I've been googling for some active adaptors, should I be worried about the maximum bandwidth/chipset in the cable at all? Cause some cables are 10 bucks, some are almost a 100. I did not touch anything in CRU, so i think currently this might be the problem, this cable is definitely a passive one.

It just needs to be a dual-link adapter. Unfortunately, dual-link DVI adapters are not cheap. The cheap ones are single-link DVI.

It doesn't say anything about dual-link DVI. I don't know why it mentions HDMI when it's a DVI adapter.

Looks like even with the active adaptor it didnt work, I did not change any settings on CRU, only listing the options that have 'active' beside them.

What adapter did you get?
