Hello everyone, I just recieved my new PC and I am still waiting on my new Monitors. I was looking at the back of the Vid card and there is 1 HDMI hook up and 4 more ports that look like HDMI but only one corner is slanted. I have two Monitors coming and I wanted to know do I hook one up through the HDMI and then the second does it have to be hooked up via DVI or are those other ports some new Video port? Sorry I have been out of the Comp world for a while and I fell like I should know what those are. Below are the specs on the monitors and Comp.

Solution
If you monitor has displayport inputs I would just use those and not use any adapters. Yes, you can support 3 monitors, but if you plan on gaming on all 3 your GPU may struggle depending on the game.

Oh awesome, thank you. How do they hook up, are there specific cords to buy or just adaptors like you said? Also will my set up support 3 monitors if I decide to go that route in the future?
