Can I connect 2 TVs to my GTX 760? Currently using 1 TV connected to the HDMI port and a monitor to one of the DVI ports. My monitor is going bad and it will be less expensive if I can replace it with a tv .
The card has :
1x Native Dual-link DVI-I
1x Native Dual-link DVI-D
1x Native HDMI
1x Native DisplayPort
but i am unsure what the display port is for or what cable I would use.
Thanks for your help!

Yes, absolutely. I would just use a DVI to HDMI cable if it's not a TV that comes with a DVI cable. Bear in mind though, a TV is going to have worse picture quality, worse connection options, and fewer features. Just saying.

Yes, you can use a second TV with your GTX760. It just depends on what inputs are available on the second one. If the second TV has an HDMI port, then the easiest solution would be to connect it with either a DVI-D to HDMI cable (no audio) or a DisplayPort to HDMI cable (which will include audio). If your TV does not have an available HDMI input, but does have a VGA input, then your best solution would be to use a DVI to VGA adapter. Connect the adapter to the DVI-I port of the graphics card and then connect the TV using a VGA cable.

^ Many DVI-I connectors can carry two channel audio. Just throwing that out there, since it'll be a lot cheaper than a DP cable.

^ but you'd need a two-pin audio cable from the motherboard to the graphics card, wouldn't you?

(not saying it's a bad thing)

Depends on the graphics card - modern Nvidia GPUs don't require it, as their drivers trick the motherboard into just thinking it's requesting audio for HDMI.

Will there be an appreciable difference in viewing quality if the TV has 1080p resolution? The TVs I am considering have that plus at least 1 HDMI connection. The TV I am currently using doesn't seem to cause any degradation in viewing quality.

It's a digital connection... there will be absolutely no difference between HDMI-HDMI, DVI-DVI, or HDMI-DVI. The only connection which is worse is VGA, and the only one which is better is DisplayPort - but not in image quality, just in the fact that it can handle higher resolutions, which doesn't matter to you.
