Hi all.

 

I've ordered myself a new Monitor from Amazon. It's a 1080p 27inch 144hz Asus brand Monitor which has a Dual-Link DVI-D that I want to use to get that full 144hz @ 1080p. However, my graphics card has its Dual-Link DVI-I port. I know Dual-Link DVI-I cables aren't compatible with Dual-Link DVI-D ports because of the 4 prongs, what I am wondering is can I take a Dual-Link DVI-D cable, plug it into the monitor through its Dual-Link DVI-D port and the other end into the Dual-Link DVI-I port on my graphics card and have that work with no problems giving me 144hz at 1080p? 

 

I'm having different people tell me different things with this, 50% of people telling me it'll work and be no problem, but the other 50% are telling me it wont work.

 

(DisplayPort isn't an option without using adapters).

 

TLDR - Are Dual-Link DVI-D cables compatible with Dual-Link DVI-I ports on Graphics Cards?

 

Thanks.
