triple display questions

So I'm buying the gigabyte gtx 970 windforce g1 gaming and it has 3 display port , one dvi and one hdmi spot. The moniters I plan on getting are lowerish quality. BenQ Gaming Monitor RL2455HM (24-Inch LED) with one hdmi one vga and one dvi port. should I just buy 3 display port to dvi converters ? Do converters effect performance of the monitors lag time or refresh rate . Really not sure how these things effect each other or if they do at all. as always thanks for the help!

You may as well just buy one DP to DVI adapter and hook up the other two with HDMI and DVI. The picture quality will be the same (assuming they're 1080p) and adapters won't introduce any input lag, at least none that you'll be able to notice.

I use a DP -> DVI converter and it works. Bit too expensive IMHO, but it works. Doesn't add 'lag time' ( :P ), doesn't affect refresh rate or whatever.

I believe you can use HDMI, DVI and 1 DP -> DVI adapter. 

Can someone else confirm this too?

I see @Oshino Shinobu said the same :P
