One or two others don't support as many pins as the cables I have, so some of the cables/connectors don't even fit. Best I can do is a DVI-D (single link) cable to a monitor that has that socket. But I already tried that one out.

I had no idea that DVI had diversified into so many variants, nor do I really see the point. Would have been a bit hesitant about buying this card, had I known.

Oops, missed that. The CPU is the Core2Duo E7300.
