Apple 30" Cinema DVI

[lopri]

Compatible with 6800GT? nVidia site says its max res = 2048x1536, which should fit 30" Apple monitor. But I remember reading somewhere here the max res (2048x1536) is when connected to VGA.

Just curious. I'm kinda bored with my 213T now.

Nope.

It requires a DDL DVI connection.

I think you can do it with a Quadro FX 3400+.

 

[darkswordsman17]

I think the max res. for the standard DVI is 1920x1200, and you need a dual-link or something (whatever DDL stands for) capable card.

yup you need a dual-dvi, and the thing is freaking sweet. Saw it at a Mac store running Finding Nemo, very impressive.

No, you need a special type of dual-DVI. There is little to no info on what, if any, consumer cards have support for it (AFAIK...).

 

[James3shin]

my bad you are correct, its the DDL as posted above by darkswordsman...NV makes a 68Ultra with it, able to support the 30" beauty.

 

[Cerb]

And a GT, but what about for the PC folks who might want to use one?

 

[James3shin]

haven't heard of any PC support for that bad boy, if your looking to get one Cerb, you should try contacting apple. Im sure apple would do what they can do get the 30" in your hands and cash in theres

the pc folk are out of luck on this screen.
if you want to use that screen, you need to get a mac, then get the video card, and then you can drop a few $k for the 30" display.

 

[Cerb]

Yeah...
I'm trying to save for a $200+ MP3 player...I'll pass on the $3k display for now, thanks .

This guy has an Apple 30'' display on his PC.

 

[lament]

same thread as the guy above you.

 

[imported_Lucifer]

He first linked it to the forums, but he edited his post to show the thread.

i see..i guess the quadro can handle the beast made from apples.

the mac x800 version will be capable of driveing 2 of those 30 inchers.

also its 2560 x 1600 not 2048x1536, more that twice as many pixels as 1600x1200. any card can drive it just not hit native res. I wonder if an SLI Nvidia setup could do it?
