Hi. Decided to post in here as I am not really asking about a specific GPU. Essentially, when AMD 480X comes out I will probably upgrade to that or perhaps a GTX 1060. That isn't the issue.
My question is about connectivity. I am currently running a three monitor extended desktop setup with my Radeon 5850 connecting to 2 via DVI and my IGP connected to the third via VGA.
How will I go about connecting all three with the new card?
Not being dense but the new cards are either HDMI or Display port and my monitors are DVI and VGA. So, I need adaptors but not sure whether I need passive or active DVI in the first instance and also whether I can run all three from the new card or whether I have to continue with the current setup of two on GPU (DVI) and 1 on IGP (VGA).
I assume with Display port (assuming cards comes with three) I could just get three adaptors. If so, would you please point me in the right direction.
In other words one of these https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-value-dvi-to-hdmi-video-adapter-dv-005-cb-029-ok.html
and two of these https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-value-displayport-to-dvi-adaptor-hdhdport-001-cb-086-ok.html for IGP and GPU? Or three DP to DVI and run everything via the GPU.
Thanks
