DP / DVI-D Adapter

[r0otctrl]

I have an old Samsung 2494SW monitor, which is 1080p at 60Hz and has a DVI-D and VGA port.

 

I am going to upgrading to an RTX 2060 which only has one DP and four HDMI ports, so I need to use a DP/DVI-D adapter.

 

Will this connector work?

 

A DVI-D single link male connector will work in a DVI-D dual link female slot, right? 

 

Thanks

HDMI -> DVI is going to work just fine, and can more easily be repurposed. It's also cheaper. But I'd maybe go with one of the dongle adapters if you already have a DVI cable.

The HDMI port was reserved for my TV, which is only HDMI. I ended up going with a DVI-DP cable. Fuck the cables weren't cheap, especially the ones that I didn't buy on Amazon.
