A 980 just arrived and I've noticed the outputs are different than my old card so now I need to figure out the best config and get the correct cables.

980 ports: 3 x Mini DP, 1 x mini HDMI, 1 x DVI

Main monitor (2560x1440): Display Port & DVI
Secondary Monitor (1920x1200): DVI & VGA(!)
DK2: HDMI

I'm trying to figure out the best cables to use for each device. I know DP and HDMI have different advantages depending on refresh rates and resolution which is why it makes this a little harder. What's the best configuration for this lot?

I was thinking:

Main monitor: DP to DP-Mini 1.2
Secondary monitor: DVI to DVI
DK2: HDMI to HDMI mini adapter

I remember when it was just VGA and that was that :p
