I don't think any card of the 20xx series have DVI ports.
You can get adaptors for like 15 bucks if you need dvi.
I think that two passive adaptors should be just fine.

I would imagine that this adapter would work for you, but I am unsure. Unfortunately, getting ripped off for these types of adapter is pretty common.

Then get a single adapter. like [this one.] (https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-Video-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0017K6BD2)
In that case, what I suggest doing is adapting the HDMI port or the DisplayPort port to DVI, for use with you main monitor and adapting the DVI port on the graphics card to VGA, for use with the other monitor.
It looks, from the Amazon page, that this card comes with a DVI to VGA adapter, which is handy.
So you want something like this (this may require an extra little bit of research so if you could tell me what the exact model of your main monitor is or take a picture of the outputs, that would be great) and also use the adapter that comes in the box with the graphics card for the secondary monitor.
If you really need it but DP is the future.

this should work for you
Thanks, I see now it does have a display port, I must have missed that. The monitor I was looking at for BF only has VGA/DVI so could I do some sort of adapter like DVI to Display Port or would I lose quality?
I found this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-DVI-Adapter-Passive/dp/B0017K6BD2
I think so. Are they DP++? That means that at the electronics level they actually are capable of producing the signals in the DVI format. If so you can just use a passive adapter like this one, and it will work perfectly with no drawbacks or added latency whatsoever.

Yep -- I googled shortly after commenting and found the same thing. But this would work, right?

If your monitor doesn't support display port you will need to buy an adapter that converts display port to DVI.
