I just order a Dell 30" 3007 monitor and the note said you must have
dual-link DVI support. I see two DVI ports on the 4870x2.

The question is do I need two sets of cables for this connection?
Or do I use a splitter and use only one of the DVI ports at the card?

Inquiring minds would like to know. Thanks! -keith
 
You just need a dual-link cable, should get a generic one from Dell, and to connect it to one of the DVI ports on the back of your card.
 
The monitor has DVI-D and the 4870xs has DVI-I. Looks like I'll need an adapter.
Which one is the newer set-up?
 
No you don't need an adapter. A dual link cable is just a different kind of cable. The technical details are unimportant. Get one of these and it'll do what you need.
 
I dont think it matters as long as u got a dual link dvi cable witch should come with the monitor.
