bikdel · 23-10-2007, 08:48 PM

hi guys....

just got my friends XFX 6800 Extreme 256 MB
took it from him for 1 month and gave him fx 5200.. lolz

anyways, the thing is that he had an lcd n i have a 17" CRT

but as soon as i got the card, to my surprise, i had a Dual DVI and S Video...

NO VGA???...
now how do i connect my CRT to the DVI port??

is it possible to use any converter??

yes you can get DVI to VGA adapter. you can get it for under 100 bucks i think.

sam_1710 · 23-10-2007, 08:55 PM

yup.. its possible using a DVI to VGA convertor

Its usually bundled with Graphic cards.. but u can buy them separately for some 250 bucks or so!!

bikdel · 23-10-2007, 08:57 PM

woooow......... man... didnt know it........... we get that for both ways??
i mean from DVI-VGA n VGA-DVI???

nvidia · 23-10-2007, 08:58 PM

Ask your friend if its bundled with the Gfx Card... He'll have it i think...

bikdel · 23-10-2007, 09:05 PM

okay... thnx for that info.....

BTW
@ whots the retail price of the above card??.... maybe i'll buy the same...
needed to play bioshock desperately!!

bikdel · 24-10-2007, 09:41 PM

"Intel Celeron D 2.4 Ghd, 533 Mhz FSB, 256 KB L2
1 GB DDR 400
160 GB SATA II HDD working on SATA I MOBO
Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 128 MB"

beware DVI-D cannot be converted to RGB or analog VGA .

dOm1naTOr · 24-10-2007, 09:49 PM

@bikdel
6600 is out of production. As u want an AGP solution , the best deal is 7600GT for 6k[GP] or 7600GS for 4.5k~5k[AGP].

The 7600GT cud give more performance than 6800 Extreme or Ultra in todays games.
Or u can also have ATI X1600 Pro or XT AGP.

@vivekbabbudelhi
nup dude. It can be done via the adapter dat sam said. But the other way is not possible[If i remember]. U cannot convert D sub analog to DVI digital via ny adapters.

vivekbabbudelhi · 24-10-2007, 10:05 PM

^^dvi-i carries both analog & digital
dvi-d just has digital
so dvi-i can be converted to rgb with just a plug

bikdel · 24-10-2007, 10:07 PM

u mean to say 7600 Gt/GS is in production??... no way man... jus the left over stock is there i gues...

and why cannot one go for DX 10 cards, i mean if someone has pretty decent config and just wants wants prformance from the ageing AGP bus because upgrade would come at a higher cost, then:

then one can opt for HD 2400 or 2600 AGP, isnt it... so better performance in vista as well...

and AFAIK HD 2600 performs better than 7600 GT

dOm1naTOr · 24-10-2007, 10:16 PM

I dun think HD 2600 is available in AGP. Also there are no GF8 AGP cards out.
So considering that, the better deal is GF7 cards.

bikdel · 25-10-2007, 03:27 PM

they are available dude.... i checked them out...

but possibly not anywhere in this region...
