I have a fairly powerful gaming PC that can run BF4 and Crysis 3 at ultra with about 50 frames per second. This build includes a GTX 670, and an overclocked i5 CPU. I currently use an AOC i2353Fh as my monitor, and I am thinking about getting a dual or triple monitor setup. I use my PC for FPS gaming and programming in unity. The two monitors I am considering are both called Dell U2414H, and have the same resolution of 1080p and refresh rate of 60 Hz as my current monitor.
My current monitor has a 5ms response time, and the Dell ones have an 8ms response time. The dell ones are priced at around £190 each.
My GPU looks like this, and I recently discovered it only has 1 HDMI port...
Here there is a HDMI, a DisplayPort, and the two types of DVI (DVI-I and DVI-D)
My current monitor has 2 HDMI ports and 1 VGA, but the dell monitors I am about to buy have a larger choice. They offer 2 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort and 1 Mini DisplayPort, as well as a 'DisplayPort out (MST)' which i read somewhere allowed for the monitors to be 'daisy chained together'. At home I have one HDMI cable, and so it is obvious I will need to buy more cables. Which cables should I buy to enable the use of all three screens at the same time, and which configuration would result in minimal lag?
Also, please tell me if there is anything wrong with my choice of hardware.
My current thinking is to keep using a HDMI cable to connect my AOC monitor to my PC, and then use 2 '1.5M HDMI to DVI-D' cables to connect the 2 new monitors. The converter is below.
