About this deal

I've also tried using my old X850XT Crossfire Edition to test the DVI adapter and that didn't give a display output either The monitor has a picture of a VGA slot on the input select and is titled "RGB" and that works fine when I'm using the X1300 with VGA output with just the regular cable. I'm trying to get this sorted so I can put in my spare 7950GT and use that instead... but it only has 2 DVI outputs. (yes I have tried both of them before you ask) That obviously makes DVI-A to VGA adapters look like the guility party but no, you said you used 3 different ones with the same results.

Yes, those 4 pins around the + are explicitly for analog. If those holes are not present, the GPU itself is incapable of producing analog. These invariably abuse the 5V line of the HDMI plug intended for powering up the EDID EEPROM in the monitor for supplying power to the video conversion chip. Some of these cheap adapters try to draw a lot of current from that line (more than the 50mA max that the HDMI spec describes) and could easily fry the voltage regulator on the GPU.If they are functioning correctly, yes. DVI-I (what is on the cards) includes DVI-D (digital) and DVI-A (analog). The adapter you are using should be a DVI-A to VGA adapter which basically means it is only pulling the analog signal out. And I have an adapter which converts DVI to VGA... so I plug this onto the graphics card and put my VGA cable into it, and plug the other end of the VGA cable into the monitor. I have to assume it really, really doesn't like VGA adapters. I have no idea how or why but that's really the only conclusion I'm drawing. The cheapest thing to try (and a better picture to boot) is a DVI-D cable. Again, make sure it is DVI-D. Some monitors won't accept DVI-I.

But when I put the adapter on the DVI slot on the X1300 and the other end plugged into the monitor is still VGA, it doesn't find any display and goes to power save Basically I have a monitor which accepts both VGA and DVI input, but I only have a VGA cable... and I only have a card with DVI slots (this is a lol situation) i've assembled my diy dvi to hdmi cable, this is the best i can do (pictures), the hdmi cable i used seems like the cheapo one since data shields and any grounds are connected to one single wire (chassis), so i have to connect all DVI shields into one and connect to there. but it seems to work, i managed to setup my Z800, but i have problem with quadro 4000 driver in Win7Pro 32 bit, so i can only test 800 x 600 resolution meh. i dont think its likely the driver installation problem has to do with my diy conversion right?I guess that leaves only one question: how many monitors are you trying this on? Just one? Can you try a different monitor to see if it yeilds the same results?

The adapter isn't the problem, as if the card doesn't output vga, it will be missing the 4 pins on the left of that picture (like the single link or dual link one) and thus the adapter wouldn't go in. I do however have an adapter which does have some pins missing which looks like the DVI-A one at the bottom of the picture So what could be the problem? Because I have 3 different adapters and have tried them all and none of them work

The card is not the issue (X1300) as it also has a DVI output, which I have used the VGA adapter on and again it gives no display on the monitor, and it is not the VGA adapater that's the problem because I've used different ones and they all give no display.
