Hello, I had a question about adapters.. I have a 780ti.. And im looking at getting a Korean 2k monitor which requires Dvi Dual link which my card has. But im using it right now with one of my monitors. The monitor has Vga/Dvi So i was wondering what would be the best choice for adapters? Use HDMI or DisplayPort?


(the Korean monitor only works with DVI dual link)
(the other dvi is taken by my other monitor.)

Why not use the DVId for the korean monitor and the regular DVI on the other monitor?

The display port will give a better picture quality vs the HDMI. Converters are easy to find.

Both dvi ports on the 780ti are dual link. 1 is dual link dvi-i and the other is dual link dvi-d.

On the monitor page it show this pic so the Dvi-d. The dvi-i wont work.

Both output on the 780 are like that. One has an extra four pings, but it's irrelevant. Same as your current monitor.

Would Dvi or Vga give a better picture?

DVI-D will work just fine in a DVI-I port. DVI-I is just DVI-D with VGA support.

DVI, VGA is old analog signal.

Depends on the monitor. Some it doesn't matter, some look better with vga(usually older ones), and some look better with DVI. Usually I just stick with a digital signal like DVI, HDMI, or Displayport.

For 3 DVI monitors use the 2 dvi ports and then either a ddisplayport to dvi adapter or an hdmi to dvi adapter.
