Go to solution Solved by Lord Pantaloons,

no no no you said two are already HDMI and one is DVI. You plug the DVI monitor into one of the DVI ports on the GPU, one of the HDMI monitors into the HDMI port on the GPU and then get either an HDMI to DVI cable/block or an HDMI to Display port cable/block for the second HDMI monitor and plug it into the corresponding port on the GPU.

Is this what the back of your GPU looks like? also what connector type do the monitors have?

Your GPU only has one HDMI port, so you need to get a converter cable or block that goes from HDMI to either DVI or Display port for the other HDMI monitor.

No not that I know of, basically when you have everything hooked up you'll have two hooked into the DVI ports and one in HDMI.

no no no you said two are already HDMI and one is DVI. You plug the DVI monitor into one of the DVI ports on the GPU, one of the HDMI monitors into the HDMI port on the GPU and then get either an HDMI to DVI cable/block or an HDMI to Display port cable/block for the second HDMI monitor and plug it into the corresponding port on the GPU.
