Hi guys (and gals)
 
Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.
I've been going back and forth trying to settle on a perfect (for me) monitor setup.
 
Looks like I'm going to finalize with the following:
 
My Dell U3415W (it's 3160 x 1440)  34 inch in the middle, flanked by 2 BenQ GW2765HT (2560 x 1440) 27inch on either side.
 
My card is a GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+ (EVGA Part 04G-P4-3975-KR). NO gaming whatsoever,  just for for web design and some coding.
 
I had asked before on this board and was told that it could handle 3 of the 2560 x 1440 monitors with NO problem.
Before I buy a second BenQ I want to make sure the Dell U3415 in the middle won't through a monkey wrench into it all
 
Is this setup OK? 
 
How can I tell,figure out what the card can and cannot handle (other than very expensive trial and error of course)?
 
Thanks,
 
Alfred

    I don't think running different resolutions is a big deal and the max a 970 gtx can do is 5120x3200 so your 3160 X 1440p is fine even with the other two monitors as long as your not gaming. I am running 2 monitors in my studio with different resolutions and there are a ton of programs out there that allow you to customize your wallpapers and different settings. Seeing that the 970 Gtx can do 4, 3 should be fine but maybe someone else can weight in with a little more.
