Is there a single card that can support 2 dual dvi connections to 2 separate 1440p monitors at the same time? Every card I see has only 1 dvi-dual with alot of other ports like hdmi, display, dvi-single
 
Pretty much every card made in the last 2 years can. The 6970 could only support single link and dual link dvi. The 7970 (if it has dual dvi) can do 2x dual link dvi and the 280x can do dual link dvi. As can the 290 the 780 and most likely even the new 750 that just came out. How much are you looking to spend and what kind of performance are you looking for should be where you start looking.
 
Displayport can handle dual link dvi, you just need a converter. So make sure the card supports the dual link dvi and the display port and then get a converter for the dp.
 
Please attach a link to a card that will support 2 monitors that can run 2560x1440p resolution. Thanks
 
That link sent me to a list of cards on newegg. Only 1 card on that list had dual d-dvi. the radeon r9 290x Thanks

nope, all of those cards are Dual Link DVI.. yes, the 290X have 2 Dual Link DVI-D. the rest have dual Link DVI-I both are Dual Link. whats the difference? DVI-D Are digital Only. DVI-I are Digital-Analog, and its actually used to allow people use DVI to VGA converters for Analog VGA monitors, nothing more,

im afraid you are wrong here. i actually just got off the phone with newegg returning my two gigabyte r9 290s because i made the same faulty assumptions as you. Here is one random nvidia card i picked from your list:

if you look at the specs, only one port is dual link, so only one dvi port is capable of running 1440p, whereas the OP is looking for 2x dual-link DVI ports. The 290 card i picked up was even worse. If you look at gigabytes specs on this, it reveals that neither port is dual link!

Newegg really needs to update their filters to incorporate # of dual link DVI ports, as most people buying higher end cards are going to be running higher resolutions than petty 1080p.
