Help please! Which cables should i get for my setup?

[Colin_53]

Hi all,

Just bought a whole new setup and am wanting to ask you guys which cables to buy for my monitors.

GPU is a Gigabyte Windforce Geforce GTX1060 6GB....
I have 2 screens and they are both the Dell U2515h (2560x1440)

Problem is:

GPU allows 2x DVI-d ports, 1x display port and 1x hdmi
Each monitors have Display port, mini display port and hdmi.

How should i connect it for the best results? I need the 2560x1440 for both screens hence the big investment. And, each montior only came with a mini display port to display port cable.

Any comments are much appreciated and thanks a lot!

Can you return the gigabyte for another model that has 2 or more Display ports?
Otherwise I would get a dvi-d to mini-display port cable.

monitor 1 = displayport > displayport straight

monitor 2 = dvi-d > displayport adapter ( make sure it is dual link capable )


easiest would be to return the current card and buy a 1060 with two displayports
