This is kind of a noobish question but here goes:
I don't game much these days and mainly use my computer for photo/video work and have always had dual monitors. My old GTX 660 needs replacing and I see that no new video cards use dual-DVI output connectors anymore. For a new card, I assume I would need to connect monitor 1 to the DVI connector, and monitor 2 to a DisplayPort connector, right? My question here is, will using different ports for each monitor affect the color calibration I have with software and/or the monitors? I don't know much about DisplayPort but it was my understanding that it's backward compatible with DVI, however I am not positive.
I'd really appreciate any help with that. Thanks everyone.
