ASUS G750 connecting to DELL3007WFPHC

[Kingstyler]

Hey there, I am currently facing a problem with my G750 (GTX765M) and my DELL3007 monitor. At the moment I am trying to connect the notebook to the monitor using a "CSL Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI cable", which has a capability to carry a resolution up to 2560x1600, which is what I am currently aiming for. But the problem is, that I am only getting a resultion of up to 1280x800, which is what a Single Link DVI cable would normally be capable of. I have already tried another MDP to DL DVI cable, which had the same problem.

So in short I am asking for advice here what to do next. One suspicion, that i had, is, that it might have something to do with the throughput of the Mini Display Port. So the next logical step would be to try out a HDMI to DL DVI cable, which however is only capable of 1920x1080p, which i think would be incapable of transmiting the right signal in order for it to work with the native resolution of the monitor.

Here is the cable that I am currently using:
CSL - 3m Mini DisplayPort auf DVI Kabel | 1080p |: Amazon.de: Elektronik

So does anyone have any idea, how i can fix this mess, so that i can use my notebook in conjunction with the dell monitor at a resolution of at least 1080p?

Thx in advance.

Welcome to the forum.

Maybe you need one of the more expensive Active Mini DisplayPort to DVI conversion cables.
You might need to contact Dell tech support to see if the much more expensive active converter cables are required.
There's got to be a reason why some of these cables cost $30 - $100 or more.
