Sure your 770 should work with DVI, are you using a straight through cable to a DVI monitor. What connections are you using?

I'm not sure why your DVI connectors are not working, I assume that cdmi means HDMI, if HDMi is the only one configured to your display then the other ports are not supported. This means that the native framebuffer is not working with your other ports i.e the DVI ports. You have 4 ports on your 770, is the 4th a Display port?

now i left it connected to dvi it worked but when i browse the safari it opens very slow like frame after frame do i need a special driver for it ? I'm booting with these flags GraphicsEnabler=No , npci=0x2000, -x

This will be because you are booting in safe mode (-x). It doesn't have any graphics acceleration. What happens when you leave out -x and use -v

This is maybe something you have to fiddle with either in your monitor settings or your in system preferences>displays. Check your sharpness setting on your monitor. You might want to bring it down.
