So, I had never had a nvidia graphics card before, I recently got the GTX 1070 G1 Gaming and I intend to have 3 monitors hooked up to it, not just for gaming, but for general use too. This graphics card has 3 dp ports, 1 hdmi and 1 dvi, and im really confused about what kind of monitors i need to buy, i read that i need to use at least one display port, my idea was to just buy 3 monitors that have displayport, but then, i read that its not as simple as getting 3 displayport cables and hooking them up, so whats the ideal way to setup surround ?

3 displayports ?

one of each (dp/hdmi/dvi)?

do i need monitors that have displayport, or can i get ones that have only hdmi and/or dvi ?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the bad english.
