I recently purchased and installed the Radeon R9 280X, I have two displays and one get signal.
I have one monitor connected using VGA cable to DL-DVI-I with Adapter. The card specifications says 1 x DL-DVI-I and 1 x SL-DVI-D. Visually these slots look the same. I have an adapter for second port on video card, but plugging it in the vga slot on monitor there is no signal. Both monitors have VGA and DVI - D (dual link).

I had read elsewhere I need a DVI cable to both DVI ports.

Not sure why assets for PC is not standardized.

Thanks
