Hello everyone!
I'm not sure if I'm over thinking this and thinking I'm going to run into a problem, when in all reality I'm just over thinking the scenario.

I am currently running a single EVGA 780ti and it is underwater, 4820K processor and 32GB of ram.

I want to run 3 ASUS 248qe's for gaming, and be able to use my tv as a 4th display (TV) just to movies on basicly.

My problem is I'm not sure how to hook these up. I've attempted to do some research but that hasn't lead me to any conclusive answers.

From what I'm gathering from geforce.com (http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/3dvision-sur...) I would use the DVI-I, DVI-P, and Display Port for the triple monitors and I could use the HDMI port for my tv. That is for 3dsurround and says it does not support portrait, only landscape mode.

I'm not sure which I would prefer landscape or portrait so is this option not available to me at all? Or is it just not available for 3dsurround. (which I'm not quite sure I'd even want to run 3d).

Other options I have seen are small boxes that connect multiple Display Port monitors and plug into the Display Port on the video card. Here's and example: (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...)

I'm not sure if either is the correct way, or if both which is better than the other. I don't mind buying an additional part if required or if just buying a couple cables will work just fine. But I don't want to just use a couple cables and have the displays not match (one brighter than the other, etc..)

Basicly I want to make sure I do this correctly to get the full potential out of my hardware!

I'm currently using HDMI to tv and DVI to single monitor.
