Re: Help with my new 30in-- Possible $50(or more) reward :)
 

looking at my cords and comparing them to the wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvi)...

it looks like the monitor cord is a dvi-d dual link while the adapter is a dvi-i dual link, but they fit together fine. i think the card supports dvi, but not dual link perhaps?

It looks like this will support dual-link dvi.

Note that the physical connector may support that, but your particular graphics adapter may not.

I've been doing a little bit of digging around and I haven't found any half-height graphics adapters that support dual-link.

I'm willing to bet up to one penny that this is the problem.

I just looked on a site about specs of my card and it specifically says: [ QUOTE ]
What it will do, however, is run a Dell 3007WFP 30” LCD monitor at 2560x1600, thanks to its "Dual-Link DVI-I connector and allow any person with a PCI slot to use a current generation

I also noticed that in my display settings, it isn't showing up as (Digital) for the connection. My machine reads "Dell 3007WFP and Radeon..." On my brothers machine, he is running a Geforce 6800 Ultra with a Dell 20" widescreen monitor. It shows the connection as "Dell 2005FPW (Digital) and Geforce 6800 Ultra"

On the specs for the 3007 it lists :
VESA, 1280 x 800 - 50 kHz Horizontal, 60.0 Hz Vertical
VESA, 2560 x 1600 (digital) - 99 kHz Horizontal, 60 Hz Vertical"
so I think we can assume this is where my max resolution is coming from right now.

What am I missing?

Eh, the above link is for a VisionTek PCI (NOT PCIe) card... is this your exact model?

Re: Help with my new 30in-- Possible $50(or more) reward :)
 

No, it's not the exact same model. I have whichever version dell crammed into my slim desktop. I don't think they would change the chipset, though. Shouldn't I still be able to support the digital resolution of 2560x1600?

Re: Help with my new 30in-- Possible $50(or more) reward :)
 

The x1300 chipset certainly supports Dual-Link DVI (the vital issue here) - but if your card's manufacturer chose to connect all the pins to enable this functionality is another issue [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Looks like your cables are all fine, so I'm starting to lean to the fact that they didn't bother [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

At a guess, I'd think your card is the one halfway down this page - unfortuantely there is no part # so I can't figure for certain if it can do Dual-Link... but your experiences suggest not at this point.

EDIT: Scratch that, ther eis a part # - it is probably a "JJ461" - but the fact that they mention Dual-Link for some of the NVIDIA cards and for the ATi FireGL, but not for yours is not looking good imo.

Gonna guess you need a new card [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Help with my new 30in-- Possible $50(or more) reward :)
 

Yes, that is the same looking card, but mine is the 256mb version. I don't understand why I can't go digital with it...

Re: Help with my new 30in-- Possible $50(or more) reward :)
 

There are 256MB versions on that page too - see above edit.

Re: Help with my new 30in-- Possible $50(or more) reward :)
 

talked to dell today. they said that i have best possible card my computer can fit: only have a 250 watt power supply, lo profile, pci-express, and max of 256mb.

im having a dell guy come out to replace my current one since they think it should be running things fine.
