So, I have a pretty decent i5 pc. Currently, it has a 650 TI Boost video card, which is OK for gaming on a single full HD monitor. I'm tempted to try gaming on three monitors. I can buy a GTX 1080, but the monitors that I have are all with DVI ports. They don't have displayport, while all the new cards have only multiple DPs. Can I make a triple monitor Nvidia surround with GTX 1080 and the available monitors without some expensive active DP to DVI converters?

Since all the gtx 1080 cards that I've seen have only one DVI port, an HDMI and multipe DP, I guess I'm still going to need a DP to DVI converter. Can I use a passive converter?
