Triple monitoring VGA + VGA + HDMI on GTX 680

[wizard27]

Greetings there , i recently bought GTX 680 and i have 2x VGA and 1x HDMI monitors. When i plug them , its aways that only 2 of them are recognized by the card. I have all kind of passive dongles but i cant run them all at once. As u may know , gtx 680 does have DVI-I , DVI-D , HDMI and DP outputs.
Also for info , one of my monitors is Samsung 2343NW wich is running somehow rare resolution (2048x1152). The other VGA monitor is 22" standard resolution LG and the 3rd monitor is Acer 24" with HDMI output.

Ive read on the forums that i have to use some active (lets say VGA to displayport) + HDMI + VGA to DVI to run them all ?

If there is anyone who is using this setup (VGA + VGA + HDMI), please let me know what should i do. Or let me know if this active adapters do the work , since i have read that its 50/50 chance to work. and i simply dont want to buy something that it might not work.
i rather buy new dvi or hdmi monitor.

thanks for the help guys

The ONLY output that is VGA is through the DVI-I output via the passive adapter (which just connects to the analog pins).

I suggest getting a new monitor considering a good Active adapter is a big chunk of the cost of a new monitor.

Example: http://www.pcpartpicker.com/part/aoc-monitor-i2267fw (IPS panel)

For gaming may want non-IPS, low response like this: http://www.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-ve247h

I consider 5ms response the maximum for gaming. 2ms or less is better.

something like this should fix you up just fine:

but it is too wide and blocks other ports.

what about this ?

That should do the same job just fine

if i swap one of the VGA monitors with DVI monitor , will it work without active adapters ?
