I've only had 1 motherboard , 1 video card , and a broken case panel in over 15 years of building.

I've spent thousands on Newegg and FROZEN CPU.

The 4 pins around that flat "blade" on the DVI cable is the analog signal. There is a rare spec called DVI-A which uses only them. DVI-D is digital only and lacks the 4 pins. DVI-I has both the digital and analog pins.

I didn't follow your links, but that's the info you asked about. If SR says the cable he linked works, then get that.

Ok I'm sorry for sounding like a retard lol but the DVI CABLE

HAS 4 EXTRA Pins around the slot thing what is that the dvi cable you listed doesnt have that
