d-sub?

[junya]

hi there,

i have a vx912 that has dvi and d-sub ports.

i'm just wondering what d-sub is? can you connect a standard vga cable to this and then to a gfx card?

i'm asking as my graphics card has died, and i now need to useonbard which only has a vga conncetion. from googling though it seems d-sub can output vga?

can anyone answer this? cheers.

thanks for the reply badass.

was worried it needed some special "d-sub cable" or something. so i can use a standard vga minitor cable from my onboard graphics > d-sub port on monitor.

it's only a temporary thing as i ought to use its dvi really. unless the difference is not that noticeable. do you think ill see a major drop in image quality?
