Cable from GTX 1080 to U2417H
I have just bought a Dell XPS 8920 with GTX 1080 and a U2417H monitor but there was no cable supplied to connect the graphics card to the monitor, only a display port cable for the onboard graphics.
Anyone know what cable do I need to connect the GTX 1080 to the U2417H ?
Thanks,
Jon

Backup, if a discrete GTX 1080 is installed, you will not use any of the computer onboard video out ports. All monitors will connect to the GTX 1080.
When purchased new from Dell, per the User's Guide pages 5/6, the U2417H ships with the following cables =
The U2417H has the following video in ports, page 9 =
The GTX 1080 has at least one full size DP (DisplayPort) out, so connect in this way =
GTX 1080 DP out port --> U2417H DP to mDP cable --> U2417H mDP in port

Thanks, all sorted now.
I was not familiar with the new DisplayPort cables so was looking for a DVI cable instead to connect to the video card. I didn't notice the blanking plate with 4 DP connectors :(
