DVI compatability

[ice024]

I currently have a bfg 6800gt oc it has a DVI-I dual link and the monitor i have on order (Viewsonic VP912B) has a DVI-D is this a problem? If it is a problem what can i do to fix it?

DVI-D + DVI-A = DVI-I

You're fine.

yeah this is true. Single link will have half the pins thats the difference between single and double. One of the DVI configuarations has a cross on the side and one is a horizontal pin. DVI-D and DVI-A respectively. DVI-I is pretty much the universal adapter that will accept both.

You do not have a dual link GeForce....Well, unless you just bought a Mac.
