First, my goal is to play games, especially racing games.
Now, I have a G751 w/ 970M (I purchased while working locally) but now that I work overseas, I plan to buy one with 980M, but I am now choosing between Alienware 17 with 980M or ASUS G751 with 980M.
Alienware 17 gives me a sure shot with a triple monitor setup or with High Def gaming if I purchase a graphics amplifier w/ a 980ti down the line but I am thinking to give the ROG G751 a chance because I want the build quality and silence of the ROG G751, and Alienware is way overpriced here in Qatar while the G751 980M is not.
#1.) I plan to buy 2 monitors or maybe 3 (thru VGA), with 1080p and use it for nVidia Surround Gaming, will it be possible to output to 2-3 monitors for gaming using the G751 980M. (I have no external monitor right now so I haven't tried doing any media output to my current G751 970M).
#2.) Are frame-rates playable if I game using a Triple Monitor @ 5760 x 1080p or Single 3440 x 1440p.
(Because I believe that 980M is not that much different from a 980 and hence, I think it can handle these resolutions, but that's why I'm asking because somebody might have a specific answer to my question.
#3.) Should I just wait for a 1080M and see if it promises a more reliable solution to my needs.
Thanks in advance to anybody helping me!

I'd suggest a single 2880x1440 monitor as triple 1080p display is going to be a bit much for a single 980M. The 980 desktop can't really do that either. You really need a titan class card to do that better.
The next gen is likely going to be closer to the full chip being unlocked but still wont be able to do what you want. -

Thanks for your replies.
Is it possible to output upto 2 or 3 monitor using the ASUS G751 while gaming ala nVidia surround?
I guess my best bet will be an alienware then purchase a graphics amp with a 980ti. -

Did Asus leave that option in the vbios? I know it does not have optimus but have not personally plugged in the external monitor and checked the option is left open:
