My card has 2 dvi 1 displayport and 1 hdmi ports.

I currently have 2 monitors with dvi and a LED tv with HDMI. From research this will not work as 1 display needs to be connected via DP port.

Should the displayport be favoured in anyway to be connected to a certain screen? e.g. TV over monitor or monitor over TV?

E.g. Should I leave the 2 dvi connected and get a HDMI to DP cable or shall I leave 1 DVI and 1 HDMI connected and get a DVI to DP adapter?

It is better to use the HDMI with the TV. Also I am not sure if HDMI to DP cable can carry audio signal. DisplayPort supports audio but it is not certain to work with an HDMI TV.

If you have the capability, you should be able to daisy chain the DP and use only one output on the GPU, but that depends on your monitors/TVs.
