Display port to VGA possible?

[Flakey]

Hi all,

Since I was planning on getting a new card soon and I saw that 5850 for a nice price I thought it would be a nice choice. Although due to the connections of the card im unsure if both of my monitors will be useable. I currently have to vga monitors you see and im using dvi > vga adapters and since theres only one dvi port on the "5850 Twin FrozR" card what do I do?

Sorry if the post doesn't make that much sense.

Hi Flakey.

I think you'll have to go to page 2 to get your answer.

So I would have to connect that to a dvi adapter then to a vga adapter? Thanks for the help, although are you sure thats the only option because I was looking for something slightly cheaper otherwise it makes the card a lot less attractive :/.

A passive Displayport to VGA works fine. In fact I'm using one myself
