My monitor cable connection doesn't match my new card

Smaug · 01-November-07, 09:14 PM

Yeah I just bought a 7600gs GDDR3 256mb card, and my monitor, which is an older 15 pin connection, has no place to hook to on this card. Are there adaptors made for this? Any recommendations? I never really thought that there would be a different connection on the card than on the monitor.

What you need is a DVI to VGA adapter. One should of came with the video card but if it didn't you should be able to pick one up for cheap at a computer store.

Yes that card probaly has dual DVI your monitor might have a DVI port in it or youll need a DVI to VGA Connecter

something like this

Newegg.com - ATEN DVI to VGA adapter for Twin-View video cards Model DVI-2-VGA - OEM

You got a 7600GS? GDDR3? Hmm... I reckon Ive never come across one of those. Is it a 7600GT? Anyways, if it has only DVI, like said before, you need a DVI to VGA dongle <---love that word

Ive never seen a Dual DVI 7600GS

AHA! For once, I was right

So did you get a dongle (teehee) and did it work out after all?
