Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort

[FredBasset]

Guys, sorry this is a bit of a dumb question but I'm just about to push the button on a Sapphire 5970 and one of their active dp to dvi adapters from Overclockers.

I know the 5970 is a mini display port and the adapter is a normal displayport, can anyone recommend which cable to use between the two?

Thanks
Fred

Any regular mini dp to dp cable id imagine would work fine.

you get one free with the sapphire card, not sure about the rest

I'd like to be able to use DisplayPort but when I use the mini-DisplayPort adapter that came with my 5970 I get flickering, which makes it unusable. I have a Dell U2410, which has a native DisplayPort socket, so I don't understand why it doesn't work. It seems stupid to have to buy an active adapter, especially when they're so expensive.

mine did that till i really pushed the connector in hard to the monitor, give that a try
