dvi monitor on vga vidcard

i want to buy 2 tft's for duel screen, i have 1 dvi and 1 vga connector on my vidcard. i'm hearing people say it cannot be done to connect a dvi monitor ona vga connector on the vidcard.

but im seeing these

thats basically what i need dvi(m)vga(f)

but then they note: Dvi Analog To Vga Dv17m/hd15f (i have no clue what that means)

help me out pls :)

can you give us some smaller pics perhaps ?
and maybe darken them up too ;) :eek:

Not100% positive, but;
your monitor that's intended to be hooked up to the vga out on video card will need to have a DVI-A or DVI-I jack.. I have (2) jacks on my NEC MultiSync - a DVI-D and a D-sub (VGA)

...the D-sub (VGA) gets plugged into my Analog VGA VC output.

prolly just made it even more confusing for ya :(

i was looking at

Sony: SDM-HS75
DVI: D-sub

so what does that mean? :)

It's like I4 said. If the monitor has a D-Sub input, then you can just use that for one of the monitors. However, if your monitor only has a single port and that port is DVI-D, you are not going to be able to run both monitors from that one card.

Hi;
I should've added D-sub (VGA 15pin) to my last post - so it reads

you posted;

Most times when DVI is mentioned like that, it's DVI-D (Digital Only) - but you can check by comparing the jack on te monitor to the links provided.

D-sub is a Standard Analog VGA 15pin connector (HD-15)...so your VideoCard has 1 jack for each, according to the Sony specs you posted...that does NOT mean for sure that the VideoCard will output BOTH types of signals at once..nor even use BOTH jacks at once.

I have no idea of knowing with the info provided;
unless the VC is in your Sig ?

and this - if it's your VC - it seems to incidate DUAL VGA only as seen in this jpg
and the VC has a DVI-I out (that would be DVI-Integrated...meaning Analog capable)

*edit;

but DV17m/hd15f = Digital 17pin Male / HD15 Female
(HD15 is "High Density" standard VGA 15pin - it's NOT HDTV or "High Definition TeleVision")

yes the vidcard in the sig is the correct one im using.

so d-sub on tft's doesnt mean d-sub/vga ? or am i wrong again :P

i concider myself to know alot about hardware, but this; i don't get it AT ALL :D
