ok its new video card time . thing is i am running a 22" crt Mitsubishi diamond plus 200. This monitor has 2 connections for D-Sub so i can run 2 PC`s from it .

However i notice a lot of new video cards come with 2 dvi outputs and no d-sub.

Am i correct in thinking that they wont be compatible with my monitor as it doesnt have dvi connector or does the dvi at the cards end connect to a dsub at the monitor via some sort of dongle/adaptor ?


cheers
 
The DVI ports on the card are DVI-I ports. That is, they contain both an analogue and a digital signal

The card should come with DVI-I to D-SUB converters so you can use your current monitors with the card
