Hi

Just got my new card, fitted and installed without problems. Was just wondering I got 2 Dvi ports which are side by side. Just used the yellow coloured one is that ok?

Thanks
 
Well one will be DVI-D and the other DVI-I so your cable will only fit one depending on your monitor type.

Both are Dual Link.

The bracket normally has a 1 and a 2 stamped on it.
 
As jh30uk, the yellow is a DVI-I port, so will accept either a DVI-DVI, DVI-HDMI or DVI-VGA cable/adapter. The white/grey one is a DVI-D port, so won't ouput a VGA signal - only DVI and HDMI from that one. So long as you're not using VGA, doesn't matter which connector you use.
