Extremely confused now about Dual DVI-I and Dual DVI-D.
I also have a GTX 670, and regardless of model you have, they all have 2 DVI-D ports, explanation below.
Your GPU will work just fine. DVI-I is interlaced DVI which means it can be used for digital or analog display. The connector is the same as DVI-D, but also has 4 pins around the single slot shaped pin. DVI-D is digital only, and is physically the same, except missing the analog 4 pins. a DVI-D cable will work in a DVI-I connector, but not the other way around. On your card, the DVI-D is the top DVI connector and the DVI-I is the bottom one next to the HDMI connector.
@Sheldon_King DVI-I means 'Integrated' not interlaced, it means that you can achieve analog or digital output from the port.
@DeViLzzz I can tell you that a GTX 670 has 2 DVI-D ports, and one of them can also function as a DVI-I.
You need not worry, your card can support the displays just fine.
One thing to be aware of, DVI-D (dual link) cables are different to DVI (single link), the connector is the same but the bandwidth specification and also the pin configuration is different. All DVI-D (dual link) and DVI (single link) cables and monitors can plug into and DVI-D socket.
Almost certainly your monitor will come with the appropriate DVI-D cable, a DVI-D display is 100% compatible with your card.
The term Dual Link can be confusing because it can imply you need 2 cables, this is not the case.
