Dual Monitor with RTX 3070

[drake324]

Hey guys,

I just switched from a gtx 980 to an rtx 3070. I have a dual monitor setup(One DP input, one DVI). I bought a HDMI to DVI adapter to still be able to use my older monitor as a secondary.

But it seems my 3070 cannot output to it. When I check my display settings it recognizes my second monitor but tells me it "isn't active"(When I connect the monitor to my laptop with the same cable it works).

Is there a fix to it or do I simply have to buy a new monitor for my new graphics card?

Is it Dual Link DVI-A, DVI-D or DVI-I?

DVI-A will not work with 3070, DVI-I in theory should but I don't know for sure, DVI-D should work.

It's DVI-D(Dual link).

how much was this adapter and what was the brand? Can't always be sure with cheap clunky adapters

It was 8$ by Link2Go (https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/link2go-hdmi-to-dvi-5-cm-notebook-adapters-5741426?supplier=406802).

I doubt that is the issue though if it works when I plug it into my Laptop:(
