How to daisy chain my monitors with DisplayPort?

I currently have two monitors connected to my PC via DVI cables (my nVidia card has two DVI outputs). I'm thinking of getting a new video card (the nVidia 1050 Ti), but it doesn't have "dual" DVI ports. It has one DVI, one DisplayPort, and one HDMI. My monitors have DVI, DisplayPort, and VGA inputs but they do NOT have a DisplayPort output for daisy chaining.

So my question is, do I need to use two different ports and cables to run each monitor if I use the new nVidia 1050 Ti card? OR can I use the one DisplayPort output and somehow hookup to both my monitors? I have seen some MST hubs that might work - but it seems these are made for systems that were prior to DP v1.2 specs.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Displayport chaining requires monitors with native DisplayPort input and output. So you can't chain those two. You will have to run cable to each.
