Finally! a display port to dvi adapter that will drive an old school cinema display at 2560x1600. I plugged the addapter into my evga 1080 graphic card, plugged the usb power dongle into a usb port on back of my computer, then plugged the monitor cord into the adapter and SUCCESS! the cinema monitor now shows up on my windows 'display settings' (right click desktop to open)
in the attached picture, the apple cinema display on the right is directly connected to the graphic card and the diplay on the left is connected through the adapter.
there's one odd thing that happens, when first starting up the computer or waking from sleep, the adapter-connected monitor will flash black three times. maybe this is related to how it draws power from the usb? it scared the crap out of me the first time it happened, but after the three flashes to black, that monitor functions flawlessly for as long as the computer is on.
i'm so happy that this product works! now i don't have to have an extra graphic card heating up my computer! the internal temps are cooler. also, freed up a couple pci slots to use for other things.
this adapter isn't cheap, but it works--so worth every penny, in my opinion. :)
ps--if playing games, i use the monitor directly connected to the graphic card. so i have no idea if the adapter would effect fps/quality.
4 MONTH UPDATE: adapter still does the "flash black" a couple times when turned on, but then works flawlessly. seems to have no adverse effect when playing games on another monitor plugged directly into the same graphic card, no lose of framerate, etc. I'm very happy!

From the manufacturer
Suitable for DisplayPort video cards not capable of outputting DVI signals
DP2DVID2 performs an active DisplayPort-DVI conversion that is suitable for video sources that output either multimode (DP++) or single-mode DisplayPort signals. This ensures the adapter can be used even with graphics cards that aren't capable of outputting multimode DP++ signals, such as ATI Eyefinity cards.
Eliminates cost
The DP2DVID2 DisplayPort to DVI (Dual-Link) Adapter actively converts the output signal from a DisplayPort video source for use with a DVI-D display (monitor, etc.) or projector, helping to eliminate the equipment costs of upgrading a DVI display to a newer model for the sake of compatibility.
