Normal crt monitor outputs on new cards?

[dai]

Hi guys i have purchased an evga 8800 GTS (n92) o these cards not support older crt monitors i can only see dual dvi out on them and none of the older crt outputs.

If this is the case are there adapters available to connect to a crt monitor or am i going to need to pick up a newer monitor sooner than i thought?

you can pick a vga to dvi adapter very easly and quite cheaply. Did one not come with your card?

My EVGA 8800gt 512mb SSC came with a VGA-DVI adapter.

Card hasnt arrived yet. I jsut wanted to check as i have been researching issues with the Abit IP35 Pro and the new PCIE 2.0 cards.

I have bought an ABit IP35 pro and the GTS 8800 (n92) and am a little worried thier not gonig to work together now....

While worrying about that i realised i hadnt checked if the card came with adaptors for older vga monitors. Thanks for at least resolving one issue

Just got to hope my Corsair 620W/Abit IP35 Pro and the GTS 8800 will work together properly now.

My corsair 520W has no problems. I doubt it would have any problems powering a GTX either.

People report running GTX SLi off a HX520W so a 620W will be fine, that deffo runs GTX SLi so one GTS is just fine .

The card will deffenitly come with a DVi-VGA adaptor. Hopefully you wont have any issues at all .

Thanks. Just been reading on a few forums about some issues between Pcie 1.0/1.0a and the newer pcie 2.0 cards. From what i've seen reading through pages of posts on the abit forums the issue hapenns a lot. Just hope that as the posts i read were from just before christmas that the issues have been resolved and i dont encounter them i guess.

No problem here with Abit IP35-E and PCI-E-2 8800 GT if that helps.

ohh nice to know

Fingers crossed mine will work nice and easily. Kit arrived a little earlier so going to build it a little later on.
