Sapphire HD4830 - $75 AR

[Mongoloid]

Does anyone know if I can hook up dual head DVI monitors? Is there such a thing as a VGA-DVI adapter that would work with this card?

I don't own any of the newer Radeon cards, but an HDMI to DVI converter/cable might work (so you'll be using one monitor with the DVI port and the other with the HDMI port).

Other folks here may be able to shed some more light on this.

I bought this on 3/31 and the rebate changed on 4/1. Where can I get the 3/31 rebate? I checked the website of worldwiderebate for the instant one, but it only lists amazon as the reseller....

any advice?

I'm going to pass due to the reports of it running loud

Here ya go. Newegg has a "Rebate Center" where they keep all their rebates archived (for future reference).

Did anyone fill out the rebate? I CANNOT find one that fits this model. The rebate linked by newegg to this product specifies a 4830 with dual DVI and has totally different SKU# and UPC#. I searched worldwiderebates.com and they do NOT have a rebate for this particular model. I contacted newegg and they said it is the manufacturer who does the rebate and to contact them! What is going on here!?!? Advertise a rebate when none exists (as far as I can tell), have a no refund policy... smells fishy.

from the rebate Sapphire Radeon HD 4830 512MB PCIe w/Dual Link DVI

this does not mean two dvi connections just that is supports higher resolution.

WHAT ARE SINGLE AND DUAL LINKS ?

Haha.

For the record, price is now $69 shipped after rebate... EMCLRML42

OK. thanks. I am wrong for thinking the "dual link" meant two DVI ports. However, has anyone noticed the rebate UPC and SKU simply do not match with what's on the box? My experience with rebates is that such a discrepancy will get rebates rejected.

THANK YOU! HDMI to DVI adapter worked
