Recently got a 2070 super, wont register my resolution?

[NicholasNicholasNicholas]

My old 2560x1600 display needed a DP to DVI in order to work, and now that I have got it, nvidia says its native resolution is 1280x800. I cant find a way to fix it and i am unfamiliar with Nvidia drivers. Could someone help me please?
}
It basically looks like 1280x800 with high anti aliasing on a 30' screen... pls help

Could be a crappy DP to DVI adapter that only really wants to register lower resolutions, maybe?

Can near guarantee this

Dual link DVI can handle 2560x1200, but a proper dual link connection requires either a native DVI port or an active adapter (super expensive)

 

Dual link passive adapters simply allow for the pins to fit inside the cable, and carry a single link connection.

Wouldn't say crappy, more likely just the wrong type.

The display port standard does not natively supply a DVI Dual Link signal. Therefore, if you did not go out of your way to get an active dual link adapter, you are currently using a single link adapter with the amount of pins of a dual link cable.
