Can I setup Dual monitor with different ports?

[Elgauly]

Hello,

I'm going to buy a single gtx 970 graphics card that will control two monitors, for wide workspace.
Do I need to buy a graphics card that has port combination (ex: 3×dp, 2×hdmi) or I can use one hdmi and one display port?

As long as your monitors support the physical connection, you should be fine. Your OS can be set to extend your desktop to the 2nd monitor.

You can use any type of port to dual monitors. The only limitation is what your monitor has.

FYI DVI and HDMI are directly swappable (same data protocol) so you can get a DVI-HDMI cable and it will work exactly the same.

DisplayPort is a little weird. Many GPUs and devices have the software/hardware to enable DisplayPort to output an HDMI or DVI signal, thus a DisplayPort to ___ cable is all you need. If it lacks the ability to convert the signal then a simple cable will not work and will require an active adapter.

Naturally if your monitor has the proper ports already then it is not an issue anyways.
