I have a three screen setup with piecemeal monitors I’ve collected, and each uses a different cable type. Had to get an adapter for one (I think display port to vga, I forget now) to make it work with one video card. But it works great.

I’ve had similar issues with other things. Wife finally convinced me to throw something out (can’t even recall what) and a few weeks later we needed it. I just looked at her, and she said “don’t even say it”.
