Just wondering... PC related question...

I bought a EVGA GT630(Graphics card link) but the ports are DVI-I

I was wondering what VGA to DVI adaptor/converter to use? a 18-pin or 24-pin?

I use 24 pin for my AMD Radeon. Seems to work rather well.

I have the same as well, but it doesn't work...

but the 18 pins the ones the technicians we're using worked...

I'm kinda wondering if I should remove the pins to make mines an 18-pin

But I'm worried it would mess it up...

removing anything from hardware like chips can be risky. one mess up and your screwed the problem probably is your motherboard.

the graphics card worked on the shop and the place where I bought my graphics card...

cuz I think its my adapter that's not working...

mines I think is a DVI-I Dual-Link

and the ones that worked is probably a DVI-I Single-Link, but I'm not reaaaaaaaaally sure cuz I don't want to screw this one up...

more info

i just use what came with my monitor so i don't know how to help you exactly

If you guys are using VGA to DVI on your graphics...


can you tell me if its a 24-pin or 18-pin?

an 18-pin doesn't have the 6 pins in the middle.....

uh, just using DVI. i presume your monitor doesn't have a DVI port. sorry if i confused you.

nope, doesn't....

oh well... gonna drive out soon to buy an adapter then vga/DVI cable, just to make sure
