I see an adapter in the description picture and I'm assuming it's a DVI to VGA adapter, is this true?

Yes the card does come with a DVI to VGA adapter and most GPU's come with one but they are pretty inexpensive for the most part.

yes, you MUST also purchase an adapter that turns it into the VGA connections.

You cannot use the cheap passive adapters for DVI to vga because the card has only DVI-I outputs. The expensive active adapters are required.

No it does not. The card has a DVI and a VGA connector, but no separate adapter.

It likely will NOT work because it is an adapter versus the actual cable. It has been my experience that adapters are hit or miss propositions and mostly misses. By contrast, however, if you buy a VGA to DVI cable, that setup will work. The cable is only about $2:00 more than the adapter so it is well worth your while to buy the cable. The cable has a VGA plug on one end and a DVI cable on the other end They are designed for the purpose you have just described and typically they work. The adapters, by contrast, are very unreliable. They may work and then, again, they may not.

The adapter will allow you to convert DVI-D to VGA. In essence you will be able to attach a Projector with a VGA input to a DVI-D port on either a workstation or laptop. It works perfectly! It even has an additional USB power input on the connector itself if the DVI-D port on the system requires additional power for the digital signal.

IF your computer has BOTH a vga and a dvi video output then its a qualified "yes"...but it depends on the video card...you would have one monitor hooked up to the vga out and one to the dvi out using this adapter. I assume you dont have a monitor with dvi input to test first...If you have only one video output, there are usb-based multiple monitor devices you might want to check out as an option.

No, this is a serial to USB adapter. It has nothing to do with VGA or video.

Steven Shields, The DisplayPort in the description is a DisplayPort output. If you need to connect a VGA monitor, one of the DVI ports can be converted.

it's a VGA adapter for HDMI port. HDMI is the best resolution like a TV. I'm not positive of your resolution needs but if it's high resolution then yes HDMI will be able to display it.

yes- note that the adapter is a knockoff with out the I chip and night work or not depending what you are hooking it to and what vga cable you are yousing

Since it is to convert to vga, it is a dvi-i. Remember, you can't make a double conversion to hdmi. You can make only one jump.

I'm sorry, but I have to correct James C. Kenny's answer. It absolutely, positively matters. This adapter, as most others, CAN NOT work VGA --> HDMI. You can find some that will do VGA --> HDMI, but you'll get mixed results. The ones that do work usually have an external power supply attached.

This is not an active adapter. An active adapter should not be required to between a Displayport computer or video card and a DVI monitor. Both use compatible digital signals, though Displayport is capable of high color precision.

this adaptor converts from usb to RS232 serial. If that is what you are trying to do it will work well. It is not for VGA as that is a video format.

You need a converter box which are fairly expensive. DVI are Digital and VGA are analog.

I have two monitors next to each other, one is the VGA and one is display port to VGA. If there is a difference it doesn't seem very apparent to me. Looks the same.
