3008WFP, max resolution issue

Hi,
I cannot get my trusty 3008WFP to output its max resolution when used with my new pc. It has a GTX 260 Ti with only HDMI and DisplayPort outs. I am using a top quality HDMI cable but am only able to get 1920x1200 max resolution. Can I use an HDMI to DVI adapter to make it work?

    HDMI to DVI adapter, unknown, we never tested it.

    The 3008WFP HDMI in port is HDMI 1.1 which has a maximum display resolution of 1920x1080 60Hz.

    The 3008WFP DP in port has a maximum display resolution of 2560x1600 60Hz.

    So connect like this =
    GTX 260 Ti DP out port --> DP to DP cable --> 3008WFP DP in port

    I'm using my 3008WFP at 2560 x 1600 resolution at 30Hz refresh rate over HDMI.

    On Linux you can add a modeline with xrandr to enable this custom resolution:

    "2560x1600@30" 163.70 2560 2592 3208 3240 1600 1636 1644 1681

    On windows you may be able use the above data with your graphics driver.

    Alternatively this looks somewhat promising:
