How about an hdmi to dvi adapter.

I think those monitors are 1440p so HDMI probably does not have the bandwidth.

I think you need a DisplayPort to DVI adaptor - not sure if you need passive or active, but a little research should tell you.

from what i found out they will only run with duel link dvi no adapters

Unless I'm mistaken, it will work, just not with a passive adapter at any resolution over 1920x1200. You'll need an active adapter. AMD has a potentially helpful list of them here.
