use a vga monitor

Recommended Posts

How is it possible to use a vga monitor with a dvi-i graphics card? My video card does not have a vga slot, only a dvi-i slot. But my monitor only has a vga plug! is there some sort of converter that can make my card fit?

DVI spec allots some pins in the connector for analog VGA video... if your video card supports DVI-A, you just need the proper adapter. Any electronics or computer store should have them; most video cards these days come with them.

I'm running one right now for my second monitor. Those connectors work perfectly.

 

Only thing I don't like is they make the connector stick out another like 4", so if it got bent down, the video connector on the card would probably break.
