Hi,

I am looking at getting the 7600 GT, but have a question about the DVI socket.

On the GT it has Dual Link DVI-I socket, but the monitor I am getting comes with a DVI-D, will it still all work ok, or will I need a new lead or something ?

DVI-D will only transmit digital to digital with no conversion DVI-I are capable of carrying a digital or analogue signal so in theory if the screen is digital and the card can do both(which it can you will get an analogue converter for older screens)then your fine

Detailed discussion on DVI-D & DVI-I here and here. Short answer is yes, with a DVI-D cable.

Hi,
Thanks for the link, will read them in a bit.

So if I got the GT and connected it with a DVI-D lead to a Sony TFT monitor, would it be better graphics than what I am getting with my CRT (VGA 15 pin) connection on to a GeForce FX5200 (256mb) ?

Thank you for all your help
