Ive just ordered some new things for my computer one of them being an x1800xt which has 2 dvi connectors on the back. Me being the idiot that I am forgot all about this and have just remembered that my monitor is quite old and only has a vga connector! Is there such thing as a dvi to vga convertor? And where can I get one? Overclockers dont seem to do one :confused:

help muchly appreciated!

Can't post any links as it's against forum rules.

Yes , you can get a DVI / VGA adapter - About £5.00

Google " dvi vga adapter "

Cheers,

Mark

I couldnt find the £5 one but I found a £1.99 one instead? its described as

"DVI Adapter - DVI Male 29pin to SVGA Female 15pin"

would the low price mean lower signal quality? would it make much difference?

There should have been one in the box :confused:

I know my x800 came with one, and my mates 7800 did aswell. They're usually refered to as dongles :confused:

I just got some 7600GT's Came with 2 in each box, if it doesn't come with one i'd have words with them about it.

Don't panic, an adapter will come in the box, if not two.
