DVI connector chart:

There are two variables in every DVI connector, and each represents one characteristic.
The flat pin on one side denotes whether the cable is digital or analog:
A flat pin with four surrounding pins is either DVI-I or DVI-A
A flat pin alone denotes DVI-D
The pinsets vary depending on whether the cable is single-link, dual-link, or analog:
Two separated 9-pin sets (rows of 6) for a single-link cable
A solid 24-pin set (rows of 8) for a dual-link cable
A separated 8-pin and 4-pin set is for DVI-A.
Can you find a part number on your cable and verify that it is a DDL cable? The number of pins showing does not matter, its the number of pins connected that matters. Lots of cables come with connectors with full pins with only a few pins used. I was just quoting the Dell support guy, he told me they ship all 3007WFP's with single link cables. He may have been mistaken. They overnighted a DDL cable to me that should be here shortly. I will hook it up and let the forum know the results when it shows.
oh, if you want to use the monitor as a TV you can get a USB HDTV tuner like the Cat's Eye, comes with remote and everything.

Note: I specifically asked Dell support why it was working at 2560x1600 at all with a single link cable. He said it does work, but starts having issues when the amount of data traffic increases.
You wouldn't get a picture without a DL cable on the 3007. There were a couple 3007's that did go out with a 18 pin connector though. I don't think that any of the single link cables are 24 pin, but some of the 24 pin cables are backwards compatable as per the above linked chart. That said, I suppose it is possible that Dell had a 24pin cable with only dvi single support, but it doesn't seem likely. I wonder if the belkin pureAV DL cable would make any difference in IQ?Quote:

Do not see any obvious IQ difference between the Belkin and the original. The Belkin has some fancy shielding on it and gold plated connectors. Supposed to make a difference, none that I can tell.
Oh, no differerence in the status of the monitor. Still does not work with the higher level nVidia drivers. :p
oh, and nVidia reccomends the 81.98 drivers for users of the 3007WFP.
because they are too lazy to add support to the other beta drivers they already have out. (other than 83.10)Quote:

Yup, got the one from Dell. Do not see any noticable IQ difference.
You gonna return it then?
Not worth the hassle/time of taking apart my setup and mailing the whole thing back.
tried modded 83.60 drivers. Stil no go.
I have no problems (anymore...) in getting full 2560x1600 res with windows desktop and with two 2D games I have tried (subspace & cosmic rift). However of the two 3D games I have tried, it only lets me choose at max 1024x768 res within the game. The two games I have tried were "Battlefield 2" and "Warcraft 3". I am using an evga 7800gt and 81.98 drivers. I remember seeing on some site with someone showing screenshots of BF2 in 2560x1600 so I know it can be done. I just can't do it. Has anyone here got it working at full res with BF2?
UPDATE: I got 2560x1600 to work on the "Star Wars - Empire at War" demo. But still no go on BF2 and WC3.
UPDATE2: nevermind, i got it to work in BF2 by passing (appending) command line parameters at the shortcut:
+menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 2560 +szy 1600
However, while the 3d graphics itself is 2560x1600 res and correct aspect ratio, the HUD (like the radar) is an oval. But I guess I can live with that. I could have sworn I seen a screenshot of BF2 at 2560x1600 with a circle radar tho. And no, +widescreen instead of +fullscreen doesn't change anything either. Oh well.
Some fixes require input or cooperation beyond our control. Please be patient and rest assured this is a priority issue that is being addressed.
Best regards,
NVIDIA Customer Care
FYI: Games that I have tried that work at 2560x1600.
Civilization 4
Dungeon Siege 2
Guild Wars
Rise of Nations
I do note a distinct lack of FPS here!:eek: Extreme res for relatively slow games like RTS is doable, I'd like to see someone (except T'birdy with his godlike 9700Pro :p) say they can do FEAR/Q4 at that res, max detail and with eye candy to boot. :DQuote:

Ok, just for you I downloaded and installed the FEAR demo. Changed the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Monolith Productions\FEARSPDemo\settings.cfg file to set ScreenWidth to 2560 and ScreenHeight to 1600. Works fine. No problems. Now I got to go lay down for a bit, too dammed nauseous.
lol, thanks for taking one for the team.

I haven't seen anyone else mount their 3007 vertical yet. In case anyone is interested in doing this, changing it to vertical just requires unscrewing the 4 screws to the VESA mount and screwing it back 90 degrees rotated. Too bad it isn't as convenient as the 2405 where you just simply rotate it without dealing with screws. BTW, you can see the BF2 radar being an oval while running it at 2560x1600 as I mentioned in a previous post. The actual 3D environment is the correct aspect ratio however. If anyone knows how to fix this, pls let me know. :)

LOL! Like James'd said, thanks for taking one for the team. :D FEAR did make many feel a lil nauseous (even me! :o) initially, but it takes a lil getting use to. Were you serious about running FEAR @2560x1600, max detail (no soft shadow), with AA/AF to boot? :eek:Quote:

Ran it at max everything. Was not measuring fps, I got 9404 on my 3DMark06 tests so I am not too concerned with fps.
