Daisy-Chaining using DisplayPort

I've never entertained the idea of having multiple monitors but now I would like to. I currently have the Dell U2412m connected to a GTX 680 via DisplayPort.

The GPU has one DisplayPort and one HDMI port. The monitor only has a DisplayPort and a DVI connection.

How would I implement the Daisy-Chaining if I would purchase another Dell U212m? A Google search came up surprisingly empty.

Thanks for the help.
 
You can only daisy chain if you have a display with the feature. The u2412m doesn't have it. You can however, run a second u2412m off of the HDMI port using a simple HDMI to DVI cable.

Also, doesn't the 680 natively have at least two dvi ports?

I'm not big on DVI. DisplayPOrt or HDMI would be preferable.

You realize that DVI is virtually identical to HDMI, right? Saying you don't like DVI is like saying you don't like HDMI either.
 
Absolutely, let me clarify. I don't like the actual form factor of the cable connector. I love how HDMI and Display Port just plug in without screws, not to mention how much smaller they are.
