dvi to vga adaptors?

[Skree]

Hey fellas i'm about to change my gfx card but the new one has no VGA port, being a HD4870.. my monitor is for the moment an old CRT but i'd prefer to keep it for now till i've got a bit more cash to get a really nice monitor.

I've seen adaptors that look like you can plug a vga monitor into a dvi graphics card, but, do they work? are they any good?

Yep, I've done that plenty of times. You're more than likely to receive one with the card so just plug it in and use like normal.

its a pretty standard thing, you get one or two with every card (well, all the cards ive ever bought) and they work perfectly fine.
