Help wit dual link or single link DVI cable for eyefinity?

[JAG]

Hi, I finally get an active dvi to displayport adapter to connect a third monitor, this one has DVI and VGA entry, but it only came with the VGA video cable, so I use a VGA to DVI adapter, and surprise, it doesn't work, I was searching for info and apparently this kind of active adapters don't allow you to use "other adapters" so the only choice is to buy a DVI to DVI cable, and here is where I need help. The only DVI to DVI cable in the store is Dual Link and in the package of the displayport adapter it says "DisplayPort to Single Link DVI", so can I use the Dual Link cable or should I go directly for a Single Link cable?

 

Please help me :helpsmilie:

Hi again

 

Problem solved, the dual link dvi cable works fine, but another dvi to hdmi cable was needed, but I had one available at home. It's amazing having three monitors on your desktop.

 

 

Cheers
