Ok my monitor has a Dvi-D single link port, and my GFX card has a DVI-I Dual link port. What is the cheapest and easiest way to connect them with only a trip to a radio shack or a PC store. I also have a DVI-D cable which came with my monitor.

Thanks

You should be ok using the cable that came with your monitor. Have you tried it?

Yeah I just did and it doesn't work, do they make adapters like the dvi to vga?

There was a monitor setting I forgot to change. Now it works beautifully 8-).
