Using two seperate monitors

The GPU I am going to get is a Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GAMING ACX 3.0

 

This GPU has 1 HDMI, 1 DVI and 3 Display ports. Can I use the HDMI port to connect to my ASUS VG248QE and the Display Port to output to another ASUS VG248QE. Or does it have to be the same display output?

 

Im not sure if I phrased this right. Ask question if you have any.

@TheNight So you looking to output a display to both ASUS montiors, one using HDMI and the other using the Display port it i got that right.

 

I don't see any problems with it as i have 3 displays (one connected to integrated graphics) but the other two is connected using HDMI and VGA. So i i don't think it should be a problem 

Some people prefer a challenge, I just band my head against a wall until my method works...

Yes, you can use different outputs just fine. I personally run 4 monitors off HDMI, 2x DVI and 1x DisplayPort just fine. 

Thanks!

You can, but the VG248QE only supports up to 60 Hz over HDMI.
