Cant get my triple screen setup working properly, help!

Hi guys

So I have a triple ultrawide setup with 1 34UM95 and 2 25UM58, 1 each side.

Issue is the UM58's only have HDMI input, and my 980ti only has 1 HDMI output.

Im trying to use a DP to HDMI cable for the first screen, but for some reason I cant get the correct resolution and its all flickery on the 3rd screen?

How am i supposed to solve this if I only have 1 HDMI out for screens that only support HDMI?

Thanks for the help!

buy the cheapest NVidia card with hdmi ports and add that to your system?

Try a different cable?

Without knowing the model of 980Ti I don't know the exact ports it has, but assuming it is close to reference, I would be looking at:

34UM95 - connect with a Displayport Cable (as this monitor supports it looking at specs)
25UM58 - connect with HDMI -> HDMI Cable
25UM58 - connect with DVI -> HDMI Cable

Personally I have never tried Displayport -> HDMI cables, but DVI-> HDMI has always worked fine. Whilst Displayport should be backwards compatible (Dual-Mode) with HDMI via passive cables, being a newer standard it is a lot more dependant on implementation and cable standard.
