Hey there,

I am far from technically minded. Far from it.

Here's my problem. While buying this is just under a week away for me I've hit a snag. I am sure (not certain) the graphics card has the DVI-I Dual Link connections on it, meaning I am also going to have to get a new Monitor/TV to go along with it. Namely, a Samsung with DVI-D connectivity, while I was sure a DVI to DVI connection would work fine and well, I came across the problem:

The Graphics card is DVI-I (I believe) and according to the specifications of the TV, it only has DVI-D. If I used a Dual Link DVI-D cable to connect the two, would I face any problems? Or would it just not work at all?

Help a clueless guy out, thanks in advance. :) And you also have my apologies if this happens to be in the wrong section or doesn't belong on the forum at all.

EDIT: Sorry for the links. I thought it might have been more helpful. >_<

Will_3rd: Can't say that I have. To be fair I've only just looked into getting a new PC, something with a bit more kick than the horrid laptop I am stuck with at the moment. The main appeal to the Titan system for me is that it's cheaper than paying the same price in high street stores and it's of better quality.

Thanks for your help, too. You've really helped me out quite a fair bit, I was considering scrapping the idea all together last night. Again, thanks a lot. :D
 
Hm, another question.

I can get a hold of a DVI-A (which I believe is the analogue type?) to VGA monitor cable (The TV has a VGA port) and with the Graphics card being dual link DVI-I, would such a cable actually work? Or am I being silly?

Sorry again if I sound completely stupid but I am just looking into my possibilities at the moment. Thanks in advance again.
