Monitors, displayport and mini displayport connections

[Javno]

Hi all,

I want to buy a HIS HD 7850 and connect it to my Samsung S27B970D. The ghx card has mini displayports but the monitor only has a "normal" displayport.

If I buy a "mini displayport to displayport cable" will that be the best option? I.e. would I get max resolution (without scaling issues that can happen with HDMI), and max Hz?

I don't want to spend this kind of money and then bottleneck myself by ignorance, so advice would be appreciated!

A dual link DVI cable (supplied with the monitor) will work fine.

You can also use a miniDP to DP cable or adapter and also get the full resolution.

One of these for example: OcUK Value Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable 2m
