Heres the deal. I have a gtx260 superclocked.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130372
i purchased a samsung sa300 seen here:http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/computer-peripherals/monitors/consumer/LS23A300BS/XK/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification&subsubtype=series-3-led
For some reason when i try to hook them up via a the dvi cable i have, i run into some serious issues. The display either A) doesnt show anything but recognizes that its plugged in, or B) displays the full 1920X1080 resolution, but outside the limits of the monitor; meaning stuff like the taskbar, and the left most column of icons is off the screen.
The DVI Cable im using appears to be DVI-i (single link) seen in the picture below

I get the same thing on another 23" monitor plugged into the same or different port on the card.
It seems to display fine with a full DVI-I (dual link) to VGA adaptor, but im afraid with the VGA im getting some signal loss thru the adaptor while playing games. Plus the connectors stick like 6" out the back of the machine.
What am i missing here? do i need a full DVI-I dual link cable in order for it to auto adjust right? It does not allow me to hit the auto adjust on the monitor when plugged in via the DVI-i (single link) cable i have.
Thanks for any insight.
