Hi all just a question. I have just bought an Asus 7870 with I thought 2 DVI connections. So here is my dilemma, I have two VGA monitors, so I connect both the adapter so it will plug into the DVI slot perfect I then try it in the other DVI slot and it won't fit. I'm baffled as they look the same however I do notice that one has DVI/VGA written beside it and the other one just DVI but both look the same.

So my question is what do I need to buy converter wise to make this work it also has a HDMI and a display port.

Link to what my graphics card has port wise:http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD7870DC2TG2GD5V2

Many thanks in advance
 
One connector is DVI-I (analogue and digital) the other is DVI-I (digital only) so it won't work with the VGA adapter.

The monitors have no other connection options?

If they're VGA only then you need a DisplayPort to VGA adapter for the second monitor.
