Triple HDMI GPU

[Arcanyx]

I am currently using an EVGA GTX 960 2GB card which I (unfortunately) purchased in June last year - barely a couple of weeks before the 1060 landed (sigh).

Current setup: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Arcanyx/saved/6yD23C - minus the Deathadder which is crapping out on me right now.

 

Anyway, I have the 960 hooked up to two BenQ GW2470H monitors as I do some light gaming and streaming, and the dual-monitor setup is something I wanna continue having. Since the BenQ only has VGA or HDMI inputs, I am using one HDMI and one DVI-D ports on the GPU (the DVI being used via a VGA adapter to the second monitor).

 

What I wanted to do all the while was to have another port available to hook up my Sony Bravia TV, which sits at the other end of my bedroom and has a 30m HDMI cable routed from it to my PC desk - I primitively used to disconnect my BenQ just so I could connect the Sony as and when I wanted to watch a movie.

 

So, TL;DR: looking for any GPU option that can cater to my current dual desktop monitor setup (2 x BenQ GW2470H) and my one TV (1 x Sony Bravia 40') - all of which uses HDMI ports. Any other recommendations are welcomed, too!

 

I've also considered adapters for the other ports (DP, etc.) but for some reason the BenQ monitors I have doesn't seem to detect any input from a HDMI-to-DP adapter cable I had bought.

what about DP-HDMI adapter to the TV instead of the monitor and see how that works? Then use HDMI-HDMI like normal for the BENQ monitor
