3007WFP graphics card

Just bought myself a 3007wfp monitor for my Dell Precision 390.
The graphics card I currently have is a Quadro FX 550 PCI-X 16.
 
Now I dont play games or anything intensive but just want a new card that will support the resolution, basically want multiple windows open and work that way.
 
So first question do I have to have a DVI-D card or can I get by on a DVI-I?
Am looking for lowest cost ATI or NVIDA card that supports this monitor..any recommendations please??
 
Went to a huge PC store here in Japan and there are no DVI-D cards at all...maybe just not common here so I guess need to order from the net if I have to use DVI-D..
 
Thanks

    chuck1rar,

    That is an entry level DVI-I video card. We have not tested it on the 3007WFP. Yours only supports single-link DVI-I so you will only get 1280x800 on the 3007WFP.

    These are the video cards that Dell has tested on the 3007WFP/3007WFP-HC -
    DVI Dual-Link port = 2560x1600 60hz HDCP
    DVI Single-Link port = 1280x800 60hz

    Ati Crossfire 1950 XTX
    Ati Radeon X1900 XTX
    Ati FireGL V7200
    Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX
    Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2
    Nvidia GeForce 7900 GX2
    Nvidia GeForce 7900 GTX
    Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS
    Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX
    Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT
    Nvidia Quadro FX 5500
    Nvidia Quadro FX 4500
    Nvidia Quadro FX 4400
    Nvidia Quadro FX 3500
    Nvidia Quadro FX 3450
    Nvidia Quadro FX 1500

    DVI-I is a superset of DVI-D.

    Any video card out there that does support DVI will more often than not have a DVI-I connection on it. It supports both analog signals and digital signals in one cable. This means that the cable can transmit either a digital-to-digital signal or an analog-to-analog one, but it will not transmit crossovers of either one (digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital). It also means that if you have a DVI-I port on your video card your fine hooking up most DVI-D or DVI-A devices without needing a seperate adapter.

    Note: None of these cables can be interchanged with other cables. A DVI-D cable cannot be placed on an analog system nor can a DVI-A cable be placed on a digital system. The standards can not be mixed. A DVI-I port however can accept another DVI-I, DVI-D or DVI-A cable.

    Chris M, can you please tell me if any of these cards you have listed as supporting the 3007WFP will fit and work with either the Dimension E520 or Dimension E521 desktop? I don't want to have to buy an XPS or Precision if I can avoid it.

    I have a Precision 690 running Windows XP. My video card is FireGL V7200. I recently got an internal SATA HD/Blu-Ray DVD player. Just because of that I am getting a 2707WFP (that is supposed to support HDCP) My question is if FireGL V7200 supports HDCP (if it's irrelevant, please bring this up also!)on DVI connector - and if not, are there any other options to make the video card to play movies on this monitor. Thanks, FS

    This is AMD/ATI response to my question: ---------------------------------------- thank you for your request to the Technical Support of AMD. Unfortunately the ATI FireGL V7200 does not support HDMI and therefore no HDCP. For watching HDCP content you have to have a HDMI-capable graphics card, e.g. the ATI HD 2000 or the ATI HD 3000 series. Feel free to ask if there are further questions. Best regards, Marc D AMD TSC

    Chris, I have a PWS 690 with Nvidia Quadro FX 3500 card. Does this card support HDCP and is it suitable for adding an internal SATA Bluray drive in PWS 690.
