Dell 3008WFP - How to Cables ?

[wkstar]

I just left the EverQuest Fan Fair and they had a bunch of Dell 30" screens and I was like Wow ! The image was just fantastic, Now I want one.
Also I don't wanna here about how you used to play on a 14" screen with a GeForce 2. Just like World of Warcraft the graphics requirements have gone up alot with each expansion.
.Besides, I use my machine for many things not just one.

Anyway my Question is more basic. How is this thing hooked to the Video card ?
I understand you need to use a DVI-D Digital Dual Link cable such as < H E R E >

But do you use one cable or two ?

How is the thing pluged in? Tons of reviews, But this is never explained or a picture shown.
Do you use both DVI outputs from the Video card or one? Or you you use Two video cards with one cable from each ?

I always thought the two DVI outputs was for people that used two separate screens.Maybe I was wrong about that ?

I am thinking that a GeForce GTX 295 1792MB would go well with this screen.

You only need one dual-link DVI cable.

I use a GTX 295 with my 3008WFP and they work great together. Just plug one end of a Dual Link DVI cable into either DVI port on the 295 and connect the other end to either DVI port on the 3008.

Yea, you need to have a video card that supports dvi dual link, whether it be DVI-I (Dual Link) or DVI-D (Dual link), either will work.

This might help you understand the cable connection a bit better
