poor playback performance -m171

Did some looking. The problem is that when render data is sent to the GPU, the GPU will only render one display space. Since the graphics card might see an analog and a digital device at the same time, the analog device actually receives precedence. So using these DVI to DVI Y BNC 5-Wire cables means that if the final analog device is outside the scan range of the DVI viewing device, then the DVI device will not scan correctly.

Incidentally, I tend to always use 1024x768@75 (for 25fps) I got a few of these cables with the DVI Y BNC and they seem to work fine with my projectors and DVI monitors.

It's a good cheap solution when I can't justify the cost of having a half dozen Image Pros in a rack with me.

sounds like trouble to me.
