I have a GeForce 1070ti graphics card and it only has one dvi port but I want to set up a dual monitor. How do I hook up a second monitor?

You'll need an appropriate adapter to connect your monitor to your GPU.

For example, I have three monitors, they only have DVI and HDMI ports on them. My 980Ti has 1 DVI, 1 HDMI and 2 DP ports. One of my monitors I picked up a HDMI to DP adapter ( https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119557 ) so I can connect it to my GPU. My other two monitors; 1 connects to the DVI port and 1 connects to the HDMI port.

In your situation, you'll need a DVI to DP adapter to connect your second monitor to the GPU.
