Card purchase question

[redfist]

I'm looking to get this card MSI ATI Radeon HD 5850 Twin FrozR II 1024MB GDDR5

Problem is that my monitor at the moment only has a vga connection, is there a converter i could use to use this card as it has been my plan to upgrade my card now all the rest of my build is in place.

thanks

Yes, you can buy adapters.

Though I would advise a monitor upgrade ASAP.

Thanks, so would this work ? OcUK Value 2m DVI to VGA Cable (DV-104) [DV-104]

Also don't really want to upgrade monitor yet as my wife only brought it for me 2 years ago!! she wouldn't be to happy to know its showing its age already

All the card's I've bought in the last few years have. Looking at MSI's page for this card it looks like this one does too: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=694&prod_no=2029
Scroll down to Product Accessories.

Feel a bit stupid now, they replied:

I shall be able to find this out for you on Friday, unfortunately we have no stock at the moment so I am unable to check to see what is available, I am pretty certain you will have a DVI to VGA connector as majority of the graphic cards in the 5850 range do come with it. If you would like me to check on Friday please remind me

Should have thought of that in the first place..

Would anyone who brought this before be able to confirm?
