Got a new gfx card that doesn't do VGA and I've got a VGA monitor to hook up to it as a second monitor. The card itself has 1 hdmi out, 1 dvi-d out and three display ports. No. 1 is using the hdmi and I don't have a display port socket in either monitor, so given what I've got, it's going dvi-d to generic DVI then a DVI to VGA them plugging the monitor in. I've ordered a DVI to VGA connector from the eBay to get it tidied up.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42275.7&return_msg=42275.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42275.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42275_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_42275_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time"> 9 Dec 2018 19:15</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Dec 2018 23:07"></span></span> <span class="message_count">8 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42275.8">42275.8</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42275.1#a42275_7" target="_self">42275.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> DVI-D only carries the digital signal, if you want to go to VGA you need either a DVI-I output or an active digital/analogue converter to render the VGA signal from the digital one.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42275.8&return_msg=42275.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42275.8"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42275_9"></a><div class="message" id="message_42275_9"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 9 Dec 2018 19:19</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: koswix <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Dec 2018 19:19"></span></span> <span class="message_count">9 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42275.9">42275.9</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42275.1#a42275_4" target="_self">42275.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> The d-a converter has s-video input too, but theres no hdmi-s-video converter<em> </em>I can find. <span class="emoticon e_crying" title=":-(("><span class="e__">:-((</span></span> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42275.9&return_msg=42275.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42275.9"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42275_10"></a><div class="message" id="message_42275_10"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time"> 9 Dec 2018 20:58</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 10 Dec 2018 00:14"></span></span> <span class="message_count">10 of 33</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42275.10">42275.10</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42275.1#a42275_9" target="_self">42275.9</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Composite-Converter-Include-Adapter/dp/B00LK95VNQ">https://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Composite-Converter-Include-Adapter/dp/B00LK95VNQ</a><br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42275.10&return_msg=42275.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42275.10"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="42275.11" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
