Question about DVI-I
The Nvidia card (BFG 7800 GS OC 256) has a DVI-I connector and a 15 pin D
connector. I want to use the DVI-I connector on the video card, but I can't find a monitor with a DVI-I connector. I hope that I don't have to spend a ton of $$$ to get one with DVI-I. All the ones I find have DVI-D connectors. I guess I am asking what is a good monitor that has DVI-I that is not really expensive or can the video card work with the DVI-D connector? Thanks in advance *_*

I hope that I don't have to spend a ton of $$$ to get one with DVI-I. All the ones I find have DVI-D connectors. DVI-I == Both digital & analogue signals DVI-D == Digital only. See here for a description of the cable differences: http://www.lindy.com.au/tips/Digital..._Explained.htm Take a look at Viewsonic. I have a VP2030B (not cheap but a GREAT monitor) which has a DVI-I connector. I guess I am asking what is a good monitor that has DVI-I that is not really expensive or can the video card work with the DVI-D connector? Yes. The monitor & card will work with a DVI-D cable ... in fact it may work even better because there is no analogue signal to confuse the monitor. I replaced the supplied DVI-I cable on the VP2030B with a dual link DVI-D cable. You will only *need* a single link DVI-x cable, however, the VP2030B & most LCD monitors support dual link. I didn't check but the BFG 7800 GS will almost certainly support dual link ... if the doco states that the card supports 24-pin DVI that means dual link (18-pin is single link ... see the above link for more details). Cheers Bazza...
