| 801876 | 2009-08-17 07:13:00 | Just bought a HD TV, want to run the HDMI output from my 8600GT card to the TV. Currently I have the HDMI running to my monitor. So, went and plugged the DVI to VGA connector in (to the back of the 8600GT) and then plugged that into the monitor...can't get a signal?? Is there something in software I need to do to make both the DVI/VGA and HDMI outputs active?? |

| 801878 | 2009-08-17 07:44:00 | Some boards only allow one digital signal. So you can have VGA and DVI or VGA and HDMI. | gcarmich (10068) | ||
| 801879 | 2009-08-17 11:42:00 | Why use DVI-VGA? Does the monitor not have a DVI connection? What about trying a DVI-HDMI cable? That is what I use with my TV. But may pay to check, as gcarmich said, your card may not support both the HDMI & DVI outputs working at the same time. I have only seen this with onboard graphics cards though. |

| 801881 | 2009-08-20 02:21:00 | also note the monitor may not auto detect the different connection and you may need to manually selct the VGA input on the monitor | dugimodo (138) | ||
