I have a video card with one DVI-I single and one DVI-I dual link ports. Monitor has DVI-D and a VGA port. Will these cables work?? I tried a DVI-D c

Yes I'm pretty sure. Just google it to confirm. This is to connect one dvi-d male port to another. For example my external monitor to my laptop.

Hello from Ecomade Arena.DVI-I is 2 type.DVI-I Single linkb(18pins) and DVI-I Dual link. (24pins)http://www.overclock.net/image/id/4079839Here is the difference.DVI-dual link should be supported and connected.Thank you.

Depends on the monitors you want to connect. But i recommend DVI + DVI or DVI + DisplayPort.

It likely will NOT work because it is an adapter versus the actual cable. It has been my experience that adapters are hit or miss propositions and mostly misses. By contrast, however, if you buy a VGA to DVI cable, that setup will work. The cable is only about $2:00 more than the adapter so it is well worth your while to buy the cable. The cable has a VGA plug on one end and a DVI cable on the other end They are designed for the purpose you have just described and typically they work. The adapters, by contrast, are very unreliable. They may work and then, again, they may not.

What do you mean by 'a splitter'? If you mean having 2 connections off the DVI connection, then no. If you just mean use a DVI>VGA adapter, so 1 monitor plugged into VGA port and another plugged into the adapter on the DVI, then yes.If you have 2 DVI only monitors, you should be able to use the DVI port for one and use a DVI>HDMI cable to use the HDMI port for the other.

The monitor is DVI-D. I'm not sure what the difference is between single and dual links, but the description of the cable I use says it's dual link and it works great. Hopefully this helps. This is the cable I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003OBXHPC

Yes, as long as you have the dvi out on your computer and the display port out on your computer, then you will be able to do the dual monitors this way. I currently have a dell with a vga out and a hdmi out. I have one monitor go to the vga and the other to the hdmi. This is nice that it works this way because most newer computers now come built with multiple video outs. Which means you don't have to spend the extra dollars getting a high performance video card with dual adapters.

DVI-D is digital and will not work if you have and old analog monitor but will if you have and LCD monitor ( flat screen thats HD ) some of the old LCDs are analog.DVI-D is digital only as per the 'D'. DVI-I is integrated as per the 'I' If you look at the DVI-I connnector, it has 4 pins around the flat blade looking pin. Those 4 pins are the analog signal. DVI-D connector is missing those pins so a simple adapter will not work as the analog signal is missing. The signal converter will most likely cost more than a HD LCD monitor. Hope this helps.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

No, I only use DVI and VGA...both work fine...sorry I can't be of more help.

yes, I can confirm as well. One DVI port, one VGA port. I am using both in a triple monitor setup (with one being the laptop screen).

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 - See link below http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/221

A monitor simply displays an image. If your tower, no matter the brand or model has a video output that this monitor does, then it will work. It's been years sicne I've ha this, but I remember it having an HDMI, VGA and DVI-D port. So if your video card, or motherboard if using on board graphics has one of those connections, you're good to go.

You would need to get either two DVI to VGA adapters or two DVI to VGA cables. Or better yet, two monitors with DVI inputs.

Tom - you'd have to connect each PC to BOTH ports, a DVI and VGA. For example, my Dell laptop docking stations all have both DVI and VGA outputs, so I can switch back and forth between my two laptops and each gets both monitors. Pretty sure that if you just connect the DVI jack to your computer you will only have one monitor, not two.

If I understand the question correctly, I do not know for sure if it will work. I connected a VGA monitor to a newer dvi-d port and it worked great! The first thing to confirm would be the connections (male vs female)
