I see that my computer Vanquish has like 3 DVI ports in the back. One that goes vertical (topmost), and two horizontal (two bottom).
My question is, does it matter which port I connect to? Does one port give better performance than the other? |

Yes it does matter.
The one topmost, vertical, is not the GPU but the mobo. Do NOT plug your monitor into that one. The other two are fine, either or, and if you get a second monitor, that's where it goes.

i assume you have two graphics cards in sli? make sure you plug it into whichever card is sitting in the primary pcie x16 slot and then make sure in your Nvida (or AMD) control panel that your primary monitor is aligned to the same card.
