Okey dokey guys,
Taken receipt of my 5770 today and it's a beast. However can someone confirm how I need to connect it to my DVI LCD monitor. Do I just need a DVI cable, or two DVI adapters...
The card came with an adapter, but I'd like someone to confirm what each is (DVI-I, DVI-D?) as it's rather confusing hehe.
If anyone has a link to a guide or pics that would be great.
Cheers.
/a tad confused.

OK, the 5770 has a DVI-I connector and the LCD monitor also has a DVI-I connector, therefore I assume I require one DVI-I to DVI-I cable?
But then is that a Single link or Dual link...argh hehe.
Could someone link me compatible cables?

After 6 hours of research I believe I need a DVI-I (Single or Dual) to plug into the 5770 and a DVI-D (single or dual) to plug into the monitor.
I've got it working on the LCD now, after using the CRT to install the drivers. But at present it's running VGA > DVI-I Dual link adapter from the 5770 to VGA on the LCD. I'll pop and see how much a cable is tomorrow
