You know whats better than hardware questions? MOAR hardware questions.

So apparently i got the version of the gtx 570 that is 2 side by side DVIs and one 'mini' HDMI output, twice.

So in both of the 570's I have, neither one of them has the configuration of 2 stacked DVI outputs, with an HDMI and HDMI Mini output next to them.

I'm trying to hook up my TV to the computer (to be used in conjunction from my bed with a wireless mouse, awesome idea I saw at a superbowl party).

Since I'm about to get another monitor, what is the optimum setup for all 3 of these displays? The TV i don't want running must of the time, just for youtube and video streaming. Not when gaming.\

Also, can I just get a mini HDMI => normal HDMI converter with no problems?

As always, Thanks again!

The 2nd GTX 570 came with a mini hdmi=> full size converter(fell out when i was looking for something else), saved me a few bucks, and it works great, so i answered my own question there. For the monitors, which card should I plug the 2nd monitor into?

For the 2nd DVI monitor? You will plug it into the 2nd port on the 1st card, so both computer monitors are actually on the 1st card.
