This card has one HDMI, one DisplyPort, and one DVI port. You can buy a DVI-to-VGA adapter and a DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter separately to run in clone or extended mode. Or, buy a DVI-to-Dual VGA to run in clone only mode.

Question 6

Does it actually have "3 x DisplayPort 1.4" connectors?  The photos don't look like that.

Accepted Answer

Starting with DisplayPort 1.2, you can daisy chain monitors (some monitors have an input AND output) using Multi-Stream Technology (MST). I think they're trying to convey that this card supports up to 3 monitors on the one DisplayPort. If your monitors do not have output DisplayPorts to daisy chain from, you'll need an adapter.
