it does not. However, you can get an HDMI to DVI cable. They usually work well. I can vouch for the cable from Amazon basics.I am wondering if 6800 card have dvi port?
Well, i got two of these thing so it would more expensive to buy new monitor.Honestly time to move on to a modern monitor. Those active cables are very buggy and expensive.
I understand. I just heard those active cables are very trouble some.Well, i got two of these thing so it would more expensive to buy new monitor.
They literally sell 70" 4K TV monitors for $400 Dollars,65"for $300 dollars need I go on.
@op move on to the real world.
I love this stupid advice. The monitor he has is 1440p, 27", low input lag, and possibly overclocks past 60Hz. So you offer him a 4k TV with high input lag and shitty panel quality. I'm guessing OP wants to use this for gaming since he's looking at high end graphics cards, in which case your suggestions are inferior in many ways to his old, outdated monitor.They literally sell 70" 4K TV monitors for $400 Dollars,65"for $300 dollars need I go on.

When they first came out they were FAR under the price of the competition, but DVI only (several hundred dollars under, if not more, especially given the quality of hte panel).Are we talking about those Korean 27" 1440p IPS monitors? I never understood why many people wouldn't pay the $10-20 premium for a DisplayPort model. DVI was on its way out already back then, and it would have saved them a lot of pain and expense.
I guess it is not what you want to hear, but the DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapters often have compatibility and reliability problems. Unless you want to perpetually stay in that world of potential pain every hardware upgrade, I suggest to avoid them.
An alternative may be to use an older graphics card with dual-link DVI outputs, and using it for display. A faster GPU can do the rendering. That works well on Linux, and on Windows that sort of switchable graphics is supported since Version 1803 I think.
Maybe with the really early monitors. But I remember the DisplayPort models and how people overclocked them too.DVI only
I ~think~ those were a slightly different panel, but I could be wrong - I was running crappy old TN panels then and hadn't bothered upgrading.Maybe with the really early monitors. But I remember the DisplayPort models and how people overclocked them too.
Back then I was seriously considering buying one. And for almost every DVI-only model there was one slightly (like $10-20) more expensive variant that had DVI+DP. But these were much less popular with buyers.

If you afford to buy a 6800, then surely you can afford a decently priced monitor, pretty much all mid range and high end cards no longer include legacy ports such as VGA and DVI, it's either DP or HDMI.
No idea, give it a try and let us know. It's the displayport protocol, so who knows.Actually i heard story that 6800 have a usbc connection? would that work better as there are usbc to dvi cabke.
LolThen you find out they are wanting to use two Dell 19" Ultrasharp 4:3 monitors from 2004 with a 6800...
Reminds me of firms that scream if I tell them to spend £400 on a new PC to run their new delivery van fleet that just cost them £300,000!
