Gtx 1060 on 4 displays. need assistance.

!!!Damage!!!

So I just recently got a new PC. I'm in the final phase of everything being set up but now i ran into a minor issue.

So Im trying to get the GTX to run across 4 screens. the GTX 1060 has 5 ports, 3 displayports, 1 DVI, and and HDMI out

I have one cable thats active display, one for hdmi and one for DVI

To make all 4 Tvs work do i need another active cable or a passive one? i just wanna know which one i should order in the mail.

You don't need any active adapters, you can use any combination of whatever you want.

Are you sure? I had a similar problem with the old computer and someone told me i can use whatever for the first 2, then anymore than that required displayports.

I can just buy a passive cable and it will work? (they're usually cheaper)
