(color, font size, and bolding changed by me)

Dual Link DVI was used for high res (2560 X 1600) monitors before Display Port became available. (Dual link suggests 2 cables, but it's really one.) You might have gotten 2560 X 1440 if you had a DP to Dual Link adapter. Apparently, you did not.

I write this to correct the impression some may have that you can't get the high-res graphics with DVI. You can, but a Dual Link capable card (and cable) are required.

DisplayPort is best for you, though: no adapters.

The information posted came from the spec sheet on the card. On that card to get higher resolutions you need to use Display Port, this may be the "new norm" and that is why fragilepony was having issues. They keep changing stuff so it becomes even more impotent to check the specs as what did work at one time no longer does on the new card.:)

Hi people I can't find the resolution list for NVS 295
Can you please enlighten me if it has 2560x1080 mode?
I am thinking of buying the card to feed the LG 29 wide monitor (LG IPS Monitor 29EA93 | 29" 21:9 Wide Screen IPS LED Monitor - LG Electronics UK)
Thank you in advance
