Greetings

The monitors i have been looking at just went on sale and it lasts only for 8 hours.
Before i rush in and buy them i would like to know how i can plug them all in and be able to play on all three screens with just one GPU.

The screens only have 2x HDMI and 1x VGA

My GPU is a GTX 670 with HDMI, 2x DVI and Displayport and i would like to be able to play with a 5760x1080 resolution in games (I know it won't run the latest games, but I plan on upgrading my PC to 970 SLI later)

What cables/adapters will i need to do this? - I read somewhere that i had to utilize the displayport for some reason to be able to play a game on all three screens, but I can't seem to find any solutions when the screens doesn't have DVI.

If you have any questions regarding my PC or the monitors i will watch over this thread like a hawk for the next eight hours.

EDIT: I believe it is called 3D Surround or something like that.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to use the HDMI and DVI ports on your card, the DisplayPort requirement is only for AMD cards using Eyefinity. For the two monitors connected to the DVI ports, you can either use a male DVI to female HDMI adapter (http://www.amazon.com/Importer520-Plated-Female-DVI-D-Adapter/dp/B0035B4LJM) and then a standard HDMI cable, or you can get a cable that is male DVI on one end and male HDMI on the other...

As far as the name, Surround is the multi-monitor setup, and 3D surround is specifically a setup using 3D monitors. There are slightly different requirements, you can see them here: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/how-to-correctly-configure-geforce-gtx-680-surround#1.
