the cable quailty. a normal hdmi will be fine( as long as it isnt really bad)

 

[13thmonkey]

what do you want a hdmi adaptor for?

 

[10thmtnarty]

First, I'll only have 2 cards, and thus only 2 hdmi ports.
Second, I've heard that you're supposed to put all 3 monitors on one card.

Just realised I don't need a splitter

No you don't, you just connect the three screens, if you want duplicate (for some odd reason) you do that in windows.
