Can i connect 2 monitors and one TV using one DVI-I and one DVI-D on the monitors and a hdmi on a 45" flatscreen tv with GTX 970 G1 Windforce? Is it just to plug everything in and i can use the three screens? I currently have a AMD radeon r9 280x and i cannot get three screens to work at the same time, it is only two that turns on, the third one just says "no signal" and turns off. I have read a lot and some say you need an active adapter from mini-dp too hdmi to get the third screen to work and some say you dont need an active one. because one the card i have now, have one hdmi port, a DVI-D, and two mini-dp. so i have just decided to buy a new graphic card.

On my 980Ti I have 3 monitors. 1st (main monitor) connects to the GPU with DVI. The 2nd monitor connects with HDMI. The 3rd monitor connects with HDMI (on the monitor) through a HDMI to DP adapter (on the GPU side).

You should be able to do it just fine connecting your two monitors and 1 TV to the GTX 970.
