Trying to set up 2 displays with new GPU
Just now, RadSalacan said:I had thought that electrically, the video signal of HDMI and DVI were the same. Is that not the casewith dual link? If I were to have gotten an HDMI to DVI adapter would this have been more likely to work? Do you have a suggestion for an adapter to use?
HDMI is based on single-link DVI. It supports higher resolutions by increasing the signaling speed. DVI supports higher resolutions by adding a second set of signaling lines (dual-link) which the single-link HDMI connector does not have pins for.
There are some in the linked in the guide.

You can try the one you already ordered to see if it will happen to work with your monitor first though, since true dual-link adapters are pretty expensive.
