I have just gotten a 2nd hand MSI GTX660 Twin Frozr card, which has

1x HDMI
1x Display Port
2x DVI

I am wanting to connect 3 displays up to this card for a project im doing, (DVI x2 and a HDMI input) but have noticed that im not getting a display from one of the DVI ports, i had swapped the displays around and they only work in this one DVI port, so i know its not the cable or the display itself.

Upon closer inspection of the manual it appears these DVI ports are slightly different, 1 is DVI-D and the other DVI-I!. Should both of these DVI standards be compatible with an bog standard DVI cable or do i need to get a special cable??
 
Hmm, well both Nvidia CP and Windows Display properties doesn't recognise whatever monitor i have plugged into this DVI socket.

Could it be that the 6 series GTX's dont like having 2 digital inputs used at once?, in this case the HDMI and DVI-D ports??
