| 777007 | 2009-05-26 08:17:00 | Reading the latest PC world mag the graphics card section and looking at the cards on review they didn't look like they had a standard attachment for the monitor, did my eyes deceive me or do they have a different connection? | gary67 (56) | ||
| 777008 | 2009-05-26 08:18:00 | dvi wasnt it? on the ATI cards? | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 777009 | 2009-05-26 08:19:00 | So could you attach a normal monitor to them? | gary67 (56) | ||
| 777010 | 2009-05-26 08:31:00 | Not unless its got VGA on it. Unless you get an adapter from somewhere. Altho cards do have DVI, VGA, and HDMI on them | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 777011 | 2009-05-26 09:25:00 | You can get adapters. My card (pretty old now though) came with a DVI port and a VGA one, and had an adapter for the DVI port. | ad_267 (6193) | ||
| 777012 | 2009-05-26 09:53:00 | most of the new monitors that you buy nowadays come with both the normal VGA cable and also a DVI cable. but if you do not have the DVI cable than you will need a DVI to VGA adaptor. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 777013 | 2009-05-26 10:41:00 | Thanks just wasn't sure what they were. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 777014 | 2009-05-26 20:31:00 | First they had VGA connectors. Then VGA + DVI, then 2 DVI, now most have DVI + HDMI | pctek (84) | ||
| 777015 | 2009-05-27 06:26:00 | Every card ive had comes with the adapters, even my asus mobo came with adapters for the graphics. which is weird cos it doesnt have onboard | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 777016 | 2009-05-27 06:29:00 | Every card ive had comes with the adapters, even my asus mobo came with adapters for the graphics. which is weird cos it doesnt have onboard +1 Higher end cards generally have DVI+DVI with an HDMI adapter. Cheaper cards are usually VGA+DVI with S-Video |
