Hardware Question about multiple monitors

[SmellyPirateMonkey]

So my setup I'm thinking about is 1 34 inch ultra wide curved 3440x1440p 100hz as my main monitor via display port in the center and 2 27 inch 1080p 60hz monitors via hdmi, one on each side.

Im running dual 1080TIs. Is this doable or am I asking too much of my gpus?
Also my gpus only have 1 hdmi port a piece so would it be a problem if I ran the main monitor and 1 of the 1080ps through one card and the 3rd monitor from the 2nd card?

Would really appreciate it if someone could drop some wisdom on me

Your cards can handle that easily. As for the HDMI? Displayport to Hdmi..

Strain....lol. You could probably hook up 20 monitors to your setup and not strain anything.

As to using both at the same time, if you're not using them in SLI it'll work. If you are, then it won't. You need to use the main GPU for all your ports. In that case, you can just use a display port to HDMI adapter. Although the ultra wide monitor you want should support using display port natively, so just use that and a display port to hdmi adapter for the second HDMI monitor.

So run the 3440x1440 on one card and the extra 2 monitors on the 2nd card?

I do have them connected in SLI. So just connect the monitors to 1 card and I can still have the SLI setup?

Actually, I'm wrong, that info is for AMD cards, looks like Nvidia cards do let you use both cards at the same time for displays, even in SLI. So you should be able to connect one monitor to one card and one to the other and still use SLI.
