ISO: adapter dvi male to minidisplayport female - pqrst - 03-19-2016
Hi there
I have a cinema display, with a minidisplayport plug and want to connect it a video card with dvi ports. Anybody have idea where to get one? Thanks.

why not just get a DVI to MDP cable?
no adapter needed.

That won't work and I can't recall ever seeing just what you are needing

It's a new video card? Why aren't you converting a displayport then? It's fairly rare for new video cards not to include at least one.

I have two cinema displays. The video has a single DP port and two Dvi ports.

I need to a little more checking since I came across this item. Been a while since I had to deal with the ins and outs of video adapters and compatibility.
I may order this adapter just to try it out (need to get a DP to mini DP adapter.)http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-6FT-1-8M-Displayport-DP-Male-To-DVI-D-Male-Adapter-Cable-Core-Black-/171923041829?hash=item2807696e25:g:lFIAAOSwgQ9V7PWW

So you already have a ADC to DVI? (hint: which Cinema Display)
