DVI Cable Help!

2093 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Frank4d
Hi,

Quick question-

I have a GAteway FPD2185W, which has DVI-D and I plan to get a Nvidia/BFG GeForce 7600 or 7900, both of which have DVI-I. The DVI-D is digital only, and the DVI-I is both analog and digital. Is it possible to get a cable with a DVI-D on one end and a I on the other? Or will DVI-D cables fit into DVI-I sockets? Will the configuration work?

:confused:

DVI-I cables contain both DVI-I and DVI-D signals, so a DVI-I cable will work for both. Your problem is really 1) does the monitor have an input menu selection whether to use analog or digital input (your Gateway link doesn't work)? And 2) whether the graphics card needs to select digital or analog output (usually doesn't matter as most output both)?
