Why is this 18-pin? My monitor's DVI port is 24-pin.

Not 100% sure, but it might be because there are different kinds of DVI. This worked well for me with a DVI-D connection, but DVI-A and DVI-I also both exist. That's just my guess though.

This is only a DVI-D Single-Link cable. The dual link cable can carry higher resolutions and more data due to their higher throughput. If your monitor is not more than 1080p (1920x1080) or WUXGA (1920x1200) @ 60Hz or less, this will work fine. If you are trying to use a 2K, qHD, or 4K monitor, then you will have to use either a Display port or at least the dual-link version of the DVI. Either that or deal with something like 17FPS.

A DVI-D connector on a graphics card sends out a digital signal only, while a DVI-I connector, which carries both an analog and digital signal, can send out a digital signal (for digital displays such as flat panel LCD monitors) as well as analog signal (for older displays such as a CRT monitor) using a DVI to VGA adaptor. DVI-I connectors contains more pins than the DVI-D connector. The extra pins on a DVI-I connector carry the analog signal which the DVI-D connector does not have. If you only plan to use a LCD or such type of screen either cable will work. MOSTLY all screens support full DVI-I/D connections for easy compatibility. You just can't plug a DVI-I cable into a DVI-D slot. The four extra pins would get crushed. Good view of ports http://cdn.overclock.net/4/47/500x1000px-LL-4715188d_13611i85823D50731521FC.gif About DVI-D Dual and Single Link: So what does dual link actually mean? "Dual Link" DVI use two TMDS digital signal transmitters and 8 wires to send data, while "single link" uses one TMDS digital signal transmitter and 4 wires. The Dual link DVI effectively doubles the power of transmission and provides an increase of refresh rates and signal quality. Specifically a DVI single link 60-Hz LCD can display a resolution of 1920 x 1200, while a DVI dual link 60-Hz LCD can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600. If you look at the plug-ends of a single "dual link" cable, you see it actually has more pins packed in than standard single link DVI cables (18 vs 24 pins). In this case, more pins and wires in the cable translates to more bandwidth. Where this becomes slightly confusing is that on most of the current FireGL accelerators you will see two Dual Link DVI outputs. This means you can drive two high resolutions monitors, each up to 2560 x 1600.

You may be speaking of the difference between DVI-i and DVI-d. One carries digital AND analogue (i), the other (d), carries only the newer digital signal and so fewer pins. This would make sense as the monitor already has a separate analogue port (VGA).

Mine only has 15 pin VGA. Awesome tower that only keeps going UP in price. 7 Pro loaded with 8 on DVD

Per Dell (check their website), it is 240-pin. If you are to buy an upgrade, check with the manufacturer (Dell or memory maker) for compatibility with your specific Dell computer.

This is intended to be used plugging the DVI into your monitor and the displayport into your videocard

One port, the other is a dvi port which you can buy an hdmi to dvi adapter to make it work.

It has a DVI-I dual link port (24 pin + 5 pin female connector), and an HDMI port (19 pin female). I believe that means that it does both DVI-D and DVI-A.

Via VGA. It's the same connection your present monitor is probably already using.

You have the option to get one or two display port to display port cables as long ad your monitor supports the display port type. Otherwise get a DVI to display port adapter for a DVI cable. You will only need on of these as there is already a single DVI port on the card. Display port is preferred. If you want what came in the box then get the adapter but is recommend sticking with display from your monitor to the comp.

There could be many reasons, but the wrong cable/adapter could sure be one. Are you sure you have a dual link cable or adapter?If you're using the little adapter, then yes, this will fix your problem. It's pricey and eats up a USB port, but it's the only want to run a large monitor.

I'm not sure. I haven't used it for that purpose. Mine connects straight to DVI.

the video output is a 15 pin vga port for a standard monitor or some televisions. sorry for the caps, the key is stuck.

Yes but make sure the DVI you have is a DVI-D. Looking directly at the DVI end there should only be one wider pin in the center to the right.

The photo is correct. Many Display Port converters are used to connect the display port to a DVI cable, which is then hooked to the monitor, and those have the DVI end you are describing. Since this has a cable already, the end is designed to hook directly up to the DVI port on the monitor, and no additional cable is needed. I just installed one of these, and the cable appears to be high quality. I plugged the display port end directly into the video card and the DVI end directly to the monitor. Worked like a charm!

Which docking station do you have? If it's the PR02X, then it already has two DVI ports.
1148025
yea, it has 4 display ports and 2 dvi. Should be no problem. Unless u looking to game on all those screens, then u might need to look at other options.

sure sounds like you need something to convert from 9 to 15 pin. just make sure if there sides are male or female. coming off the computer is a femaie so you would need a male 9 pin and a female 15 pin to connect to the monitor.double check this before ordering good luck
