What make and model monitor?

 

[kacpercusen]

its a dell2407wfp

 

[i7Baby]

It has -
1 x DVI-D - 24 pin digital DVI
4 x USB 2.0 - 4 pin USB Type A
1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)
1 x component video input - RCA x 3
1 x composite video input - RCA
1 x S-video input - 4 pin mini-DIN

Your 970 has -
DVI 1 (2560x1600)
HDMI 1 (4K @ 60 Hz)
DisplayPort 3 (4K @ 60 Hz)
VGA (with included adapter)


I'd just run with the DVI to VGA adapter to the D-Sub port on the monitor.

[kacpercusen]

so the dvi-d cable will fit in the dv-i slot?

 

[Sammyjo20]

No, sorry. Dual link works with single link but not single to dual.

 

[i7Baby]

so the dvi-d cable will fit in the dv-i slot?

dvi to vga adapter into the graphics card dvi slot. vga cable from the adapter to the monitor d-sub port

 

[kacpercusen]

whats the difference if i use a vga adapter?

 

[i7Baby]

It should work.

 

[kacpercusen]

what about a single link dvi-d cable into a dual link dvi-i port, are they compatible?

 

[i7Baby]

Try the vga adapter

 

[kacpercusen]

and does the https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/zotac-video-card-zt9010310p come with 2 8 pin adapters or does the psu come with them?

 

[i7Baby]

The power supply should. You should check.
