I ordered the EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) and a Dell UltraSharp U3011 monitor. The GTX 580 has two DVI-I ports and one mini-HDMI port. The monitor has two HDMI, two DVI-D, one DP and one VGA.
Is it best to hook the monitor to the PCI using HDMI or DVI, or does it not mattery? Will they both allow for the sam maximum resolution of the monitor?
I apologize if this is a silly question or if it has already been answered.
Thank you.

Not sure why microterf says my card doesn't have dual link. Below are what the specs say:
GTX 580:
One mini HDMI
Two Dual Link DVI-I HDCP Capable Connectors
Max Resolution 2560 x 1600
Dell UltraSharp U3011
One Display Port
Two HDMI 1.3 connectors
Two DVI-D Dual Link connectors
Max Resolution 2560 x 1600
The monitor came with a VGA, DVI and Display Port cable. I believe the cable is dual link. The cable does fit in both the monitor DVI sockets and the GTX-580 socket. So I assume if I use this DVI cable to connect both I should be able to use monitor at maximum resolution?
Here is a quick pic I put together:

Oh ok, my apologies. Thank you.My fault, not very good at using commas to separate statements.
Do you have the stuff yet, hook it up? I was about to cry when I got my U3011, I hooked it up, got a bunch of flashing pixels all over. I thought I was gonna have to RMA
it, but it turned out to be the DVI cable. It was just bad. Luckily when I ordered my 3008wfp I ordered a second Dual Link DVI cable because I wasn't sure if it came with one or not. When I hooked that one up, it worked perfectly, you should love it.

if you can't answer this question yourself then you do not deserve a gtx 580, return it immediately... Rich kids these days...I mean its really nessessary to have two ssds and 2 blurays drives what a joke and waste of money.I'm going to just assume that was written in a drunken bitter rage...
Remember a couple things. I don't care if anyone here has their MCSE, CCNA, A+, or whatever. The forums are here to get help and answer others questions.
We all started somewhere. There is no reason to flame someone for asking a question. If you don't like the question, or refuse to answer even if you can, fine. Just don't post then...

Yes I will be using my computer to play solitaire as well. I just wanted to make sure solitaire was really fast.
I'm not rich, and I'm not a kid. Just been saving a long time and like to get the best I can so it lasts the longest. I thought things out and have resons for all the parts I chose. Maybe I didn't make the best or most cost effective choices but I am satisfied with the decisions I made. I did research and posted questions on other forums for help. I was just a little confused about single and dual link DVI and the resolution that HDMI provides. I did compare specs and resolution of the video card and monitor to make sure they matched so I was pretty sure they were compatible. But that doesn't mean I may get confused at some things or ask a silly question sometime. Thanks for the help.

Yeah sorry, no disrespect. Good luck to you, there is no doubt you will have one killer machine when its all said and done. I would have very little doubts in the gtx 580s capabilities, especially since it will be paired with an ample and powerful system with high quality components at its core. Whenever you go for the top of the line you should never be disappointed, and in your case I'm sure your new build will soar.
