I just received the GTX 1080 card (08G-P4-6180-KR) and installed. It is working quite well with my LG 4K monitor using the HDMI interface. I have ordered another HDMI monitor but just realized my card only has one HDMI port. The graphics card has 3 additional Display ports and a DVI-D port.
 
How or what do I use to connect another HDMI monitor? Or, what interfaces with the Display ports?
 
Thanks,
 
Merle

    For 4K 60Hz resolutions, you need an ACTIVE adapter or you won't be able to get 4K 60Hz.

    You'll need to buy a displayport to hdmi adapter. I'd recommend this one.
