I'd love to be wrong here, but for
      years nvidia imposed a limitation of only 2 monitors possible at
      all when I was already doing 6x wide with ati on a 5870 card.  As
      buggy as fglrx tended to be, it mostly worked as a desktop in ways
      nvidia seemingly could only dream.


      What does this show on yours for the first line?  The maximum is
      relevant here.


      mb@host:~$ xrandr -q

      Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 11520 x 2160, 
maximum 16384 x 16384

      -mb

      I believe you've read into their Max Resolution incorrectly.  The
      max resolution that Nvidia shows is the maximum the card can drive
      any single monitor... so in other words the 1080 is capable of
      driving an 8K monitor as well as whatever other monitors you
      happen to have hooked up.  You can run whatever monitors it
      supports in whatever configuration you like and you will get the
      correct resolution that you are looking for.


      Looking at the plugs available on the nvidia 1080 it looks like it
      would easily drive 3-8K monitors and a 4K monitor all at the same
      time giving you 26880x4320
