Assistance Regarding HDMI Ports

Good day VR peoples!

I am having some potential issues.
See I only have two technical HDMI ports. (One on video card, and the other with a DVI)

I'm going to be needing three at least. (One for Vive one for Rift, one for Monitor)

Any suggestions or ideas to get three?
As I considered two video cards, but I heard that may be less than suitable for a VR experience.

    What video card do you have? Most of the newer models have at least 3 simultaneous outputs.

    Right now I have a 960 GTX.
    Though i'm concerned for down the line.
    As the GTX 980 TI seems to only have one HDMI port.

    You can use the DisplayPort outputs for your monitor (may need an adapter if your monitor doesn't support DP).

    HDMI and DVI are basically the same, so either should work fine with an adapter as well.
