DVI Connector Forms

[davef_74]

Hello,
Are there two forms of connectors for DVI? Is one called DVI I and the other called DVI II?

There are actually a few different ones.

Theres:

DVI (single link)

DVI (dual link)

DVI D (Single link)

DVI D (Dual link)

DVI A (analog link)

Basically the Dual link one's support much higher resolutions than the single link ones.

lots of info on dvi. Some of the older industry cards like the fire gl, or the quadro used a connector that looked like a dvi but it had a different pinout. This connector was usually used with a dual vga dongle.
