[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1536512, member: 24160"] You would only ever possibly need that $100 cable if you need to connect [B]"from"[/B] mini displayport (MDP) [B]"to"[/B] DVI. Don''t do that. That cable is for connecting to older monitors that do not have a displayport (DP) from a computer that does not have DVI. Adapters are only required when the 2 devices you want to connect have different types of ports. This is not the case here. You have both DP and DVI on your card and on the monitor. You will use the same connection at both ends... DP to DP or DVI to DVI... Use either of the following: a) MDP to DP cable (or adapter since the monitor comes with a DP cable) b) dual link DVI cable (which is included with the monitor) Your video card supports up to 3 monitors running at up to 2560x1600. This is accomplished (easiest) by connecting 2 monitors via MDP to DP and one via dual link DVI [/QUOTE]
