Does anyone here have DVI Dual Link running along with Windows 98 and a modern 144hz monitor? Could you share your knowledge on this?
I've read in reviews that nVidia GeForce 7950GT graphics cards already support DVI Dual Link (And support first appeared in GeForce 6), but every time I tried to connect them with a DVI-D Dual-Link cable that came with the monitor, I got a black screen - no signal. I tried to connect a modern video card instead of 7950GT and the signal was immediately (Full DVI Dual-Link). I've tried several different 7950GTs from different manufacturers whose specs explicitly mention DVI Dual-Link support, but it's all the same. What are the nuances here, what to pay attention to?
Maybe the old 7950GT needs some special monitor and not every modern one is suitable? If so, which of them will definitely work with the 7950GT, only necessarily with support for 1920*1080@144hz or higher? Or maybe some special cable is needed for the old 7950GT? Or maybe some settings need to be made in VBIOS or hardware modifications?
In general, what could be the reason here, has anyone already figured it out?
For whom everything works, specify what video card you are using, type of DVI Dual-Link cable (and year of manufacture) and monitor (model and year of release)?
