HOW DO I KNOW WHICH CABLE TO USE?
Determining which type of DVI cable to use for your products is critical in getting the right cable the first time. Check both of the female DVI plugs to determine what signals they are compatible with.
If one or both connections are DVI-D, you need a DVI-D cable.
If one or both connections are DVI-A, you need a DVI-A cable.
If one connection is DVI and the other is VGA, and the DVI is analog-compatible, you need a DVI to VGA cable or a DVI/VGA adaptor.
If both connections are DVI-I, you may use any DVI cable, but a DVI-I cable is recommended.
If one connection is analog and the other connection is digital, there is no way to connect them with a single cable. You'll have to use an electronic converter box, such as our analog VGA to digital DVI/HDMI converter.
If you still have questions, look at our DVI cable guide for an easy-to-use chart to help you find the right cable for you.

You may be able to use the DVI-I output on your card, since it's the only one that has the four pins surrounding the blade, but might not work in some cases. DVI-D will not work at all with a DVI-A cable, as there is no place for the four pins to go.
