I upgraded my GFX card to a R9 290x (MSI Lightning) which says plain as day that it has two DVI-D ports. Went to hook everything up and low and behold my monitor plug won't fit (It's VGA with a VGA to DVI-D adapter on the end)
I thought that maybe it was because my adapter was old and that maybe there was a new type of DVI-D plug... but alas no. Looking on New Egg I can only find one VGA to DVI-D cable that looks like it might fit. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812226071 - I already tried 3 VGA to DVI-D adapters I had lying around and none of them fit...
Can anyone explain why there are at least two different kinds of DVI-D plugs, and confirm if that adapter will fit my R9 290x?
