Dvi question?

[anuraj]

Ok so imagine a graphics card had a div-i port and the monitor had a dvi-d port would I be able to connect them both together succesfully using this one cable: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-127-BE

Well yeah, but the more important factor is why would you spend £13 on a Belkin cable when you can get DVI cables off the bay for a few £?

I don't trust ebay to honest. I don't like auction sites or 2nd hand things.

If you only need a single-link cable - then this one is a bit cheaper (assuming 2m length is enough).

I think everyhting would be dual link. So from what I've read this graphics card:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-088-MS should be able to connect with this monitor:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-033-BQ&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat= with this:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-127-BE

Would you be able to fix the link for the monitor? It just goes to the GPU product page.

links fixed in the post of udnerstanfing stuf.

Cheers.

In that case you don't need a dual link cable. A single link cable is more than sufficient for that monitor (1080p@60Hz). The dual link is nice to have, as it can be used with 1200p@120Hz and 1600p@60Hz screens, but it will add nothing when used with that BenQ.

Ok so only single link.

Just use a DVI-D to DVI-D cable. My card (HD5870) seems to accept any kind of cable so, I'm guessing thats the same for most cards?

Not everything on eBay is an auction or second hand. I've bought loads of cables from an ebay seller/store called "safekom". Good build quality cables for low prices.
