Dvi-D to Display port adapter for 1080ti
Given the 1080ti doesn't come with a DVI-D port, I'm feeling a bit left out in the cold in regards to my monitor. Which is this one. http://www.benq.ca/product/monitor/xl2720t/ I like my current monitor so I'm wondering if this adapter, http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX47473 , will enable me to keep my current monitor and achieve the same refresh rate in order to use 3D vision with the 1080ti. What are you guys thoughts on this?

Yeah, I read on reddit that the Asus Strix will have a DVI port, for example.

I wouldn't never buy a founders edition that's for sure. I'm kind of an MSI Gaming guy. Looking at that page you posted, if the pictures are current, the MSI on has a DVI port. I'll wait before I pounce on one. Thx D-Man11

I just have used very successfully in the past a passive 11.99 dollar adaptor from amazon for displayport to dvi. No problems...

Did you use it with a 3D Vision monitor at 1920x1080@120Hz? If so, link the specific page for the exact model that you purchased, so that others can get one that works.

Which will not work with 3D Vision.

To answer your original question. The adapter you linked is most likely one of the early versions that does not have the bandwidth required for 1920x1080P@120Hz, but would work with some of the earlier 3D Vision certified monitors like the SyncMaster 2233RZ which was1680x1050P@120Hz. Refer to the other thread I linked above for an alternative. I do not see the need to repeat myself in a repetitive thread.

Yah, sorry It just makes it hard when there are multiple threads on the same thing and bouncing back and forth between them. But you definitely want to confirm that any adapter that you buy is capable of at least 300 MHz.

I just wanted to confirm that the DVI adapter that comes with the Founder's edition only supports 60hz as stated in this thread: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/999121/geforce-1000-series/geforce-1080-ti-not-having-a-dvi-port/

Sorry my report on the passive adaptor is incorrect as it applies to 120hz. After checking, i found I was using it on my secondary display only not my primary stereo display and it does only support 60hz. Having just ordered a 1080ti Founders edition, I appreciate the heads up on this issue. May be time to cancel that order.

I would suggest waiting at this point. I don't even need a DVI connection but I am still waiting for the custom cards to come out.
