DVI to D-sub

HardKoreZ · 06-22-2009, 03:57 AM

I just recently purchased a custom computer from the ebay and without realizing the graphics card may or may not work with my moniter. The Graphics card that comes with the comp is an nVidia GeForce 9800GT 512MB 2DVI/HDTV PCI-Express Video Card. I didnt order a new moniter being Im low on cash plus I already have an ACER 17" Widescreen LCD screen. I checked out newegg for specifics and it said the following...
Input Video - Compatibility Analog RGB
Connectors - D-Sub - DSub1 - DVI No - HDMI No
Well I saw on the graphics card that the connectors were Dual DVI and TV-out. I checked out other forums and the such and some say that the DVI on my graphics card will work for my Moniters D-sub. Im hoping this is correct or else Il be bummed majorly. So can anyone confirm this? Will my graphics card work with my moniter or amI gonna have to go out and buy some sort of adapter or new moniter or what? Plz Help!!
Thankyou for taking the time to read this and even more appreciation for replieing if you do.

The video card usually comes with at least one dvi to vga adapter. Don't know if wherever you're buying the computer is going to send one with it, they should, but may be worth contacting them to find out. If not, the adapters aren't costly.
