Having issues connecting one (actually any) of the dvi outputs from my 2x 8800gtx rig to displayport on my monitor. I've tried a couple of different cables from dvi to displayport, but to no avail. Any hints? Thanks.

Soooooo, tried DVI to DisplayPort cable. Right - Didn't work. DVI to HDMI cable. Right - Didn't work.
After reading the above, DVI to DisplayPort Active Adapter. Yep - Still doesn't work.

I'm at a loss. This shouldn't be rocket science, and yet, it seems to be headed that way.

Any other ideas?

To be honest, I couldn't find any DVI-to-DP-adapter, Are you sure, you don't use a dp-to-dvi-adpater the wrong way?

Are you sure its an issue with dvi- displayport?

Have you tried it on a DVI monitor just to check its working?
