I just picked up an EVGA GTX 770 and a Corsair TX650W and I would like to add a third monitor to my desktop, but I have a few questions. I would like to use all three monitors in extended desktop mode which, from reading the specs I assume the GPU is capable of doing, but please let me know if I've missed something. I'm currently running two older VGA monitors and plan to add a newer monitor with a digital connection that I will use as my primary. The GTX 770 of course has four different connectors, DVI-D, DVI-I, HDMI, and Display port. I understand that I will need to use a digital to analog converter since only DVI-I supports analog video for VGA connections but I'm not sure which connection I should buy the converter for or if it even makes a difference. I obviously am going to use a simple adapter to connect one of the VGA monitors to the DVI-I port but I was hoping someone could give me some advice on where to connect the digital monitor and the other VGA for the best performance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for your help.
 
Solution
You can use any combination of outputs you want. The Nvidia cards didn't require that you use a displayport or an active displayport adapter for 3 or more monitors like the AMD cards of the time.
