Hello, stupid question I know but I'm really a noob when it comes to monitors.

Long story short I recently bought a new monitor only two types of connections
-DVI D Dual Link
-VGA

I will be getting a RX480 but the reference cards only support
-Displayport
-HDMI

I need to buy a DVI D Dual Link to (Displayport/HDMI) I have a budget of $15-$25 for this cord (preferably 6ft).

Is there any natively compatible cords that can do this without having to worry about "bitrate"?

I would like to buy this cord as soon as possible and I typically don't come here without spending a good deal of time researching the subject myself but the answers are .. Well yes and no from what I've seen. I would like to buy this cord off Amazon.

Which would you recommend out of these two options and do you know of a cord that WILL work for certain?

My monitor is a AOC I2267FW 22-Inch if that can help any. A answer would be greatly appreciated!

Startech are a good cable company and are also Vesa certified for Displayport cables so their quality is assured.

1080p isn't as demanding as 1440p/144Hz or 4k where bitrate in a displayport or HDMI 2 (Highspeed cat2) cable is necessary so a DVI-D to HDMI cable i linked will be fine for your monitor. Signal is digital so there will be no loss in quality over this length being passive.

Dp to HDMI is dearer.
