Do the new cards support Daisy chain?
I had to upgrade my 780ti because I bought 3 Dell DP monitors and the cards does not support 3 DPs so I have the 3rd Dell sitting in the box on the floor and using one Asus with the two Dells for about 4 months now.
I instinctively bought the GTX980 as soon as I saw 3 DPs on the card.
But it would be nice if I could daisy chain the monitors instead of having to run 3 cable from the card.
Anyone know yet?

    The nVidia Reference has three display ports on it, you should be able to use all three of them.  I will have my 980 on Tuesday and will let you know.

    Thanks. I know the 3 DPs will work. I was just hoping that NVidia would support daisy chain with the new cards.
    I assume that they wont because I cant find any mention of it with the release.
    Please let me know if it works when you card arrives. My cards haven't even shipped yet.

    Depending on the resolution, I'm pretty sure you can daisy chain them and have them configured as one display (ie. your desktop will span across all the screens), but you won't have any Nvidia surround support! For the latter you'd have to connect them separately to the graphics card.

    Daisy chain works. I now have 3 monitors hooked up to my GTX980 with only 1 DP cable.
