apparently mythical cable...

Has anyone ever heard of a DVI-I male to DisplayPort(full-sized) male cable, or a DVI-I male to DisplayPort(full-sized) adapter? If either of those exist do you know where I could acquire them?

Are you searching for something like this:

They are quite common.

This is dvi-i.

I've seen that first one as well, but it looks like DVI-D...

and though the second one is DVI-I it's female instead of male...I suppose I could then get a DVI-I male-to-male cable("they" do make those, ...right?), but I was hoping to leave out as many interconnects as possible and keep things "simple", although this whole endeavor has gone as far from "simple" as i could ever imagine...

So you're aware, I've got a DVI-I(female port) output graphics card, and I'm getting a monitor that has a DisplayPort(female port) input(the monitor does have other inputs, but I already have plans for them). For my purposes, will a DVI-D male to DisplayPort male cable work/fit in a DVI-I female port?

 

[T.T.]

it should, as your graphics card will be sending a digital signal to something that can accept it.
