Hello!

I have a GTX 970 from Gigabyte. It has 1x HDMI out, 3x DisplayPort out and 1x DualLink DVI-I/DVI-D out. I also have 1x 24 inch Samsung monitor connected via HDMI. Which one of the ohter 4 Ports should I use for a second HDMI Display? Or should I go from one of all the ports to VGA for my Samsung monitor and use the HDMI for my new second display (That will be a TV mostly used for YouTube, Netflix etc.)

Thanks!

Hi, For VGA, you'd use a DVI-I to VGA adapter (the other ports require a converter). In this case, you can use the HDMI for the tv.
Otherwise, you can use a DVI-D to HDMI cable, but no sound in this case from the tv.
