That should be what you're looking for. I guess your video card only has dvi? As awesome as it is, it sucks if you need to switch to an old monitor.

Yes, those come with new video cards for a reason. Though I assume what you have is the reverse of that adapter (see male/female ends).

DVI can carry digital and analog data
VGA can only carry analog data

video cards' DVI port usally streams out both digital and analog data, thats why you can convert the port to VGA

video cards' VGA port only streams out analog data, a VGA-DVI adapter only streams analog data via analog section of the DVI connector. (so if your monitor doesn't support analog data, it just wont work.)

also, VGA to DVI then to HDMI won't work either because HDMI is for digital data only Wink

Yes. Just use that converter you posted a pic of. Looks like you plug the dvi end into the pc and connect the vga end between the converter and monitor. Easy as pie.

I don't know how male/female connectors work

No, the converter the OP posted wouldn't work, they'd need the inverse with the male DVI and female VGA.

oh. I didnt really look. He can buy the cable or a similar one like I posted. Its not expensive and it will save him a hundred bucks from buying a monitor with a DVI port.

I've only ever seen them come with a male DVI end, to plug directly into the card. However, if it came with your video card it should work fine.
