So I had this monitor: http://www.microcenter.com/product/437546/B286HK_28_4K_UHD_Monitor Then a few days ago I purchased a triple monitor desk mount and two of these monitors: http://www.microcenter.com/product/475058/K212HQL_207_LED_Widescreen_Display_Monitor I have an EVGA 970 FTW. I am using Display port for the main acer monitor in the middle. I only have 1 HDMI, a DVI-D, and a DVI-I left. The two new monitors only support DVI and VGA. I obviously want to use DVI, as my card does't even have a VGA port. Basically I want to know what cables I should buy that will let me connect my two DVI monitors to my DVI-D and DVI-I card.

 

Thanks for the help :)

 

[EDIT] I am not using this for wide screen gaming, just as more screen real estate for reference images when working with photoshop, having Skype open on one with a game on my main, a recording software, spotify, ect.

Just 2 regular DVI cables.

 

DVI-I vs DVI-D, I think the -I has integrated VGA signal while -D is digital only. Doesn't matter in your case.

So 2 regular DVI cables should plug into my DVI-D and DVI-I in my GPU?

Also, what exactly is considered "regular"? could you possibly provide a link to one?
