3007wfp at 30'

I have a 3007wfp hooked up to a Leadtek 7600GS which does have Dual-Link DVI support. Because of the way my customer's computer is set up, there is a 30' cable between the computer and monitor. I can only get the resolution up to 1280x800. I've read posts saying that the 3007wfp does not have a scaler so it only does 1280x800 or 2560x1600. Do anyone think the video card doesn't have a the power to output 2560x1600 at 30'?

    Digital DVI has a maximum length of 15ft. You'll need a $240 DVI repeater/booster to get the 30ft.

    the pins do match. i've actually tried another cable with the same results. what makes me think it's the power of the video card is that my supervisor setup the computer and when we have the cable that comes with the monitor hooked up he could get any resolution he wants.

    Have you verified the cable is a dual-link cable? The connectors should exactly match the ports, pin for pin, no more, no less.

    From what I found Gefen is the only people who make it. Does anyone else make one?

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that monitor will run anything lower than 1280X800. And it won't run anything larger because of the length issue. So my answer would be yes, it will resolve it.

    One thing that I just thought of was that the current setup will run 1280x800, but anything above or below that the goes to white bars before reverting back to the old resolution. Will the extender still fix this?

    It can do lower resolutions. We had this one running at 1024x768 for a while.
