I recently purchased this monitor: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3309...

I have this video card: http://us.msi.com/product/vga/R7870-Twin-Frozr-2GD5-OC....

I plan to use the single DVI port on the video card for a separate 2560x1440 monitor, so I need an HDMI to DVI-D Dual Link cable that will support 2560x1440 resolution. Can anyone recommend one that will work?

It won't work because HDMI doesn't have enough bandwidth to power 2560x1440.

HDMI 1.4 is SUPPOSED to have the bandwidth for 2560x1440.

Ok you will be able to run the monitor via HDMI 1.4 cable but you will face problems for sure as 1440p displays are not really intended to run via HDMI. Even if you find a HDMI to DVI-D adapter, it will only make matters worst. You shoulda bought a GPU that has 2 DVI ports if you plan to run dual 1440p displays in the first place.
