DVI-I to Displayport @ 2560x1440 60 Hz

[powercroat783]

I have this graphics card:

And two of these monitors:

Basically the annoying thing is that I cannot find a way to connect the DVI-I output to one of those monitors (using an adapter) without there being a loss in resolution. Everything I find specfically only converts from DisplayPort to DVI, not the other way around (or it requires DVI-D).

Is there a way around this, or am I going to have to get a different monitor or Grapics Card?

DVI cannot output DisplayPort compatible signal. You shoud just buy a DVI to HDMI cable. In my opinion that is the best solution.

Can you recommend one by chance? I seem to fall for the same problem with HDMI.

My mistake. My solution works only for a single link DVI connection.
I recommend using a active adapter or cable that converts DVI to DisplayPort.
I have found one solution but is pretty expensive. Maybe a second video card would be better.

DVI to DisplayPort 1.5M Active Cable

DVI-I if I'm correct will display either DVI-A (analog) or DVI-D (digital) through a single connector. You should be able to plug in a passive adapter to convert from DVI-I -> analog, or get an adapter to go from DVI-D to HDMI with a passive adapter, but any way you cut it you'll need an active adapter to get from DVI-(anything) to Displayport, and you'll lose resolution with that monitor unless you have a dual-link DVI-D (which yours is!).

Easiest way to drive it then would be getting a DVI Dual Link cable, and it should be able to drive the monitor at full resolution.

This would probably do it right here:

----edit----

Never mind, you have no DVI in... That is a puzzler - and about the only way to do it would be an active adapter to go from DVI-Dual-Link to displayport.

Or pick a different monitor which accepts Displayport and DVI-Dual Link.

What kind of the motherboard and CPU are you using? Hopefully you can use a second GPU.

It's actually a Mac Pro. It looks like we're going to purchase another Graphics Card. Thanks for the help everyone.

If it's a Mac Pro it is probably cheaper to buy the active adapter cable for $50. The description confirms that it supports 2560x1440
