Looking forward to buy this monitor:

27 inch dell ips 3840 x 2160
It is like 4 FHD compressed in one 27 inch. Should be good. Have you tried this? Will it work?
Before i tried 3x24inch monitor setup and it ended with pain in neck. It was very uncomfortable to look on side screens.

I think GTX980 or 970 will handle 3x eve clients. What do you think?

I run a single GTX 970 with 3 monitors and 5 clients at home. 3 clients should be no problem.

I had an interesting time setting up my 4k monitor on my PC; and I run 4 sessions concurrently with few issues, running a GTX 750.

I wrote up about it at http://foo-eve.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/4k-monitor-and-multiple-sessions.html

Happy with the final result, less than thrilled with what I had to do to get it set up. The good thing is that Eve played very nicely.
