Multi-Monitor Video Card Help

"... So, I'm wondering can I get an adapter and run the dual link DVI cable into an adapter that plugs into my video cards display port spot?

There are DVI-DP cables... don't know if dual or single link or if subject to same 1920x1200 limitation of DVI-DP adapter.

Monoprice is a good place to buy cables. You might call and ask.

I believe NVS 295 is only single-link, regardless of cables/connectors.

'... I am getting four 27 inchers that run at 2560x1440.... These monitors I'm getting only come with dual link DVI and VGA connections...

Dell Ultrasharp U2711 comes with DP also and gets good consumer reviews.

Are the monitors you're considering buying older versions? Seems any monitor today with such high res would also come with DP connector... ??

If you're Hell-bent on those monitors (w/o DP), suggest trying them with DVI-DP cables on your 295s. If not satisfactory, look for other cards.
