My brand new 6850 had arrive but now got a problem of dual monitors set up - As you can guess by the title I just bought a Asus ATi Radeon 6850. It has 4 ports on the back. 2 x DVI, 1 x HDMI and 1 x Display Port. I had an Asus nVidia GTX 260 running dual DVI however dual DVI will not work on the 6850. I've gone through all the settings and removed/re-installed the display drivers. The second monitor is not present in Device Manager. Any thoughts? Please help! As I need dual monitors as I had 2 x same make and model of 21.5" AOC monitors come with 2 x VGA, no DVI or HDMI at all.
 
Well, I am not happy about it, as my geforce gtx 260 work fine on dual monitors and why it so much too complicated will not work on both vga monitors ?

The top DVi to VGA adaptor to 1st monitor work but bottom DVi to VGA adaptor won't work on 2nd monitors ? The geforce will work but why not on ATi Radeon ? I cannot use DVi direct or HDMI because my both monitors only come with two VGA !

Which adaptor part do I need for the bottom DVi to VGA convert ?
 
Oh I am so disappointed - I should have gone for GTX 460 1GB instead, never thought of HD 6850 will not work on both VGA monitors.

You must be joking ? over £100 for converting the second DVI port (the DVI-D one) to VGA (cost more than the grapghic card itself!)
 
I found one: StarTech DisplayPort to VGA Video Adaptor Converter as I had to order it and will be with me in 5 working days. I had to use my GTX 260 for now until this one come and I hope it will work! Finger cross
