Was there not one supplied with your gpu? My two gtx 470's came with mini - standard hdmi cables.

shouldn't the card come with an adapter for that.

Dea924 · 25 Apr 2011 at 14:07

theres an adapter, Yellow looking thing with an hdmi slot on it.. but there was no cable ?.. i have an hdmi cable for the t.v but ofc with it being a mini slot on the back of the card it doesnt fit :/

Least youve got it sorted. Incidentally, this is the cable that i got with my gpu's.

Not much use though as its too short.

Dea924 · 25 Apr 2011 at 14:17

ive confused myself twice now.. because the adapter the hdmi cable goes into.. which i used to see if it fitted on the gfx card (which it fitted)... but theres no hdmi slot on the monitor.. so i have to use the adapter to plug into the monitor... and still need a mini hdmi cable/connector thing to put in the back of the gfx card :S

Which 460 have you got could help.

Dea924 · 25 Apr 2011 at 14:20

Dea924 · 25 Apr 2011 at 14:22

If it's that one it should come with the adapter for hdmi it even says so on the site

Put the dvi adapter in and then plug in your hdmi cable into the hdmi slot at the end of it.

No Hotlinking

The one with lots of pins goes in to the dvi slot and the cable goes in the other side.

i have the adapter for the hdmi to plug into the monitor, what i need is a hdmi to mini hdmi cable, as the mini hdmi bit is what i need to plug into the gfx card if im right, but i cant find it on the webby

thats the adapter, but as i said a standard cable is too big to fit in the gfx

that would work wouldnt it?... £8 bit steep for a cable mind

J-FRO · 25 Apr 2011 at 14:47

Even im confuzzled with this.

Can't you just use a mini HDMI cable to connect the GPU to your monitor? I don't use any adapters at all with my 5770....

Dea924 · 25 Apr 2011 at 14:53

lol theres no hdmi slot on the monitor, just a dvi (i think) which the yellow adapter plugs into.. i just need a mini hdmi cable to plug into the gfx card to connector to the adapter. if that makes sense lol

What monitor have you got?

If it has no speakers built in, just use a DVI cable and forget about using any adaptors (chances are, if you use an adaptor on the monitor it won't pass audio anyway).
