Hi!
I'm working on my current 3 monitor setup, and I'm a little confused about where i should plug my monitors into my graphics cards?
The 2x 980's i will buy would either be:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NQ86IRW/?tag=pcpapi-20
or
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O4S9NY8/ref=as_li_q...
Please comment about which one you think is the best for the job
My other specs are
I7 Quad Core 4790K 4,8GHz
MSI Z97 Gaming motherboard (SLI Ready)
CRUCIAL DDR3-1600 DIMM 2x8 RAM (16GB)
(Im getting a 850W Gold Certified 80+ Tier 1 PSU for my new setup)
240GB SSD and 1TB Harddisk
Razer Deathstalker Ultimate Keyboard
Razer Deathadder Mouse (New Version)
Raser 7.1 Tiamat Headset
So back to the title, about plugging my monitors into the graphics cards, please tell me where i should plug the monitors in.
These are my monitors I'm going with:
http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VE278Q/
http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/965792?varenummer=96...
If you take a look at my graphics cards and monitors, where do i plug the monitors in? What cable holes, DVI HDMI etc? Do i need some sort of transforming cable? Do i plug every monitor into the 1st graphics card? What do i have to do?
IF YOU NEED MORE INFO ASK ME IN THE COMMENTS! I'll be very glad to answer
.
PLEASE TELL ME EVERYTHING I NEED TO KEEP IN MIND!
Thanks VERY much for helping

if all 3 monitors have Display ports on them then plug them in using a display port cable. Plug all 3 monitors into the primary video card, this will allow you to still run your cards in sli. If your monitors do not all have display port then use a combination of DVI, HDMI, and Display port to connect them to the primary card.
Hi!
Thanks for your answer!
I don't really get how the different plug-in's look (DVI, HDMI, etc.) Could you maybe link me some transformer cables, if i need them? I do right? Like HDMI-DVI etc.
You don't need transformers. You have Displayport on the monitors linked. You just need 3 Displayport to Displayport cables. if you don't know what it looks like, you can easily google the image,
