I just spent $400 and cannot find a way to use this monitor with the gtx 670 in my rig without spending over $100. I stopped by my local tigerdirect and being the useless workers they are, had no idea a monitor even had a male miniDP on it lol. XD

I've been looking and found:

Could I use this and then get a displayport to dvi adapter? Or would that not work? I REALLY don't plan on sending this nice monitor back so any help would be PHENOMINAL!

Thanx. :)
 
Just plug that adapter directly into the existing full size DislayPort on your GTX 670, and then plug the 24" ACD directly into the adapter and you should be up and running. DisplayPort and mini DisplayPort both carry the exact same video/audio signal. I've read reviews on Newegg of others using this exact adapter with their ACD's and have no problems. You can read the reviews here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200691

I just received my order for that exact adapter today for my Cinema to GFX 680, Mini DP to DP. Worked right out of the box.
